Dear fellow Asgardians,

How can I help advance your business in Asgardia?

I'm a serial entrepreneur with nearly 15 years experience in management consulting, technology transfer and venture capital and would like to put this experience to good use for the citizens of Asgardia.

Having worked with leading academics to launch their spin-offs based on cutting edge innovations in various domains such as blue biotech, medical devices, satellite technology, red biotech, artificial intelligence, etc., I thrive on developing high-tech enterprises and would love the opportunity to represent next generation entrepreneurs in Asgardia.

I believe the Asgardian Chambre of Commerce should offer an efficient & stimulating support to entrepreneurs who wish to set up their business under Asgardian corporate legislation, which I hope to help shape.

Let me know your expectations and ideas for doing business in Asgardia and I will leverage them to expedite a blossoming new Asgardian economy.

Your vote will help me to represent your business!

Peace and warm regards, H.

Hi there,

Welcome to my first blog. I’m completely new at this (don’t even have a Facebook account) so bear with me if I breach the blog netiquette.

A brief introduction: I’d like to think of myself as a scout, not only in the domain of science & technology (“The Sciences”), but also in the field of “The Humanities” (philosophy, psychology, sociology and economics).

More in particular, I’m interested in R&D that is able to link the “state-of-the-art” in the exact "STEM" sciences with new insights in The Humanities (aka “Liberal Arts”). After all, it’s the relation and tension between both domains that makes us "human" (Experience some of the tension on the subject in the comments posted below the article here: http://thoughtcatalog.com/skylar-grogan/2014/02/the-humanities-vs-the-sciences-who-wins-out/ )

If you look up the word “scout” on Thesaurus.com (“detective, explorer, lookout, pioneer, spotter, adventurer, guard”), you’ll understand why I do not like to limit myself to just the state-of-the-art in both domains. I prefer to anticipate future developments and venture “educated guesses”.

How well educated are my guesses? Probably not particularly better or worse than anyone else’s.

Thanks to the growing venture capital industry in continental Europe, I’ve just been extremely fortunate to have worked closely together with a number of brilliant researchers who compete with the best in their field. This includes researchers in the field of neuro-science, artificial-intelligence, satellite communication, bionics, functional food, robotics and immunology. My partnerships over the last 10 years with these researchers have allowed me to better understand the state-of-the-art in various R&D domains, making it all the more tempting to speculate about the future.

For a scientist, speculation of any sort is typically frowned upon. At the risk of academic suicide, researchers are required to base their statements on experimental proof.  Only a handful of the world’s leading scientists, the ones that supersede the mainstream academic community through prestige,  dare to share their views on the future. A nice example is Brian Greene’s freewheeling on page 306 of his 2015 hardcover publication “The Hidden Reality”, where he suggests we are living in a simulation.

Fortunately, for “laymen” or “scouts” like myself, it is much easier to speculate publically about our future.   Especially in this interesting new environment, I feel encouraged to share views on such topics and seek the opinion of an early adopter crowd, which I'm hoping to address here.

This brings me to Asgardia. A wonderful enterprise based on noble principles I can relate to. I am anxious to see how this nation will evolve and hope I can contribute based on my personal and professional experiences in the early stage venture capital industry.

I’d love to interact with fellow Asgardians to exchange experiences and views. In particular, I love pondering the bigger questions related to our multiverse and conscious being. Recently, I stumbled upon a publication that continues to resonate with me: https://www.p2p-simulation-hypothesis.com/ . If you share my intrigue into this particular hypothesis, please leave a comment.

Dear all, I had to share this with you as soon as I have heard it. This is too good to wait until the official news are released! I have just talked to my counterparts from NanoRacks about our Asgardia1 Satellite. It is currently stored in his workshop in his safe box. How cool is that to store the core of the new nation in your safe?!

There are 7 levels of security in the facility: 5 levels of locking, 24/7 video surveillance and onsite security. Our nation is in very good hands!

In the picture you see the satellite in the deployer. You will be soon hearing more about the progression of the Asgardia1 Satellite towards the launch in an upcoming series of the official news.

I would just really quick like to suggest a regional meeting to discuss and create ideas together how we as a community could contribute to the idea of Asgardia. Individual aspects and contributions to the values and ideas of Asgardia are essential, but I think to have an actual effect on the whole unity of Asgardia, community and group support is key. Which is why I recommend a personal meeting for all of us, who are interested in making a difference or being a part of the governmental body of Asgardia to share ideas, values and experience with each other. Maybe in a less formal way than usually intended to get to know each other first like a BBQ party or at a pub. Suggestions for a date and place in the comments are more than welcome. I gladly volunteer to do the planning if such a meeting would be approved by members of my fellow regional Asgardian citizens and prospects.

Control this madness before it's too late....
With the enabling of social media, constant connectivity and mobile devices, the world as become a village. That's a slogan. Everyone is only a few connections (e.g. facebook) separated from everyone else on earth. Yet we walk around as strangers (in the night), more busy with recording the surroundings on our mobile devices, but not interacting with the physical person standing next to us! Unite, one people, but do not forget to interact with your neighbors "in real life". And help "in real live". Socialize.

Dear Asgardia fellow citizens,

the future means: community. Everyone should contribute to the well-being and development of the community, wath everyone can do best. My special abilities are in the context of medicine, future, research, science, but also holistic and psychic abilities, ESP, RV and pre-cognition. You can also contact me as a coach. Connected with gobal heart coherence.

As a social judgement strategist, my first move would be to remove the actual social architecture, which is taking place in many nations, and rebuild the social building.

It's horrible to see, that so many rich people ignore the rest of the humanity and only think about theirself. This is the first thing, that I want to change. The diversity of money and human.

The next step is to build a health insurance, which treats every person in the same way (costs, medicamets, ..).  This is important, because not everyone can pay the bills and have a regular visit at the hospital

Focused on arts, education, culture, communication, minimalism. Will never wear a tie. Knowledge in Social & Computer Sciences, Art Design. An asgardian because evolution must expand into space quickly. A candidate because Asgardia is a global opportunity to replace those same old mistakes with creative new ones.

THERE Are  PEOPLE

BORN WITH NATURAL GIFTS

I AM ASKING MYSELF WHY WOULD WE HAVE A LITTLE EARTH SOCIETY WITH THE SAME RULES IN ASGARDIA?

I AM AN ARTIST WHO WAS BORN WITH A GIFT . I AM WITNESS THAT SOME PEOPLE DONT NEED AN EXTENSIVE EDUCATION TO HELP OTHERS OR TO DEVELOP A MAGNIFICENT GIFT TO HELP OTHERS . I WAS WONDERING ARE WE GOING TO HAVE AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY AS EMPATHS, ARTISTS, SENSITIVES IN ASGARDIA ? IS THE MOTIVE TO BE DIFFERENT ENOUGH TO HAVE A GREAT AND DIFFERENT HUMAN GATHERING , GOING TO BE OFFERED TO EVERYONE?

I BELIEVE  WE NEED AN OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE THE WORLD  AS WE KNOW IT AND WE NEED A FAIR CHANCE . I HAVE DEVELOPED MY CAREER ON EARTH ALONE AND IM PRETTY SUCCESFUL . IM PROOOF THAT PEOPLE BORN WITH NATURAL GIFTS ARE READY TO SHARE AND LOVE WITH ALL HUMAN KIND EQUALLY  and WITH THOSE WHO WENT TO ACADEMIA .

Good day,

My name is Patrick, I am 28 years old and live in the Netherlands. I study human resources and current development to expand my knowledge in law and order. I have a great interest in helping Asgardia to become more than it currently is and builds on the ideological idea to expand it.
