Aren’t you tired of being held back by half-baked solutions? Aren’t you pissed at your monkey brain keeping you up at night urging you to take action? But, like in a dream, you’re only able to run in slow motion. This frustration can be a powerful source of curiosity.

Having founded and act as the Chief Innovation Officer of openfab.be for a decade, I have honed my ability to connect concepts and develop creative solutions to problems.

I believe that a balanced approach is key to unlocking our full potential as human beings, which is why I am constantly exploring both the latest tools and technologies as well as the timeless human principles of self-discovery and growth. I believe that these are the tools who can help us harness the power of a "superpumped" collective human intelligence.

But I cannot do this alone. This is why I am writing here.

I want to connect with a community of like-minded people who share my passion for finding better solutions. By sharing our ideas and organizing our efforts, we can finally take action and overcome the initial inertia of all epic quests. If you're ready to join me on this journey, let's get started together.

Si une chose mérite d’être faite, elle mérite d’être bien faite.

Master autodidact

I'm Nicolas, an European autodidact and maker. This blog is a record of my ideas, analogies and epic quests I feel are important to embark on. It's my way of sharing what I've learned and discovered along my journey, as well as to inspire and connect with others who may be itched by similar topics.

At the core of my journey,

I strive for balance between my work and personal life. My passions motivate me, and curiosity drives me. I can lose myself sometimes, but acknowledging this and keeping them in check, as well as maintaining control, are challenges that are part of my journey.

The Egregor Analogy

This document looks at the science of meditation, the power of group energy, and how group meditations can help people and the world. It talks about group meditation and how creating an "egregor" could increase the good effects of meditation, like better mental and physical health, less stress, and more happiness.

A story for context

when you look to the past for ideas and use modern tech to adapt them, you can come up with new solutions to today's problems.

Tokenizing Learning

The foundations/sponsors contributing initial funds are essentially "buying" the newly minted tokens, which then get circulated to students and eventually back to education service providers who can cash them out for fiat currency.

old about

In a world that is constantly evolving, all these technological progress, globalization, demographic shifts, and environmental changes can have an effect on people's well-being.

These are fifty shades of stress!

To stay ahead of the curve, I believe the most important thing today is to develop our capacity to learn by ourselves and our accountability in every aspect of our lives.

My 101

With ten years of experience as founder and CEO of Openfab, a fablab in Brussels, I am passionate about developing a project that aims to empower people and help them acquire essential skills and qualities.

I am now on a quest to be the best version of myself every day and am motivated to inspire others to do the same.

My META quest

https://www.humanoids.com/blog/Metabunker

Through this meta quest, I aim to create an inclusive learning experience to help people develop the essential skills that are necessary for growth and progress in today's world.

I want to offer an inclusive skill-learning experience that help people growing their critical thinking, adaptability, and responsibility. This should be like an extra bonus on top of the skill they want to learn.

This project will involves gamification and the use of artificial intelligence to provide personalized, real-time feedback and assessment, and need to be supported by tools for recognizing and verifying learning and achievements.

If it is not automated, nobody will do it.

What do I mean by essential skills?

Critical thinking and adaptability are skills that can be developed and improved through learning and practice. These skills can help individuals become more flexible in their thinking and approach to problem-solving, which can be especially important today.

Accountability is not necessarily a skill, but it is an important quality that can also be developed. It involves being able to acknowledge mistakes, accept the consequences of those mistakes.

All of these are an important part of developing resilience, as it involves taking ownership of one's mistakes and learning from them rather than avoiding or denying them. This, I believe, is the seed of much sadness and mediocrity around us.
