Good intro and overview on AI risks from a long-time transhumanist
Everyone is arguing about global-scale AI risks, but many remain poorly informed about key published ideas and risk factors. Here is my intro for newbies to old hands, doomers to zoomers. prestonestep.substack.com/p/…

This is a big one - Opus 5.5's explainer for the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 👀
I had it do a deep dive into the history of optogenetics. The video covers the contributions of Boyden, Pan, Deisseroth, Nagel, Hegemann, Bamberg, Miesenböck, Zhang, and 15 others..
Incredible deep dive, showing why Ed Boyden deserves to share the stage with this year's three Nobel Laureates.
During Boston Longevity Week @JulianIssa gathered four titans of longevity around one table to discuss the most pressing issues that face the field: @AubreydeGrey, @biogerontology @geochurch, and @M_S_Ringel

I put four longevity titans in one room for an hour, and they gave me four very different answers on when we’ll beat aging.
They challenged each other on timelines, the FDA, AI, and the hype problem in longevity science.
Watch @aubreydegrey, @biogerontology, @geochurch, and @M_S_Ringel battle it out, live now on The Beyond Tomorrow Podcast!

Respiratory illness/flu season is fast approaching. If you hate to be sick and you haven’t read my posts Modernizing Variolation Part 1 prestonestep.substack.com/p/… and Part 2 prestonestep.substack.com/p/…, you really should. Modernized Variolation methods are easy and I have used them to avoid four consecutive respiratory illnesses in my home.

On Sunday, October 11, 2026, at 1 p.m. U.S. Pacific Time, 4 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time, watch a stream of two presentations by Michael Ringel and Irina Conboy that were shown at the Translational Longevity Summit in Boston, Massachusetts, a day earlier. youtube.com/live/Fd1jNiWro9w

Upon my return from Europe, I will be pleased to attend 2.5 days of the Translational Longevity Summit in Boston, Massachusetts, at One Milestone at the Harvard Enterprise Research Campus (ERC), from October 9 to the first half of October 11, 2026. I look forward to speaking as part of the panel entitled “The New Social Compact, Transhumanism and the Future” – moderated by Nuno Martins, PhD, alongside Professor Steven A. Garan, PhD, and Paul Spiegel, JD - @paulspiegel. The panel takes place on October 9 at 3 p.m. Eastern Time. There are still opportunities available to see / hear my panel comments if you happen to be in Boston and register at translationallongevity.com/.
Later that evening of October 9, I will be one of the speakers at the nearby Cambridge Community Center, where Dan Elton, PhD - @moreisdifferent, Director of Scholarship for the U.S. Transhumanist Party - @USTranshumanist, has organized a series of Longevity, Science, Tech, and Policy Lightning Talks starting at 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time. I will be speaking on “The Continuing Relevance of Transhumanist Politics” – and look forward to this talk as a partial celebration of the U.S. Transhumanist Party’s recent October 7 12-year anniversary of its founding. Other speakers for the lightning talks will include Ian Huyett, JD - @IanHuyett, Preston Estep, PhD – @PrestonWEstep, James Sinka – @jamessinka , and Dr. Dan Elton himself. This event filled up quickly – luma.com/gpz4wljv – but you can sign up for the waiting list, and if you mention my post at the door… I will see what can be done. Also, I am looking forward to my presentation, along with a possible interview with Dr. Dan Elton, being recorded and shared with a wider audience.
The Translational Longevity Summit is hosted by Joseph Krieger – @josephkrieger of Boston BioLife – @biolife_boston – and Bernard Siegel – @BernardSiegel – of the Healthspan Action Coalition – @HealthspanAct – both great allies of the longevity cause and prior guests of my Virtual Enlightenment Salons. The Longevity Escape Velocity (LEV) Foundation – @LongevityEVF, of which I am the Chair of the Board, is proud to be a Platinum Sponsor of the Translational Longevity Summit.
This is an unprecedented time for longevity-oriented conferences and adjacent events. Never before have there been so many, in so many places throughout the world, within such a short timeframe. International Longevity Month – October 2026 – is shaping up to be among the most impactful in history. I hope to see you in Boston so that we can contribute to that impact – but even if you cannot make it in person, you will be able experience some of that impact virtually once the recordings of my presentations are available. Will this conference activity translate to longer, healthier lives? That is the goal, but it will take all of our combined efforts to make that a reality.
"Modernized Variolation" involves collecting snot samples from a sick person, inactivating them, and using for variolation with adjuvant.
If USTP members are interested, we can invite Preston on for a Virtual Enlightenment Salon to discuss this and other @RADVACproject work..

Replying to @NielsHoven
After being sick most of last winter I can tell you I am very happy that I avoided getting sick three consecutive times from ill people (brother and daughter) living in my home. I'm even happier that I have a relatively simple, general protocol for future prevention.
Reminder again for Boston-area transhumanists and futurists! @GStolyarovII , @PrestonWEstep, @jamessinka , @IanHuyett, and @moreisdifferent will all be speaking! Very few spaces are left so RSVP now if you want to attend! luma.com/gpz4wljv
Today, October 7, 2026, the U.S. Transhumanist Party reaches the 12th anniversary of its formation. We continue to be a voice for putting science, health, and technology at the forefront of politics. Our Chairman @GStolyarovII has been busy promoting our efforts in Europe!
Today, October 7, 2026, the U.S. Transhumanist Party (@USTranshumanist) reaches the 12th anniversary of its formation. We continue to be a voice for putting science, health, and technology at the forefront of politics – highlighting possibilities of technological progress that have been neglected in conventional rhetoric but that are leading the transformation of the human condition itself.
To mark the occasion, yesterday I presented at the Conference on Healthy Longevity in Ljubljana, Slovenia, on the subject of “Transhumanist Politics in the United States and Its Implications for the World” – a fitting opportunity to reflect on some of the USTP’s history and the broader significance of its work. The major impact that we can have is to shift the discourse away from culture-war myopia and toward the open-ended possibilities of a future of radical longevity and abundance for all.
Earlier, on October 1, 2026, I also participated in an excellent panel on Public Advocacy for Longevity at the International Longevity Summit in Madrid, Spain – youtube.com/watch?v=xeq6pHW9… – and I marched for longevity and the defeat of biological aging through the streets and city squares of Madrid with tens of supporters. Transhumanist ideas are gaining visibility, though a significant uphill road remains to be climbed. Still, our longevity thus far demonstrates an ability to persevere, and persevere we shall. The transhumanist tower shown here draws architectural inspiration from some of my European travels while also aspiring upward and toward the future.
Live long and prosper!
