U.S. Transhumanist Party Virtual Enlightenment Salon with David Shumaker – October 15, 2023

On Sunday, October 15, 2023, at 1 p.m. U.S. Pacific Time, the U.S. Transhumanist Party’s Director of Applied Innovation since 2020 and USTP Member since 2017, David Shumaker, will discuss his history and experiences and how they contributed to his interest in emerging technologies, as well as his work in the Director of Applied Innovation role over the past 3.75 years. He will be able to answer viewer questions about his outlook on current and emerging technologies, and discuss his thoughts for his successor in this position after his forthcoming retirement.

David Shumaker is a Technologist, Futurist, Explorer, Transhumanist, Cryonicist, and ENFJ. Applied Innovation, defined by David, uses creative thinking, collaboration, commitment, and behavior changes to close the gap between theory and practice.

David’s lifelong focus is applying technology for the betterment of humanity. He is a certified systems engineer, administrator, and trainer. David has instructed at private and public institutions and has extensive field experience with multiple Fortune 500 companies. David’s technology career began in the United States Air Force, where he retired as a Chief Master Sergeant (E9).

From an early age, David considered himself both a futurist and explorer. As a result, he is energized seeing technology he once dreamed of, progressing from concept to prototype to product to commodity. In addition to his military career, David grew up in an army family and resided and traveled extensively in the United States and other countries. As a result, he experienced many different cultures, technologies, and values.

David was introduced to transhumanism via a super-longevity community at the RAADfest Conference – Revolution Against Aging and Death. There he met USTP Chairman Stolyarov and other officers and transhumanists interested in a techno-positive future for humanity. Transhumanism was a perfect fit for David’s futurist and explorer traits and his profound interest in super-longevity.
