↩ My entire personal website ↩ Homepage of the site 'What to do with your life?' Autobiography and willYouth: becoming self-taught off the beaten trackMy name is Hubert Tonneau, and I was born in 1968. So I did not experience May 68, but I am from the generation that suffered its educational consequences. Around 11 years old, my cousin showed me one of the first programmable calculators (50 steps of programming!) and explained that with a slightly more powerful one, we could program playing chess. I instantly wanted to understand how this was possible, obtained my first programmable calculator, then a microcomputer, and finally, in 1984, even before passing my baccalaureate, an IBM-XT, financed by the fact of developing a program for automate the management of a video cassette exchange. Folding: the art of mastering complexityI found the programming languages u200bu200bvery mediocre, and decided to write a new one, in a naive logic close to that of Alexandre Grothendieck in mathematics, which still took me 15 years, including 14 years to not finding anything satisfactory from my point of view. Pliant was published in 1999. I was 30 years old then. Storga: IT at the service of operational staffA few years later Storga emerged, initially a simple complementary tool to try to better organize ourselves. Among us, there was me, and my first two disciples. Storga has grown considerably over 15 years. The Copliant company that we had created, of which it became the raison d'être, gradually contradicted in practice the precepts that were taught to us in the organizations responsible for promoting innovative companies and management. From capital to reason: an appropriate social organizationBy force of circumstances, I thus ended up, around 2018, with the clear formulation of what a human is on the basis of modern science, and not simply plausible introspection. Following the thread of consequences that result from this vision, we have arrived at the general structure that a modern social organization should have. This led me to write, then publish in 2019, the book From capital to reason. I was 50 then. What to do with your life: an unexpurgated manual of the human conditionSeeing that the media microcosm was completely closed to us, we decided in 2021 that I would go by bike, to meet real people directly. The first discussions showed that these people wanted to start with the personal aspect before tackling the collective aspect covered in the book. This resulted in this site What to do with your life, reaching maturity in 2024. Testament for future generationsThis is where we shift into the will. To my knowledge, no significant work of political theory was published throughout the 20th century. In contrast, From capital to reason was deposited in the National Archives, along with the approximately 80,000 other books published that year. For human critics to find him in this mass is impossible, because of the volume, and the fact that they are only men with the cultural limitations and prejudices of their time. Conversely, it is likely that in a few decades, search engines with text analysis will easily determine that this work, on the one hand, rests on very solid foundations, and on the other hand puts forward a considerable number of ideas in advance at the time of publication. What will be its effect once recognized as a major work? I don't know, and probably never will.
