Our Founder: Josh Universe

Transhumanist Media was founded by Josh Universe, an American analog astronaut, biohacker, and science communicator who stands as a visionary leader in the human enhancement arena. As a young entrepreneur and futurist, Josh has spearheaded major community initiatives — including the International Biohacking Community and the Transhumanist Council — that bring together tens of thousands of enthusiasts and experts worldwide. His experience as a scientist-astronaut candidate and his passion for extending human capabilities have imbued this platform with a unique sense of purpose.

With Transhumanist Media, Josh Universe channels his commitment to innovation and education into a publication that bridges the gap between cutting-edge labs, philosophical think tanks, and the public sphere. He envisions this platform not just as a media outlet, but as a community square for insight and dialogue – a place where groundbreaking ideas about human longevity, intelligence, and well-being are rigorously explored and widely shared. Under his leadership, Transhumanist Media remains steadfast in upholding intellectual integrity and aspirational vision, setting the tone for thoughtful discourse on our species’ future.

International Biohacking Community

The International Biohacking Community (IBC) is one of the core collaborators and intellectual pillars supporting Transhumanist Media. Founded by Josh Universe in 2023, the IBC has grown into the world’s largest network of biohackers – a global platform for open research, discussion, and innovation in augmenting biology. This community unites citizen scientists, wellness enthusiasts, and professionals in fields like genetics and longevity science to share experiments, knowledge, and best practices. From DIY biology labs to discussions on nootropics and gene editing, the IBC embodies a grassroots movement to push the boundaries of human health and potential.

As a partner to Transhumanist Media, the International Biohacking Community keeps our content tapped into real-world experimentation and cutting-edge biotechnological innovation. The insights and discoveries emerging from IBC’s members help inform our reporting on life extension, cognitive enhancement, and personal health autonomy. This collaboration ensures that Transhumanist Media’s coverage of human enhancement is not only theoretical but also grounded in the practical advances and collective wisdom of the biohacking community worldwide. The IBC’s spirit of curiosity and responsible experimentation resonates through our articles, enriching our platform with a hands-on perspective on transforming the human condition.

The Transhumanist Council

The Transhumanist Council is another key collaborator and intellectual pillar of Transhumanist Media. Established in late 2024 under Josh Universe’s leadership, the Council is a globally oriented organization devoted to advancing the principles of transhumanism and connecting futurists across continents. It operates some of the largest transhumanist forums and groups online – including popular Reddit and Discord communities – and engages over 100,000 members in dialogue about emerging technologies and ethics. By fostering discussions on topics such as artificial intelligence, genetic enhancement, and the societal implications of radical longevity, the Transhumanist Council serves as a central hub for the transhumanist movement’s thought leadership.

Through its partnership with Transhumanist Media, the Council infuses our platform with a broad, worldwide perspective and a deep well of expertise. Its network of scientists, philosophers, innovators, and advocates provides valuable input and inspiration for the stories we cover. This collaboration helps ensure our content remains attuned to the latest developments, debates, and visions percolating within the transhumanist community at large. In essence, the Transhumanist Council amplifies our ability to be the voice of a global conversation – one that spans disciplines and cultures in pursuit of a smarter, longer-lived, and more enlightened humanity.
