About Aragorn Meulendijks
Written by Aragorn with Claude 3 Opus (Ai)
Aragorn Meulendijks is a self-described Future-Historian who takes a unique approach to futurism by analyzing historical trends in technology and its impact on humanity, and extrapolating those trends into the future. His particular focus is on technology, specifically artificial intelligence, the metaverse, and our journey towards a technological singularity.
Aragorn sees technology as a force of nature that is starting to develop itself in a way that is almost beyond human control. His work aims to build an image of what the future might look like if current technological trends continue on their exponential trajectory.
As a Future-Historian, Aragorn’s insights are grounded in a deep study of history and trend analysis, rather than just focusing on the latest developments. He believes we are entering the most dangerous yet exciting period in human history, where the extent of technological change over the next decade will surpass the past century, if not the past 10,000 years of human history.
Aragorn advocates that inaction is not an option – individuals and businesses must start preparing today for the disruptive tsunami of technological change that is rapidly approaching. He encourages people to stay informed, adopt new tools, and let their imaginations dream up how to harness emerging technologies.
With a diverse background spanning fields like history and neuroscience, Aragorn is a knowledgeable autodidact always up-to-date on the latest in tech and science. He aims to simplify complex technological concepts to empower people and organizations to innovate and excel.
Aragorn foresees an imminent fusion of human and artificial intelligence that will allow us to transcend our current limitations. He views AI, VR/AR, and the metaverse as stepping stones towards a technological singularity that will completely reshape life as we know it. His purpose is to chart this unexplored future and guide humanity to proactively shape it.
In this mission, Aragorn draws inspiration from visionary giants who came before him. He looks up to Carl Sagan for his ability to make complex scientific concepts accessible to the masses, Arthur C. Clarke for his prescient imagination of future technologies, Jules Verne for his pioneering science fiction that sparked technological innovation, and Iain M. Banks for his thought-provoking depictions of advanced spacefaring civilizations. Aragorn sees these figures as beacons lighting the way for humanity, and he humbly aspires to carry their torch forward.
As a passionate communicator, Aragorn delivers keynotes, masterclasses, and online courses to provide both inspiration and practical knowledge on leveraging emerging technologies. He enables leaders to navigate this rapidly evolving landscape and stay ahead of the curve. Through his work, Aragorn aims to awaken people to the astonishing potential of our future while empowering them to actively participate in its creation. He invites everyone to dream bigger and embrace the awe-inspiring possibilities that lie ahead.
Aragorn Meulendijks is a visionary thinker connecting the dots between the past, present and future of technology. His thought-provoking ideas challenge us to expand our understanding of what’s possible and prepare for a radically transformed world. By shining a light on our trajectory, he strives to ensure humanity proactively shapes its own future rather than simply reacting to the relentless pace of change. Aragorn’s ultimate goal is to help steer civilization towards a more prosperous, meaningful and wondrous tomorrow.
Technology was invented by humanity, but humanity’s future is shaped by technology. – Aragorn Meulendijks

"His enthusiasm in all the work he carries out is excellent and the results first class. Wayne has the ability to command people’s attention weather he is presenting his Radio show or running a club night.
Having worked alongside the biggest names in the nightclub industry, (Pete Tong, Paul Oakenfold in nightclub land to Personal appearances by the like of Calum Best and Girls Aloud) Wayne has always stood out in terms of his effort and likeability factor.
What always surprised me with Wayne is when he is booked for any event he will turn up well in advance of the start time to make sure that he is fully aware of what is required from him and never walks through the door with the gig a couple of min utes from starting. He would also hang around and personally speak to his audience.
You can be sure in booking Wayne that you will get value for money and a presenter who will get results no matter what he is doing."
