    TransVision Madrid 2025 Summit: Longevity March, Omniscope, Gil Rodas, Steve Horvath, Michael Ringel
    Oct 26 2025
    On Sunday, October 26, 2025, at 1 p.m. U.S. Pacific Time, watch a stream of notable events that transpired in Madrid, Spain, on October 1, 2025, International Longevity Day, including the March for Longevity and presentations of various approaches in the fight against aging and disease by Vijay Vaswani, Holger Heyn, Gil Rodas, Steve Horvath, and Michael Ringel.
    The stream begins with the March for Longevity that took place in Madrid on International Longevity Day, October 1, 2025. The march took participants through some of the main streets and plazas of Madrid and ended in front of Madrid City Hall, all the while a battle against the Grim Reaper was waged.
    Footage of the march includes remarks by José Luis Cordeiro, organizer of the TransVision Madrid 2025 International Longevity Summit, and Juan Llopis Climent, Secretary of Alianza Futurista, the transhumanist political party in Spain.
    The stream continues with a session from Day 1 of the TransVision Madrid 2025 Summit, entitled “The Cellular Model of Age: Decoding Healthspan through Exercise, Immunology, and Epigenetics”, featuring detailed presentations by Vijay Vaswani and Holger Heyn, co-founders of Omniscope; Dr. Gil Rodas – the medical doctor for the FC Barcelona soccer club, who, in his presentation entitled “Integrating Deep Immune Profiling in Modern Football Medicine”, discussed insights regarding longevity in athletes and why athletes tend to live longer than the general population; and Dr. Steve Horvath of Altos Labs, who, in his presentation on “Epigenetic Clocks, Immunity, and Interventions”, provided an overview of his famous studies regarding aging clocks and which medical treatments and lifestyle approaches do and do not affect aging at the epigenetic level.
    Dr. Michael Ringel of Life Biosciences then delivered a presentation entitled “Partial Epigenetic Reprogramming to Reverse Age-Related Diseases” to discuss both the theory behind partial epigenetic reprogramming and some of its proximate applications.
    The U.S. Transhumanist Party thanks TransVision Madrid and its fellow transhumanist political party in Spain, Alianza Futurista, for providing the means to offer these presentations to our audience. In particular, we thank Sergio Tarrero of Alianza Futurista for the edited videos pertaining to the March for Longevity and the presentations from Omniscope and Dr. Gil Rodas.

    TransVision Madrid 2025 Summit - Presentations by Jose Cordeiro, Aubrey de Grey, and David Wood
    Oct 5 2025
    On Sunday, October 5, 2025, at 1 p.m. U.S. Pacific Time, watch the presentations from Dr. Jose Cordeiro, David Wood, and Dr. Aubrey de Grey, that were delivered during Day 2 of the TransVision Madrid 2025 International Longevity Summit on October 2, 2025. From Madrid, Spain, the U.S. Transhumanist Party is pleased to stream to you these in-depth presentations by three of the leading transhumanist thinkers.
    Dr. Jose Cordeiro provided an overview of the TransVision Madrid conference, the role of Spain in advancing healthy longevity, and how the history and trajectory of technological advances can bring about “Vita Plus Ultra” – “life far beyond” current limits.
    Dr. Aubrey de Grey provided a presentation entitled “Where do we stand?” – highlighting the current status of the quest to reverse biological aging through the damage-repair approach, including key insights from the Robust Mouse Rejuvenation Study #1 (RMR1) and the major objectives of the RMR2 study for which the pilots are now underway.
    David Wood presented on the Longevity Dividend and the Longevity Dividend Paradox – why correct arguments about the massive economic benefits of greatly extended longevity have not yet led to significant political support for rejuvenation research – and how that paradox might be overcome.
    The U.S. Transhumanist Party thanks TransVision Madrid and its fellow transhumanist political party in Spain, Alianza Futurista, for providing the means to offer these presentations to our audience.

The Virtual Enlightenment Salon will include a discussion of what Euro-Transhumanism is, what differentiates it from “classical transhumanism” in Sorgner’s view, what are some of its policy implications, and what American politics can learn from Euro-Transhumanism, especially in light of the quite turbulent recent political events in the United States.
    Stefan Lorenz Sorgner is a world-leading philosopher recognized for his work in posthumanism, transhumanism, Nietzsche, and the philosophy of music. He is especially known for his interpretations of Friedrich Nietzsche and his critical engagement with human enhancement and emerging technologies. He is a philosophy professor at John Cabot University in Rome, Director and Co-Founder of the Beyond Humanism Network, and a Fellow and Advisor of numerous organizations, as well as Editor-in-Chief and Founding Editor of the Journal of Posthuman Studies, and a prolific public speaker.
