I was born in the year of grace 1969 in the highlands of Languedoc, and I'm still alive. For about 40 years, I've fought the forces of darkness, ignorance and misinformation. My life is a struggle, a romance, a quest... More traditionally speaking, I've been working as a computer software engineer in the domain of Computer & Telephony Integration for the last 14 years. More recently, I've co-founded the neurohackers group with a British neuroscientist named Alex Ramonsky, and some other dudes - mixing artists, scientists, writers, explorers, etc., our primary goal being using and developing Intelligence Augmentation methods, techniques and behaviors in the objective of optimal mental and physical health. Our site (neurohackers.com) is open since June 2010. On another hand (don't worry I've only got two of them), I'm writing, composing and interpreting songs, a bit of rock, a bit of blues, a bit of folk, and soon enough, a bit of soul too. In 2008, I released my "100% Home Blend" debut album which was timely entitled "COMP~Position"* as a puny allegorical & poetic answer to Alex Ramonsky's book "I've Changed My Mind"**, where the "COMP" (mental) process was coined and thoroughly described. If his book represented for me the beginning of what very much looks like the "ultimate journey of my life", cause at last my inner intuitive insights were suddenly scientifically confirmed - and I could serenely choose to go all the way through by "dancing on the ridge" - my presence among you here is a part of this journey. And something tells me, it only gets better as it goes... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Listen here: http://www.neurohackers.com/index.php/en/menu-left-workshop/menu-left-ws-cp/174-art-ws-cp-listen (Nowadays, I'm working on a second opus though I still got a lot of work ahead...) **: ICMM - Source: ISBN 0-9548344-0-2; http://www.neurohackers.com/index.php/en/menu-left-workshop/75-cat-ws-icmm

Everything about mind, spirit, and their substrates (biological or not). Music, rock in particular. Space exploration, harnessing & "urbanization". Computing, of course, since the ZX Sinclair...

Well, the main one which comes to my mind right now, is to get our planet back. And I mean, not a single square meter on Earth is actually, solely and purely "earther"; it always belongs to someone or some Nation(s). Antartica would be the closest thing to fit the character, but it's only an "international" territory (and yet, not everywhere if I got it well...). And it's pretty cold a place to live... So, maybe the best way to express this idea would be as a question, something like: "Which Nation would stand up first and bravely give back a part of its territory to our beloved planet Earth?"

Funnily enough, I'd say translations... :) When I'm translating something, I feel like I'm home. And I'm glad to be able to put that "natural" ability to fruition here on TED. Such a brilliant place!
