I’ve just returned from some busy travels and I’m still dealing with my own father’s recent death, so I’m a bit late with this post, but legendary futurist Jacque Fresco passed away last week
Posted by Zoltan Istvan in categories: economics, futurism
He was 101 years old. I had the honor to meet Jacque and Roxanne Meadows last year at The Venus Project in Florida. I wrote an extensive article for Vice Motherboard on Jacque and the Resource-based economy: https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/eliminating-money…chnoutopia And Now This Future did a video on my visit with him that now has 14 million views and over 180,000 Facebook shares: https://www.facebook.com/NowThisFuture/videos/1500983249942850/ I’m grateful I met Jacque. He was an amazing person! And his important work will live on.
