What Happened in Ibiza: How Humans.Team Became FreeWillWave (For Now)

60-Day Programme — Day 25~13 min read

I went to Ibiza with a very clear intention: to launch Humans.Team. In my mind, everything was there. The project, the vision, the tools, the services, the energy, the community, the possibilities. Humans.Team was meant to become a fabulous space on the Internet, a place to gather free people, people who want to transform themselves, take care of themselves, find their peace, their joy, their inner freedom. I wanted to bring together everything I had understood over the years. Events. Competitions. Classifieds. Discovery tools. Spaces to think about oneself. Concrete means to detach from what no longer suits us. Useful, human, direct services. And most importantly, a central idea: to help each person reconnect with their own power to choose. But in Ibiza, I understood something. I understood that I had gotten carried away. Not because Humans.Team is a bad idea. Quite the opposite. Humans.Team might be too rich, too vast, too complete. It's an immense project, nourished by years of reflection, work, research, texts, books, concepts, visions, and experiences. With the arrival of artificial intelligence, I felt like a door suddenly opened before me. As if everything I had accumulated over the years could finally be gathered in a single project. For an analyst-programmer, artificial intelligence is a magic wand. It doesn't replace creativity. It doesn't replace vision. It doesn't replace humanity. But it accelerates development time in an almost incredible way. I felt a lot of gratitude for that. I even had this very intimate, very strong impression that my creator gently tapped me on the shoulder, as if to say: "There. Now you have the tool. Keep going." And yet, despite that gratitude, despite that energy, despite that feeling of renewal, Ibiza wasn't a vacation in the usual sense. I was caring for my dad. He's 88 years old. I didn't even really get a chance to set foot in the water or enjoy the beach. But the vibration of Ibiza was there. Something in the air. Something in the light. Something in being there, at that moment, with that intention. I felt that this journey carried renewal. I thought that renewal would be the launch of Humans.Team. But over the days, a truth imposed itself: Humans.Team, as it was conceived, interests no one at the start. Not because the project is useless. Not because it lacks meaning. But because it's too big. Nobody's going to post a classified ad on a site with ten people. Nobody's going to build a community in a space that doesn't yet have momentum. Nobody's going to massively use collective services as long as the collective doesn't yet exist. So I came back to the basic question. Why am I doing all this? What have I discovered that's so important that I feel the need to put it into the world? The answer came back with obvious force: the energy of the group. That's what I found in my work. That's what I wrote in my books. This is the understanding on which I built everything else. Not the group as an authority. Not the group as a structure that crushes the individual. Not the group as a cold machine that decides for humans. But the energy that appears when free humans recognize each other, gather together, respect each other, and move in the same direction, without domination, without judgment, without obligation. So I decided to suspend Humans.Team in its initial form. I decided to go back to basics. And these basics are simple: you, human being, do you want to be free? Going back to the human, here and now What I understood is that humanity is not an abstract mass. Humanity is humans. Human beings who are born, who live, who doubt, who love, who suffer, who hope, who die, then others are born in turn. It's not a block. It's not a machine. It's not a cold concept. It's personal. Everything always comes down to here and now. Me, here and now, I am a human being. You, here and now, you are a human being. And in this precise instant, each of us can decide something for ourselves. I can look around me. I can listen to what I'm feeling. I can perceive my environment. I can choose based on my actual situation. If I'm near a coffee maker, I can decide to make myself a coffee. If I'm swimming in the sea, that same decision makes no sense. Every moment is different. Every environment is different. Every need is different. Every human being is different at every instant. That's why it's dangerous to give someone else the power to decide for us. The other is not me. They're not where I am. They don't feel what I feel. They don't always know my real needs. They don't carry my dreams. They don't live my present. And especially, they often have their own interests, their own constraints, their own objectives. Once I give someone else permission to decide for me without questioning, without feeling, without checking, I put myself in danger. Not necessarily because that person is bad. But because they are not me. The group has no soul As soon as two or more people gather, a group appears. And very quickly, that group can become more important than the individuals who compose it. That's where the danger begins. A group is not a living being. A group has no soul. A group has no consciousness. A group doesn't know that I exist. A company can cut down trees to make furniture. It can have objectives, figures, needs, strategies. But the company itself doesn't feel the tree. It doesn't feel the oxygen. It doesn't feel the human who breathes. Someone will say: yes, but there are leaders, managers, executives. That's true. But the leaders of a group work first and foremost for the group to continue, grow, function, survive, win, or develop. A president speaks of his country. A company speaks of its results. An organization speaks of its objectives. An institution speaks of its rules. But rarely does someone speak of you, personally, by name, in your present moment. And that's what brought me back to basics. The human is alive. The group is a concept. The group can be useful. The group can help. The group can build. But as soon as it starts to dominate the human, something overturns. The real question So the question is not: "Is the human being free?" The real question is much more direct, much more personal, much more disturbing too: You, human being, do you desire to be free? Or do you desire to be dominated? This question exists everywhere in nature. There are relationships of domination. There are the dominant. There are the dominated. But a dominated being can sometimes turn against the dominant. They can also do something simpler, deeper, more peaceful: turn their back and walk away. Stop nourishing this relationship. Stop giving their energy. Stop offering their present. Take back their moment. And use that moment for themselves, for their peace, for their happiness, for their life. That's where FreeWillWave.com was born. Not as a revolt. Not as a war. Not as a criticism of the world. Not as a fight against anyone. FreeWillWave.com was born as a question. A simple question, posed to every human being: Who wants to be free? From Humans.Team to FreeWillWave.com Ibiza forced me to simplify. I wanted to launch a large platform. I understood that I first needed to launch a great question. Before offering services, tools, spaces, classifieds, events, or competitions, we need to know who really wants to participate in a space founded on freedom, respect, non-domination, and happiness. If we are ten, that's one thing. If we are ten thousand, that's another thing. If we are one hundred thousand, a million, ten million, or one hundred million, then everything changes. This is not a revolution beginning. This is an awakening. A way of saying: we are here. We want to be free. We accept that others be free. We want to create another space, a space that respects every human being. Then, only then, will Humans.Team become useful. FreeWillWave.com thus becomes the first wave. The initial question. The signal. The gathering. The dates, the symbols, the tributes In this project, dates have taken on an important place. The official launch is planned for June 21, the summer solstice. It's also my mother's birthday, who left us twenty years ago. For me, it's not a detail. It's a tribute. To my mother. To my father. To my ancestors. To those to whom I want to dedicate my work. There are also other symbolic dates in this construction. July 4, obviously linked to the idea of freedom in American imagination. July 14, the planned start date for the Fibonacci sequence, a new moon day. And the end of this experience, planned for August 28, a full moon day. The symbolism is powerful. The sequence begins in shadow, at the new moon. It ends in light, at the full moon. There is an image in this that touches me deeply: a wave that is born in the invisible, then grows until it becomes visible. The wave and the number The site's concept is simple: allow as many people as possible to sign up to answer the question of freedom. Each person who joins FreeWillWave.com receives a number. This number represents their order of entry into the wave. There's something very powerful in this idea. It's not just a registration. It's a trace. A place. A moment. "I was there." "I answered." "I chose." "I joined the wave." The site will also allow tracking the movement's evolution, countries reached, rankings, invitations, contributions, backlinks, support, badges. Because if we're going to do something important, we might as well add some play, joy, pride to it. We'll be able to see the wave grow. We'll be able to see our country light up. We might be the first person to open the wave in a country. We can receive badges linked to our participation, our help, our commitment. Not badges to flatter the ego. Badges as traces of participation in something beautiful: a movement of respect, non-judgment, freedom, and mutual aid. Why Fibonacci? To energize this search for humans, I decided to add to the standard registration a mathematical system inspired by the Fibonacci sequence. The sequence is simple: 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 Each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. What struck me was the propagation power of this sequence if associated with days and humans. Theoretically, if each sequence corresponds to a day, and if each number represents people to contact, then we can reach an immense number of humans in less than two months. Of course, in reality, it won't be perfect. I don't know how many humans can realistically be contacted. I don't know how many will have access to the Internet. I don't know how many will understand the question. I don't know how many will want to answer. But the advantage of this method lies elsewhere. It asks for little effort from each person. In theory, one person invites someone to continue the wave. Then they invite someone else for the next day. Two invitations. Two days. Then they can watch the wave grow. They can continue to help if they wish. Or simply observe the impact of that small gesture. And that small gesture can become immense. That's what touches me in this idea: individual effort remains human, simple, accessible. But the collective effect can become gigantic. And if someone finds no one? The question is obvious: what happens if a person finds no one to invite? The wave shouldn't collapse because of it. That's why there's a reserve. People already signed up, those who have already helped, those who have invited, supported, funded, or created links to the site, can be chosen to fill missing spots in the Fibonacci sequence. So it's not just a propagation system. It's also a way to recognize those who have already contributed. Those who invite. Those who support financially. Those who write. Those who share. Those who create backlinks. Those who give their energy to advance the wave. The regular wave and the Fibonacci wave complement each other. One gathers widely. The other propagates powerfully. The image of Ibiza I haven't told enough about Ibiza. Maybe it's because I didn't really experience Ibiza as a vacation. But there's an image I want to keep. My favorite place there. The place from which I mentally launched the wave. What's funny, almost symbolic, is that even though the idea of a wave already existed in me, when I went to place that intention on that beach, there was a flag with a wave on it. I don't want to make it proof of anything. I don't want to invent a magical story. I'm simply telling the truth: it was there, and it touched me. In this project, many symbols have aligned. The solstice. My mother's birthday. The new moon. The full moon. The Fibonacci sequence. The wave. Ibiza. Renewal. Tribute. Freedom. None of this replaces the work. None of this replaces the decisions. None of this replaces the hours spent building, simplifying, writing, modifying, starting over. But it adds depth. A presence. A sense that this project is not just a website. It's a human story. A week later A week after this trip, after a lot of work during what was supposed to be a vacation, here I am. With FreeWillWave.com. A global movement that doesn't pretend to save people in their place. A movement that doesn't ask you to fight. A movement that doesn't ask you to criticize. A movement that doesn't ask to remove anyone's rights. It simply asks a question. Who wants to be free? And behind this question, there's another, even more intimate one: What do I do with my present moment? Do I give it to groups that don't see me? Do I sell it entirely for a possible future? Do I let it be directed by people who don't live my life? Or do I take it back to care for my peace, my happiness, my freedom? FreeWillWave.com is not an end. It's a beginning. It might even be the necessary beginning before Humans.Team. Before building a space for free humans, we must first ask them the question. Before offering tools, we must recognize the choice. Before building a community, we must hear the voices. Before speaking of the world, we must return to the human. One human. Here. Now. Free to answer. And today, it's up to you. Not to blindly follow. Not to obey. Not to believe without thinking. But to look within yourself and answer honestly. Do you want to be free? Do you want to respect others' freedom? Do you want to participate in a wave that destroys nothing, but simply recognizes the original rights of every human being? If the answer is yes, then the wave begins. And like all waves, it begins with a first movement.
