In 2011 Starr was discharged after being diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.
Post Military, Art, and Transhumanism
After his discharge, Starr briefly studied at the Art Institute of Colorado and worked odd jobs until his PTSD became too much of an obstacle and he filed for disability. During his seven year fight for disability benefits, Starr refocused his life back to art and music, much of which was focused in futurism and struggles with “the system”. This eventually led him to find the US Transhumanist Party in 2016 and immediately related to its forward thinking ideas goals.
