Nikolas Badminton is a British-Canadian biohacker[1], researcher[2], and futurologist. His research is primarily focused on the topics of human computer interaction and corporate foresight. He's shared predictions on the future state of humanity as it relates to medicine[3], food[4], renewable energy[5], air travel[6], immortality[7], and the future of work after COVID-19[8].
Badminton's 2016 research on the future of work found that a quarter of Canadian Adults believe a computer program would be more trustworthy and ethical than their boss[9].
In 2018, Nikolas appeared as the guinea pig in Smart Drugs[10], a documentary released in May 2019 created by Toronto filmmaker Ann Shin. During the filming he spent 5 months experimenting with nootropics, and other biohacking techniques including the Wim Hof Method and fasting, to explore their relative impact on his cognitive function and work performance[11].
Badminton was a consultant to the scriptwriters and producers on the Robert Downey Jr. 2019 documentary The Age of A.I.[12], an 8-part documentary web series that explored the application of Artificial Intelligence.
In early 2020 Badminton's study into the future of life in America[2] showed found that younger Americans were reporting significantly higher rates of life stress, were also more likely to report significantly higher rates of loneliness and insecurity, and were more likely to have experienced mental health problems. 'Digital Obesity' was a contributing factor with the average American reported spending a total of 5 hours a day on social media, apps, and online platforms, and those aged 16 to 29 reportedly spending 8.5 hours a day. He also ran the same study in Canada[13].
