Functional Patterns was founded in 2009 by Naudi Aguilar. It takes an inter-disciplinary approach to training, producing the highest quality results worldwide across an entire range of humans, from chronic pain to elite athletics. They are revolutionizing the fitness industry as we know it, transforming one human at a time.
The Venus Project is a nonprofit organization founded by architect and social engineer Jacque Fresco and Roxanne Meadows. The project offers a systems approach to intelligently manage earth’s resources for all inhabitants, human and otherwise.
The Consilience Project publishes novel research at the leading edges of global risk mitigation, governance design and culture. They outline how our social systems and institutions need to be redesigned if free, open, non-authoritarian societies are to survive.
Founded in 2012, Brilliant.org offers 100+ guided, interactive courses on math & science. They help you master important concepts by solving fun, challenging problems on everything from logical reasoning to artificial neural networks; geometry to calculus.
From the founder, “In 2014, Elon Musk asked me to start an experimental school with him at SpaceX. The goal was to develop students who are enthralled by complexity and solving for the unknown. Synthesis offers the most innovative learning experiences from that school.” This online school is designed to cultivate student voice, strategic thinking, and collaborative problem-solving.
Behind the human vision system is a fascinating mechanism involving physics, biology and neurological processes. WaveForm Lighting produces high quality lighting that mitigates the often disrupting effects found in cheap lighting applications such as flicker, poor CRI, and mismatched kelvin scales.
GLOBAÏA shares an urgent and comprehensive education with captivating visuals targeted at global awareness. Based on an attitude of planetary stewardship, they aim to facilitate an understanding and appreciation for our planet's finite, rare, and fragile biosphere.
Most shoes today create a dysfunctional environment for the feet through narrow toe boxes, thick soles, and a rigid structure, resulting in a host of problems. VivoBarefoot have designed quality shoes to be wide, thin, and flexible; as close to barefoot as possible while still offering the right amount of protection.
Since the advent of rubber soled shoes, we have insulated ourselves from the Earth’s electric charge, preventing us from grounding. EarthRunners have designed a sandal with a copper ground embedded in the sole allowing you to stay grounded, with all the constraints of functional footwear in mind.
It was only a brief moment ago in our evolutionary history (late 19th century) were we able to light up the night and disrupt our circadian rhythms, significantly increasing our risk to chronic health disorders. Block Blue Light is dedicated to producing lighting products that can manage this problem through blue-free lighting, blue-blocking glasses, and more, allowing you to see what is necessary in the night without disturbing your circadian biology.
Computers today are insufficient in their abilities to modulate the lighting settings and reduce flicker. Iris is a downloadable software for any OS that will allow you to control the settings more completely to match the Kelvin scale and blue light levels to your natural environment, keeping your biology protected.
