The world after, according to René Trégouët
He has been questioned regularly during the pandemic, which unfortunately does not seem to be over yet. He enlightened us on the mirage of chloroquine ( The country of April 9, 2020), on the unprecedented scientific mobilization throughout the world and the progress for medicine in general represented by messenger RNAs ( The country of May 27, 2021). We wanted to ask René Trégouët, 81, former UMP senator from the Rhône, founder of the prospective group at the Luxembourg Palace, retired to Saint-Laurent-de-Chamousset where, tireless watchman of the advances of Humanity, he runs a scientific and technological site (www.rtflash.fr), how he saw the post-Covid world. Reflections.
“In 10 years, Man will acquire as much
new knowledge
than in 200,000 years ”
“By 2031, Humanity will acquire as much new knowledge as humans have acquired since its origin, 200,000 years ago. This exponential growth will even grow even more rapidly from the years 2025-2030 with the rise of the quantum computer. Closer to home, the most obvious consequences of the pandemic will be at the level of work, of our way of doing business, of planning the territory, but also of our leisure activities. The new teleworking habits acquired thanks to new communication technologies have given birth to new desires in the minds of city dwellers who have suffered for long months in apartments without balconies, without terraces, in order to be able to take the air. These thoughts quickly turned into dreams. Knowing now that there is a serious chance that they will only have to go to their office one day a week and that during the other four working days they will stay at home or go to their teleworking space. village or their small town, more and more of them will accept, from now on, to live in the countryside, in a house with a piece of land. If all the conditions are right, many people would be willing to spend an hour and a half in the morning once a week to go to their business and another hour and a half to come back in the evening. These rural houses connected to broadband would allow these new country people to finally be able to buy the electric car of their dreams. This electric car is completely prohibited, for several years yet, to residents of apartments in town, who cannot have an electrical outlet to recharge it. Undoubtedly, contrary to what urbanites thought only a few months ago, it is now in the rural world that the inhabitants will be the happiest and will benefit from the brightest future. First of all, for security concerns. We feel more peaceful in villages and small towns. But also, because we will be able to better respect the new rules of life that the environment will impose on us. Thanks to new technologies and new educational approaches, children will be able to benefit from the best education as if they lived a few hundred meters from the Lycée du Parc in Lyon. Each of the parents will be able to have their electric car because very quickly the price of these will be lower than the price of thermal cars. The icing on the cake: everyone, in their main residence, in the countryside, will be able to produce and store their own electricity from the sun or the wind. (read above). »
The advent
of the’ gay ruralus
“Better still, in 10 years, there will be thousands of inhabitants who will produce on their small land, their own food, fish, vegetables, fruits, by practicing aquaponics, which will revolutionize the entire food chain, in no way. using no fertilizers or any other chemicals. Aquaponics will thus provide consumers with the certainty that they will participate personally and forcefully in the vast awareness of the necessary change of life imposed by climate change. At the end of the decade that is beginning, I am sure that we will finally have succeeded, in our rural homes, in producing hydrogen, the real fuel of the future, from the sun and water. If this really happens despite all the brakes that oil and gas producers will put to delay the onset of this new era that will change the future of the Earth. ”
Voyager
in virtual worlds
“But there is another major change to be expected when it comes to travel. It will be more and more difficult to explain to your friends that you have just made 42 hours of flight with an emission of 10 tons of COâ in a big quadjet for a week vacation in Bali. But there again, we are going to experience in the decade which begins a real revolution in the way we visit distant countries thanks to virtual worlds which will know better and better how to deceive our brains. So, I, who am of Breton origin, would like to live on the Pointe du Raz to experience the storms directly. In relatively short time, this will be possible, while continuing to live physically in the Rhône. With a small annual subscription, I will receive in my house, in the Monts du Lyonnais, live, 365 days a year, very high definition and relief images that will be transmitted to me by 4G or 5G. I will set aside an entire wall of the living room in my new house to reproduce, with striking realism, the images captured live at Pointe du Raz with the Ile de Sein in the distance. When a storm shakes the ocean, I will feel it live, at home, as if I were really in Brittany. ”
