Jaco Fresco. He is now 100, but life still rages in his eyes, he continues to work every day.



I uphold Jacque Fresco. He was 100 years old, he is a year older than the October revolution, war and survived all the storms of the XX century, boldly stepped into the new millennium, and still retains a striking clarity of mind.



In school, he refused to bring the traditional oath of US flag that was sent to the Director. But he heard the child's reasoning about the shortcomings of the education system, said it would buy him any books and allow dealt with separately from the other children. All that was required of Jacques - it is coming every week to the Director and to report on what books he has read and understood it from them. Unfortunately, two years later the director died, and Jacques was deprived of its privileges. Then, at the age of 12 years old he left school and began himself to lecture and teach science to their friends. In 14 during the Great Depression, Jacques traveled hitchhiking across the country and made it to California without a penny in his pocket. At 15 he met with Albert Einstein, discussions which forever changed his view of the world. In the same year he began to work on the aviation industry. Upon learning of his age and the fact that he had not even graduated from high school he did not want to take on a major engineering office. Then he showed his drawings of airplanes that are so impressed bosses that soon he even allowed to open his own laboratory. In the 20s he again went traveling and got right up to the savages of French Polynesia. There, he was so impressed with the way of life of local natives, he decided to create a new trend in science and change the economy from the monetary system on resource-oriented. Thus was born "The Venus Project", describing the idea of ​​Jaco Fresco on the future of the world order.



All my life this amazing scientist-futurist dedicated work to create a better future for all mankind. He was talking about electric cars, plasma screens and virtual reality even 50 years ago. He designed "smart" homes, new cars, airplanes, spaceships and entire cities. He wrote several books, has created many instructional videos and lectures in dozens of countries around the world.



He is now 100, but life still rages in his eyes, he continues to work every day. We talked to him excitedly four hours. Finally, I asked him what advice he could give to young people, so that the chief would like to teach. And he said:



«Do not listen to people who laugh at you, who do not believe in what you do and say what you're going the wrong way. In a world of so much road, who knows where it will lead? So do not stop, go forward, at the end of more than think about the road itself than about who was right and who - no »
