Juan Enriquez. A Futurist. A guy who is living and driving forwards what I have just talked about as a hope. It seems that I am one also as I believe that the progress we are making now will pay off. A Libertarian Futurist. Could be a new political party there.
One of, the many, differences between him and I is that he seems not to worry about the collapse of society. I hope it is because he knows a lot more than I do and sees it as a minor hiccup in the way forward. I agree that progress is made slowly but I am selfish and unless it is really minor even our children could miss out. I want to be part of that future and go out into space with my own spaceship and see what is out there.
I found it amusing that he also talks about the universe and evolution, you know the boring stuff I was doing as background.
With people like him at the helm, and his bio, shows him in a leading role in venture capital then it explains why so much progress has been made despite what is going on in the world. I will have to keep an eye on his TED presentations. It seems he also has interests in energy and lab grown teeth although he does believe that businesses drive innovation out of the market and that governments should intervene. Something I’m against.

A government is the most dangerous threat to man’s rights: it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims. — Ayn Rand (1905 – 1982)
Driving the future and not just talking about it
