Jean-Pierre Ady Fenyo is director and founder of infinty society. The original idea of infinity society was that there should be an organization whose purpose would be to make infinity a ousehold word and idea and that by doing so the world would become wise. In 1989 Fenyo met with the late, great Sci-Fi and Science author Isaac Asimov and after an almost hour-long one-on-one iscussion Isaac Asimov suggested that Fenyo should seek to make The Infinity Society a serious non-governmental organization. Asimov agreed with Fenyo that Infinity was the most important thought ever and that Fenyo's conclusion that without it the world would be doomed was correct. Inspired by this encounter Fenyo slowly began to build up his fledgling organization. In the early 90s Fenyo concentrated most of his efforts on getting companies to use the word and symbol of infinity in their corporate image (and while some companies were directly influenced by his efforts, others have since been indirectly joining the trend! See the link below.). Fenyo wrote his first philosophy book in 1994 and published his second book in 2004. During the second half of the 90s he resided in Budapest and did research at various institutions, including The Hungarian Academy of Sciences, ELTE (Sciences University of Budapest) and The Central European University. The Infinity Society, which unfortunately is still heavily dependent on Fenyo's personality and efforts (not something Fenyo prefers), is now beginning to transform itself from its embryonic state to a full-fledged NGO with the potential for being a highly visible and influential not-for-profit entity. Most of the society's members are professional academics and auto-didactic intellectuals, many of whom prefer to remain anonymous, mostly out of a concern for their status at their respective institutions of higher learning.
THE INFINITY SOCIETY's long-term goal is; 1. To make it possible for the erecting and posting of large, visually enticing and
interesting (thought-provoking) bill-boards and posters around and
over major city plazas, commuter centres, and other popular public areas which will pose deep, basic, universal philosophical questions (such a: What is the meaning of your life and existence?, Why are we here?, Is the universe Infinite?, Have you thought about infinity today?, Are you really free and living true to your true self?, What happens to us when we die?, Is there existence beyond biological death?, If God exists would he allow us to be deceived? Is it good for religion to be directly involved in the affairs of government and society and vice versa? Is it not better to prevent unwanted pregnancies by allowing women to have more education and control over their reproductive lives?, Are you aware of your Constitutional rights and obligations?, Have you thought about your connection to our natural environments and how those environments are being harmed? Is it not best to respect the right of others to do as they please so long as what they do does not disrespect your right?, Should we live by the rule that says do unto others what they want done on to them or do nothing unto them at all, or should we force others to live as we do?, Is your government truly doing the best it can to protect your rights as a consumer from companies whose products may actually be more harmful than good?, etc....); 2 . That there will be educational announcements on TV and radio, and educational messages in newspapers and magazines that will pose these same deep, universal philosophical questions; 3. That institutions of higher learning will receive tax-deductible incentives if they provide the general public opportunities to engage in philosophical discussions, debates and lectures; 4. That High-Schools include a basic philosophy class in which Infinity (Infinitology ) is a major book chapter for study, discussion and debate; 5. That private corporations and companies prove their serious respect and concern for the welfare of society and the environments by producing quality products and services that are made possible with the least risk of harm to their employees, to the environment and society, 6. That governments develop and implement better ways to guarantee the rights of citizens, 7. That governments and the private sector do nothing to prevent the right of citizens to engage in public philosophical discourse and debate.
