I am Jonathan Despres, the polymath futurist & a technology evangelist.


File:Jonathandespres.gif

science fiction is a great way to meet people in the present interactions.

I struggle against schizophrenia affective, a mental disease, 1 percent of the population suffer from this.

I don't have money for Alcor right now so if a multi millionaire or a billionaire want to help me, contact me for that. I don't have access to life insurance because of my disease. I'm born in December 15th 1981 and my native language is french.

Human progress

My personal web site :

www.jonathandespres.com


I dedicate this page for me & my friendships (females, males, animals, past or future, lost or present) & to the noosphere.

I think it's good to be ambitious, if we want to learn alot. My current job is to share & connect with important decision makers in order to improve the world we live in & give to the humanity a better future. I keep an effective information management strategy by reading books, web articles & watching videos on science, investment & technology daily. I could be called a polymath futurist doing futuring. I am focusing my attention on the big ideas of science, technology, venture capital & society. A polymath interested in an applied futurity or a futurist activity will not search to look inside one field or a specialized area, but will rather try to experiment on various topics & to discover as much as possible the ideas involved with the future.

  • Donations (I would like to donate when I have enough money, I invite you to do the same).
  • Companies (Companies interesting to invest in).

I have also a collection of 101 movies in Science Fiction.

Jonathan Despres' ideas involving futurism

edit

Big, interesting & studied because each area open the doors (I'm a science traveler) to many other future technologies & scientific fields, communities, researches. Those enabling fields give you some tools for a personal growth & some motivation. Each door is actually a portal to a different place (call it eclecticism). I keep each field under my attention, updated & involved in each communities (I have been involved in many in the past). I also want to help financially each field. They share positives values with me. Each dates represent the time when I first discovered the sense of them & when I opened my mind to them. Every fields of research are important to me & have changed my way of thinking. Furthermore, I did news reporting for everyone for free in nanotechnology for 3 years (by creating the second blog or news source on nanotechnology after Nanodot, at that time) & in the medical field of life extension while 2 years. One of an interest is to predicate any single events by mathematics and build or grow predictions technologies. I am working in the finance & construction/electricity area. I also love space, astronomy. To travel. etc..

I study the future, I started with the number 0 below (Nuclear Energy), it led me to many great discoveries. I plan to become better & safe with my perpetual assets project, my preparation before my death, knowledge, my time in biostasis (if I get funding for it) & the talent of my trustees, I expect to return as a beneficiary. I have over a decade of experiences exploring long term technological change and its impact on society.

Some people will call these like a Science Fiction Themes List or a List of futurology topics (I'm more social & more scientific than them & less narrow..) Now your work is to pick/find your favorite topic & build/grow the wikipedia page in question. Go ahead. We need futurists to open the future !
