An Altruistic Business, an institute, a museum of the future as we design it and a new home for the transhuman house… all of this is the part of the following ‘business’ plan.
One of our most exciting projects is for the Foundation Retreat (different than the Foundations Retreat they had recently at the Transhuman House) which would include a new version of the transhuman house. We did a VC Style pitch deck to explain the idea to the Foundation membership and to some people working on similar projects but wanted to share this idea with others. When we have enough funding we plan on creating this or executing on this one way or the other.
If you’re really interested in this project ping us at pieseczek@hotmail.com
Our Vision: Guarding the Future for Humanity
The purpose of the Foundation Retreat is to educate, sustain and help progress humanity through providing a place for learning about and acquiring sustainable technology and protecting our future.
Like the Transhuman House, it’s a museum of the future and a tool to education and a retail outlet to make that future technology available to others. It aligns with the saying that the future is here just not evenly distributed.

Thank you and Summary
The fall of Empire, gentlemen, is a massive thing, however, and not easily fought. It is dictated by a rising bureaucracy, a receding initiative, a freezing of caste, a damming of curiosity—a hundred other factors. It has been going on, as I have said, for centuries, and it is too majestic and massive a movement to stop. ~ Isaac Asimov, Foundation
