D- Zoltan, the knowledge the mental food... for new man of years 2000?
R- The new way for
human beings to move forward is via cyborgism, where we merge machine
parts with the human body. This might include robotic hearts,
artificial limbs, and mind reading headsets. These are the new
technologies that will make up the modern human being moving forward.
D- Zoltan, United
States of the world, project or utopy?
R-The goal of the Transhumanist Party and my personal goal is to create a transhumanist-minded world. We want everyone to embrace transhumanism. We want everyone to want to improve themselves with technology. This may seem like we are striving for a utopia, and indeed, it is true. We are. We want to create a perfect world.

-American values, prosperity, and security, the three primary
things I would do if I became president are: 1) Attempt to do
everything possible to make it so America’s amazing scientists and
technologists have resources to overcome human death and aging within
15-20 years--a goal an increasing number of leading scientist think
is reachable. 2) Create a cultural mind-set in America that embracing
and producing radical technology and science is in the best interest
of our nation and species. 3) Create national and global safeguards
and programs that protect people against abusive technology and other
possible planetary perils we might face as we transition into the
transhumanist era.
