91 Year Old Superhuman
By: Mark Joyner
Some call him "a modern day Da Vinci."
He has hundreds of inventions.
He's the author of 13 books.
He is the subject of several documentaries including the award-winning "Future by Design."
At 91, he works harder than anyone I've ever met, has a razor-sharp mind, and is still inventing, writing, and drawing every single day - just about non-stop.
His name is Jacque Fresco.
We met last year and became fast friends when we discovered that my "Construct Zero" and his "Venus Project" were on very similar paths.
My wife and I spent several days with them at their Venus, Florida 22 acre research center and our talks were exhilarating.
While I'm busy designing systems that will move people along the path toward a brighter future (Simpleology is an important part of that broader picture), Jacque has spent more time actually designing what that future itself will look like.
"This is great," you may think, "but what does this have to do with 'The Simple Science of Getting What You Want?'"
Two things ...
First, on a personal level Jacque exemplifies everything that we talk about in Simpleology 101 and the Simpleology print book.
If you're younger than 91 and are using your age to prevent you from living your life fully, it's now official: it's time to knock that off.
Next, not only is Jacque a doer on a historic scale, he's also a genius teacher.
For example, he has a unique method for teaching anyone how to draw within just a few short lessons.
My wife had no art experience whatsoever and was drawing various shapes reasonably well after spending an hour with Jacque.
His partner, Roxanne Meadows, graduated from two prestigious art schools and still couldn't draw how she wanted. Strange isn't it?
She says it wasn't until she met Jacque that she really knew how to draw.
Over the coming days I'll release some videos of Jacque that will demonstrate this, and a few other interesting things, for you.

Met him years ago when he was working on his underwater city.He is like my hero Bucky Fuller.Check out our site above to see what we are doing with Bucky's vision!
Mark,
This is great stuff! I wonder how Jacque keeps in shape. I wonder what his health secrets are, because I want to be like him...well into old age.
Hi... what a great guy! Thanks for introducing him to us all.
I honestly don't think anything, e.g. age, life circumstances, should be/can be used as an excuse to achieve your goals.
I love your site...
Best wishes
Jeanne

thankyou for share this story.
Mark,
Thanks for giving a story from the other side of the news. If watch the regular news one might get the idea there is not much hope for humanity.
I was stunned to read of Jacque Presco. Since I doubt there could be two people with his distinctive name, this must be the man whose lectures and classes I attended in the late 50s in Miami. What I learned from him enabled me to turn my life around. I have often wondered where he was and what he was doing now.
Thanks for the post!
This sounds very interesting. I look forward to the videos and more information about Jacque Fresco.
Thanks Mark, for this blog post.
Wow... I HAVE to meet this guy... one day.
He's probably going to be one of the first transhumanists to achieve immortality so I guess I'll have plenty of time.
What an inspiring story!
Even though I teach about happiness, I still have some days when my body feels weary and my mind drifts to so pretty pathetic thoughts. Thanks for this story. It's a great jump start to undoing my 'nots' and getting off my 'but'.
What an inspiration!
How very very interesting Jacque, now I know I must put the peddle to the metal and go for it...I thought I was nuts to be doing this stuff at 69 soon to be 70, now, I'm inspired , my weekly checks should double by the end of the year...right!
