ABSTRACT

Is the future a function of the present or is the

present a function of the future? What do present and

future mean in practicality regarding business,

profession, education, politics, society, markets, as

well as in regards to emerging science and technology?

Why is this FUTURE different to others?

In illustrating the PRESENT and the FUTURE, What rolls

are they respectively impersonating to gain us further

insight? This is a strong-sense and critico-creative

discernment to understanding the ever-challenging

nature and anatomy of change in every facet of Human

Life!

In order to understand time progression and its beyond

geometrical non-linear quality, Can we establish

accurate parallelisms with metaphoric and not so

metaphoric terms to better enlighten our minds? Why do

we humans, marshaling such a massive technological


3/50

progression, readily wish to subject our existence to

retrogression?

In the final analysis, the FUTURE is not for the

fainthearted. Be it known that the scale of the FUTURES

is impossible to overstate.

In instituting best analyzes and countering theDOWNSIDES and leveraging the UPSIDES, the optimum

analyzes are those industriously pondered: 1)pre facto

(before the facts), 2) a priori (never a posteriori),

and 3)pre-mortem (neverpost-mortem).

Back in 1985, as I was starting to manage large

petroleum risks (refinery, installations, wells,

maritime fleets) including the immense risks of oil

refinery number one and oil refinery number three as

per worldwide standards, I started asking myself how I

could foresee some of that potential disruption

(clearly, early and for future cases). At that moment,and for some strange reason, someone started speaking

to me about Alvin Tofflers and his game-changing book

Future Shock first published in the 1970s. [25]

From there on having read the book carefully, I

became extremely interested about the rate of change,

seeing change engendering opportunities and chaos at

once and forever. To a great extent and since them, Istarted a space age race to understand the maximum

about it.

When my father gave me his private library, I found a

book that he never mentioned to me and which he read in

1957, way before my coming into existence, titled El

Desenlace Del Drama Mundial (in Spanish, The Final

Outcome of World Drama) authored by Dr. Fernando

Chaij in 1956. It was a textbook with the rigor and

strategic end and theme of a book in the tradition of

George Orwell, though it was fully based on fact and

concern, never driven by the science-fiction genre.

So many years later I came to a great understanding. My

maternal grandmother was really a busy lady, not only

in making her home and being entrepreneurial, but my

mother not fully aware of the subtle scope of my

profession one day told me, your grandmother was a

futurologist. She worked on understanding how and when

things were supposed to unfold. And my father would

always tell of us, besides of amplifying thorough

education and mind shaping our personalities, try to

foresee every problem so that you can fix them inadvance.

Fortunately I am not a prognosticator but I do practice

zillion FUTURES. For a client or for a serious


5/50

subject matter of mine, I will be eliciting the driving

forces that will impact positively and negatively, as

well the action plans to exploit every UPSIDE out of

every DOWNSIDE. In the mean time, there is an Arabadage to share with you: That who foretells the truth

lies even if he is telling the truth.

By extreme systematically and systemically cognition, I

see trends, their intertwining, their superposing,

their interrelationship, and their possibilities.

The scientific and technological progression, driven by

the convergence of many visionary industries and the

marketability of the stemming technologies globally,

has brought an unprecedented level of scientific

knowledge at a growing rate beyond geometrically

exponential progression.

Medical advancements and breakthroughs not only hold

the promise of prolonging life while holding it with

great health and stamina, but it is entertaining the

idea of human lives prevailing for up to one thousand

years while some, like Dr. Ray Kurzweil and Dr. Terry

Grossman [26], [27], speak habitually of conquering

immortality.

In speaking to your intellect, as your intellect and

mine dialogue, I will appeal to very legitimate

narrative resources to offer you an accurate insight

and perspective of how the scientific properties of


6/50

change are changing and how changed changes are

beginning to change it all beyond the wildest dreams

and nightmares. In due time, you will realize that this

is a well-meant calling and that rigor is sine qua nonto the undersigned.

ARTICLES INTRODUCTORY QUOTATIONS BY ENLIGHTENED MINDS

Sir Francis Bacon: He that will not apply new remedies

must expect new evils, for time is the greatest

innovator.[2]

Albert Einstein: It has become appallingly obvious

that our technology has exceeded our humanity We

shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if

mankind is to survive.[4]

Richard Buckminster Fuller reminds us of the following:

Either war is obsolete, or men are.[5]

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche: "Its our future that lays

down the law of our today." [6]

Theodore Roosevelt: "All the resources we need are in

the mind." [7]

Ralph Waldo Emerson writes: Man hopes; Genius

creates.[8]

Dr. Malcolm Knowles: The greatest danger for the

survival of the present civilization is neither atomic

war, nor environmental pollution, nor the exploitation

of natural resources, and nor present crises. The

underlying cause to all of the above is the

acceleration of mans obsolescence The only hope

seems to be an electroshock program to re-instill to

the current adults the competencies required to

function adequately under a mode of perpetual change.

This is a profound need the immeasurable challenge

that is presented by the modern society to adult

educator.

Dr. Burrhus Frederic Skinner, Education is what

survives when what has been learned has been

forgotten.[9]

Albert Einstein: "A problem can never be resolved at

the same level of knowledge that was created." [10]

Thomas Jefferson: I prefer the stories of the future

than history. [11]

Dr. Henry Kissinger addresses: "An ignored issue is an

invitation to a problem." [12]


8/50

Sir Winston Churchill: "The empires of the future are

the empires of the mind." [13]

Antonio Machado: The eye is not an eye because you see

it. The eye is the eye because it sees you.[14]

The Panchatantra (body of Eastern philosophical

knowledge): Knowledge is the true organ of sight, not

the eyes.[15]

Bernard d'Espagnat: "Even if the Universe is a little

myopic is true that, more than others, MEN OF SCIENCE

ARE ITS EYES." [16]

Peter Drucker: Things that have already happened butwhose consequences have not been realized [because they

were not imagined, considered, or envisioned by

disciplined foresight and far-sight extending and

expanding both sides of the human brain] Dont

confuse movement with progress. [17]

Dr. James D. Watson, Ph.D.: "Science gives society agreat sense of decisive freedom." [18]

Arthur C. Clarke: We have to abandon the idea that

schooling is something restricted to youth. How can it


9/50

be, in a world where half the things a man knows at 20

are no longer true at 40 and half of the things he

knows at 40 hadnt been discovered when he was 20?

[19]

Otto Herman Khan: Clearly, the first task is to gain

acceptance of a more reasonable view of the future, one

that opens possibilities rather than forecloses them.

[20]

General Francisco de Miranda: Time is the context by

means of which action is delivered.[21]

Oscar Wilde: "To expect the unexpected shows a

thoroughly modern intellect."

Ella Wheeler Wilcox: "There is no chance, no destiny,

no fate that can circumvent, hinder or control the firm

resolve of a determined soul."

AN U.S. AIR FORCE COLONEL WHO REPEATED IT FREQUENTLY:

"It's better to remain silent and be thought a fool

that open your mouth and remove any doubt."

WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW? HOW MANY NOWS ARE THERE?

Swift and swirling change, peril, complexity, and

newness do not function alone. They are deeply inter-


10/50

10

meshed, interactive, and transforming, as well as

transformational.

You can open up new doors for yourself, see new

options, minimize significant mistakes, and maximize

potential understandings. In order for you to act

decisively successful, youd better have a lucid

comprehension of said understanding for Life. A lucid

comprehension will come to you by the greatest tough

and subtle application of the scientific method,

especially through exact sciences.

Because of the forces exerted by the FUTURE upon the

PRESENT, this Era streams rising ambiguity,

ambivalence, dichotomy, uncertainty, complexity,

conflict and yet unprecedented possibilities. Its

greatly convenient the luminescent thought by the

prominent German philosopher, Friedrich Wilhelm

Nietzsche "Its our future that lays down the law of

our today."

But anyone who underestimates the revolutionary

character of todays changes is living a too-

uncontrolled an illusion. Zen Buddhists will offer you

an unprecedented lecture on reality being the greatest

mental fabrication by the hominid's mind. The world

is being transformed dramatically and irrevocably,

second by second all of the time.


11/50

Juxtapositions of many knowledge dominions will bring

about the greatest scientific convergence ever in the

years ahead. Some people like James Canton call

suggests the forces of weird science in every sphere

in our lives. [22]

With each passing day, change quickens everyday at a

faster-and-faster, nonlinear, discontinuous and

counter-intuitive rate. In the mean time, Evelyn

Lindner reminds us of the following: Pessimism is aluxury of good times In difficult times, pessimism is

a self-fulfilling, self-inflicted death sentence.

ARTICLE

To further set the stage for this material, thetextbook Einstein in the Boardroom by Suzanne S.

Harrison and Patrick H. Sullivan Sr. may offer some

lucid ideas of the current state of affairs when they

claim: Humans have been adding to their total

knowledge steadily over the centuries, and the amount

of knowledge we create is multiplying at an incredible

rate. Beginning with the amount of knowledge in the

known world at the time of Christ, studies have

estimated that the first doubling of that knowledge

took place about 1700 A.D.. The second doubling

occurred around the year 1900. It is estimated today

that the world's knowledge base will double again by

2010 and again after that by 2013.[37]


12/50

12

There are many serious publications, around 2003

through 2007, speaking of the entirety of scientific

knowledge doubling every five (5) years. How can one

undertake such a gargantuan challenge, through the

Society of Knowledge, unless it is through the

stewardship of the scientific method?

The PRESENT resolutely insists on trashing itself with

an overload of obsoledge (obsolete knowledge)[23].

But the erudite, shrewd, pre-cog FUTURE knowing thedecisively better best stays safe and certain that

what worked best wont for the PRESENT besieged by

mundane miseries, those miseries propelled by the

unkindest humankind without a fail. THE FUTURE IS ALSO

AND ABOVE ALL BESIEGED, BUT BESIEGED OF AND BY

BREAKTHROUGHS IN PERPETUITY AND PERPETUALLY IN FLUIDITY

RADIANTLY AND IRRADIANTLY.

If you must insist, you can study the melancholic PAST

as a distorted prologue primer to the PRESENT.

Nevertheless, not even the loftiest accumulation of all

the suboptimal PASTS added to the PRESENT are nothing

but an infinitesimal, ineffectual, inconsequential,

immaterial, and impious script to the FUTURE. PAST and

PRESENT are a bunch of empty, hallow iotas.

Said script, Im not apologetic to state, since I did

not birth this Universe, wont get you to your own

FUTUREs UPSIDES, but might make you institute an

emergency landing upon your own existential disruption


13/50

13

unless you pay great attention and act upon it

urgently. Got to get beyond cross-pollinated

sophistication.

In the ultimate scrutiny, you must conceive, design,

develop, implement, sustain, update, adapt, re-adapt,

and re-invent you and your own FUTURES, FUTURE by

FUTURE for Life, a Life that will equate to

immortality.

Unless, in exercising your most conscientious freewill,

you wish to be enslaved by a robot that is: omniscient,

as well as self-upgrading, self-enhancing, self-

replicating, self-fixing, self-energized, self-

renewing, self-reinventing, self-aware, self-ruling,

self-transporting, self-commuting (by ground, air,

water, outer space, tele-transportation, etc.), and in

possession of many other selfs that grant it huge

autonomy.

Those believing that tele-transportation or, more

popularly known as teleporting, might wish to research

on the breakthroughs by Los Alamos National

Laboratories. Some years ago they made it possible at

the discrete level.

The PRESENT does not resemble the PAST, nor will the

FUTURE ever resemble the PRESENT; up until now the

PRESENT has been anecdotal, folkloric, and still

impregnated with greater forces and yet more subtle


14/50

14

ones than an ever-increasing synergy (i.e., mother of

all synergies) of all our known and unknown PASTS

combined (over four billion years), while the FUTURE

will over-geometrically trans-mutate into infinitelyswifter, arrhythmic, inconceivably, amorphously

perennially-accelerating (through diversely modulated

or not speeds speeds that stem from some new order of

rampant speeding and acceleration of said speeding ),

orderly-chaotized and yet more driven into vividly-

immersed and palpable realities than our current yet

obsolete PRESENT.

Why second-guess the FUTURE when you can read, in

advance, said FUTURE's hints NOW and exploit them

grandiosely, to your advantage? Annihilate the

DOWNSIDES to hijack the UPSIDES, metaphorically and not

so metaphorically speaking about leading, managing, and

undertaking organizations with a profit end orotherwise.

The FUTURE always wishes to readily equip the present

with novel information. Why? Because the FUTURE

considers the PRESENT a failed stated in the realm of

time, and does not desire to get implicated with the

downsides of a sub-optimal, bitter fellow who declinesevery helpful knowledge on emotional intelligence and

political intelligence. Anyway we are in a multi-eon-

streaming epoch in which mind-toughness and mind

resilience, within kindness and civility, are going to


15/50

15

be far more important than the smile of the bus driver

spoken of by Daniel Goldman. [29]

As the FUTURE gives the PRESENT a bad score and becomes

judgmental on it, the PRESENT flagrantly denies and

rejects the current existence of the FUTURE. The signs

echo by the FUTURE into the PRESENT are ubiquitously

here in encoded ways.

As the FUTURE paraphrases Shakespeares sentence (fears

take away the good with which we could win) and

executes it in the practice, the PRESENT feels a great

animosity against such a maxim and habit.

The forthcoming FUTURE already scattered among us

has a lot to offer to the PRESENT, namely an invaluable

out-of-this-world-and-time source of narrative and

numerical data (unexplored repository knowledge waiting

to being seized and administered by the PRESENT and its

inhabitants). Can you think of anyone more visionary

than the king in his class, the FUTURE itself?

The PRESENT, unfortunately, is somehow anecdotal

(suboptimal) while the FUTURE ruthlessly and

relentlessly abides by ever-emerging scientific truths.These truths contain vast gold mines for creation,

recreation, and super-creation, as well as for

devastation. The cultivated brains must root out the

endless dangers to capture the benefits, so humankind

prevails on Earth and much more beyond it if the


16/50

16

Universe (and the embedded Nature of the latter), too,

and its own hyper-dynamics warrants such a

sovereign license.

For the first time in history, we can work backward

from our imagination rather than forward from our past.

[28] In the midst of chaos, there is a learning lesson

to assimilate. Sometimes the table is served for OVER-

LEARNING if the prepared mind is paying huge attention

to the nano-granularity of details.

To me uncharted territory is the most splendorous

terra incognita territory, chiefly because of its

sheer number of unknown knowns and unknown knowns.

The term singularity entered the popular science

culture with the 1993 presentation at NASA-sponsored

conference of a seminal paper by San Diego State

University statistician Vernor Vinge. The abstract of

the famous essay is as dauntingly lucid today as it was

more than a decade ago: Permalink:

http://www.mindstalk.net/vinge/vinge-sing.htm

Professor Vinge indicated it in 1993: Within thirty

years, we will have the technological means to createsuperhuman intelligence. Shortly after, the human era

will be ended Is such progress avoidable? If not to be

avoided, can events be guided so that we may survive?

These questions are investigated. Some possible answers


17/50

17

[and some further dangers] are presentedBrackets are

mine.

I just wonder if the FUTURE is always stalking on the

PRESENT! Perhaps, it is so. One thing can be

ascertained, because of its non-erudite nature, the

FUTURE (the over-ruling) is always filibustering the

PRESENT (the enslaved).

These days meaning: these seconds the totality of all

is in the making perpetually. That to be in the

making mode at this time is relentlessly thought of

and thought through way in advance. This is a technique

to CURRENTLY get your brains over-in-sourced by zillion

practiced futuristic scenarios (quite early on).

The FUTURE WILL HIT the PRESENT AND ITS RESPECTIVE

GROUND, RUNNING. All of that as it has been seen up to

the present time. This is a hyper-accelerated Eons-

streaming Age and ever-increasingly by an above and

beyond an over-exponential factor. Said over-

exponential factor, even when multiplied by many

orders of magnitudes as in effect it is, the non-linear

geometrical and discontinuous growth of it is by most

people immeasurably underestimated and misunderstood.

Besides its intuition is only counter-intuition.

To me the PAST is more like Alice (Alice's Adventures

in Wonderland). The PRESENT seems more like Mr. Hyde

while the FUTURE appears to be more like the joint


18/50

18

conspiracy by Dr. Jekyll and Dorian Gray. Perhaps, we

will need the combined effort by Sherlock Holmes and

Agatha Christie to decipher these outright enigmas,

namely those stemming from the always-awaited-but-ever-intruding FUTURE. We are always longing for the good

sides of the futures impiously forgetting that those

futures come along with great responsibilities and

challenges.

Progress is the future outcome of a multitude of

cascades of current moments flowing divergently. The

divergence unites seamlessly but not under the

comprehension of the naked human eye.

The PRESENT is introvert adhocracy as the FUTURE is

technocracy in perpetuum. The PRESENT is an illiterate

adhocratic one while the FUTURE is the technocratic,

omni mode savant. The PAST is hollow and

inconsequential fossils unverifiable by any carbon

testing.

Most business plans are grotesquely ill-conceived

indeed in the mean time, as they are written-up and

reckoned with the eyes fixed in prehistory. IF IT IS

NOT AN ACTUAL SUB-SET OF A MUCH GREATER AND THOROUGH

ADVANCED RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY, THE FIRM WILL MEETGARGANTUAN CHALLENGES. Otherwise, there will be great

opportunities! One end of the greatest Risk Management

Effort (extraneous to insurance, co-insurance, re-

insurance, bonds, and those artifices marketed by

beautifully institutionalized social engineer, termed


19/50

19

by these God-sent incumbents: marketing techniques)

is to entertaining the fiscally sound outcomes of a

business, literally any business, challenge, or task.

This FUTURE, that throws around its weight through

every facet of the PRESENT mercilessly, might be 99.99%

INEVITABLE. Inevitability, in this instance, equates to

meaning that it will be a rogue dictator, over-ruling

capriciously and solely acting upon its way and

capricious taste.

The unavoidable consequences of this FUTURE can be

mitigated or at least somehow modulated. Evidently,

this FUTUREs UPSIDES can be, perhaps, seized and even

amplified. To meet both requisites, there is one HUGE

prerequisite before proceeding any further. That is,

that the TOTALITY of HUMANKIND has to converge AT

UNISON on the doubles on the most essentials

Herculean tasks to do in order to attempt the

sustainability of the corresponding civilization as it

is known / perceived now.

Possibly, this FUTURE will not have as per the flawed

hopes treasured by all-walks-of-life eyewitnesses a

natural tendency. Stated plainly, because it is being

envisioned and worked-out preternaturally, this FUTUREmay appear before our naked eyes with extreme

tendencies and directives that evoke the most

extravagant and transhuman mandates.


20/50

20

The terms extravagant and transhuman, in this case,

apply for even the ultimately leading-edge practitioner

of the scientific realm, either within that eminent

establishment, or those with an unauthenticatedcitizenship from the avant-garde renegade-verse. It

might be a genuine deal, it might not?

Said dictator will not impersonate anyone. He will be

THE maximum MONARCH OF TECHNOCRACY by his own right,

Remember? Yes, yes, yes I know, Technocracy, the

gentleman that just espoused a lady with an appalling

temperament that loses composure oft, even before the

states visits by the Holly Pope and her Royal Highness

the Queen of England. Her fist name is Global. Her

surname is Crises. Thats the reason why this power

couple has made Sir Francis Bacon a best-selling icon,

FOR TIME IS THE GREATEST INNOVATOR. Gotten it?

The PRESENT carries on superfluously. But the FUTURE is

over-impregnated and super-immersed with detailed

meaning and significance and with projected

transgressive-ly and a l omni mode manners, as well

as with its manifesting tangibly and yet palpably

intangibly pervasive ubiquity.

Perpetual innovation is a rogue truth to this PRESENT.The breadth, depth, scope, subtlety, intricacy, and

rate of acceleration of this FUTUREs perpetual

innovation will be endless, endless so that is beyond

the wildest dream or nightmare ever conceived by the

ultimately noted or most criticized sci-fi writer.


21/50

21

To attribute to this FUTUREs perpetual innovation a

quality of far-fetched will be as well an extreme over-

simplification and an existential blunder and the

greatest and most public personal acknowledgment of own

worshiped supine ignorance.

The PRESENT is a function of the PAST and, above all, a

function of the FUTURE. The PRESENT is a function of

the PAST only in part.

Remember: The FUTURE is always pre-clashing and/or

clashing the PRESENT, thus continuously shaping and re-

shaping the PRESENT to a great extent. The FUTURE is,

so to speak, 30% a function of the PRESENT and 70% a

function of the FUTURE itself.

The PRESENT is bathed by the ill-presumed permanency

and by the quality of being impermanent. The PRESENT is

never a snapshot or fixed (static). It is the linkage,

superposition, and/or contentious intertwining of many

films (multi-fluidly dynamics / kinetics).

Its dynamism grants itself, the PRESENT, huge ambitions

to becoming the FUTURE while trying to capture the

here and now mirage, a mirage (a misdemeanor) that

does not care losing the sense of ridicule in worldwide

football / soccer game through worldwide broadcasting


22/50

22

live. There are too many heres and a myriad of

nows.

The PRESENT is at least always infinite, unless its

interrelationship with the FUTURE stops. The FUTURE is

never endless unless a great anomaly takes place.

Concerning the PRESENT and specially the FUTURE, the

great majority of people failed considering the

possibility of anything going wrong, no matter how

remote the location or complexity of the implementation

environment.

The PRESENT and the FUTURE engender tsunamis of

CHANGES. When you altered your work because of

competition and/or difficult times, you are CHANGING

your professional occupation (organizational strategy).

When you reflect and modify you innermost (and that one

revolting and commuting within the innermost by using

its own proprietary translational and rotational move),

you are CHANGING your essence to some extent. CHANGING

your essence to being ADAPTABLE to ever-shifting

realities.

When CHANGE is always altering all types of CHANGES,

the scientific properties of known and unknown changes

get modified, sometimes profoundly and sometimes to an


23/50

23

indescribable unknown. This extreme modification is

what I have been referring to CHANGED CHANGES.

CHANGED CHANGES make the overwhelming case for beyond

unprecedented reinvention of humans, lifestyles,

organizations, businesses, governments, nongovernmental

organizations, societies, and worldwide society. In the

process, the extreme makeover is in nothing superficial

or similar. And the call is an abrupt wake-up alarm to

all sorts of leaders, managers, entrepreneurs, business

owners, government administrators, consultants,

advisers, strategists, professors, teachers, students,

researchers, and any breathing or cryogenized human

being.

Welcome to a new normal and a new abnormal.

At the time being, it does not matter anymore where you

come from and how this impact your current PRESENT.

Instead, what is presently relevant for you to envision

are the floating, fluxing, cross-railed FUTURES as they

climb the treacherous building-block ladder, the ladder

of accumulation of opportunities, challenges, and

perplexing, but exuberant trade-offs.

These trades-offs poise the least thinkable of the

unthinkable results, challenging our body (physiology),

mind (psychology), and soul (spirit). If you think

exuberant is a fancy or undesirable term, wait until

you come to meet your FUTURE in person.


24/50

24

To apply, say, for practical leadership credentials

will be a nearly, though not impossible, insurmountable

enterprise for Life. Leadership to what a) Benchmark,

b) Metric, c) Objective, d) Goal, e) Function, f)

Purpose?

How insurmountable? As nearly insurmountable as

attempting to hike the Everest cloth-less, equipment-

less, ill-prepared, without a crew and the

indispensable Sherpa, as you walk and climb toward themountains peak with your back focused on the peak and

while your eyes are grabbed by the starting-point

locus. You have the right to successfully seek the

anti-canonical milestone, Haven't you?

You can always walk into the FUTURE backwards to revive

the fossilized vestiges of blurred/made-up memoriesthat eat your soul out. A healthy medical prescriptions

will dictate: The patient must always focus on the

FUTURE. In the process, and in order to keep its

existence, he/she must always REMEMBER THE FUTURE.

You know what the PAST is? Reply: The eternal flow of

increasing creative-tension discrepancies between the

FUTURE and the PRESENT, encapsulated in a stream of

segments from the preterit tense kingdom, a kingdom

that is neither awaken nor significant anymore.

Historians and actuaries, in a hurry, will be shouting

that they stop being retrospective to becoming


25/50

25

prospective (and creatively so) given the eternally-

happening inflicting points of inflections.

Paraphrasing Ray Kurzweil [1], as order from FUTURE

exponentially increases, designated time exponentially

and incessantly speeds up by ever-increasing orders of

magnitude. The PRESENT is just a fluid venue

progressively shocked by the interactions between the

unfortunately fossilized PAST and the FUTURE.

Clearly, the genetics of the human beings will have a

notable impact on the psychology and physiology of the

humans until the FUTUREs say. Such a say has a

designated due time. By all enforced effects, the

FUTURE is always a representative of three facets.

There is the facet of opportunities that we can call

UPSIDE RISKS.

Another facet is that of the likelihood of potential

disruption. The former impersonates the DOWNSIDE RISK.

Thirdly, theres the facet of blended UPSIDE RISKS with

DOWNSIDE RISKS. To really get the OPPORTUNITIES the

DOWNSIDE RISKS must be terminated or, at least,

mitigated and modulated.

Such eternal creative-tension discrepancies / disputes

as imposed by the rogue and nearly ageless

interrelationship between the FUTURE and the PRESENT

as the FUTURE wages a preemptive war to get the PAST

under retirement. These eternal creative-tension


26/50

26

discrepancies make three major displacements. Firstly,

it displaces the PAST to a corner (or quadrant) where

vestiges are fossilized but not looked after.

Secondly, it displaces the PRESENT closer to the

FUTURE. Thirdly, the FUTURE pulls pervasively the

PRESENT into the FUTUREs intimate spheres of

influence, since this monarch (the FUTURE) wishes the

PRESENT to be the ultimate, loyal subject of the

FUTURE. This wish by the FUTURE is to this monarchical

ruler a sine qua non without fail.

It must be mentioned that interrelationship between the

FUTURE and the PRESENT is intense and will become

increasingly more intense, beyond the boldest and lucid

imagination without a fail.

Mother Nature is a great and loving and noble

matriarch. The Universe is the oldest and wisest

Patriarch, perhaps the elder son of the greatest

intelligence of all. The Multiverse (many universes at

once possessing many dimensions) is not only the

maximum, all-enabling Patriarch, but also a pervasive

Patrician holding the greatest intelligence, wealth,

perhaps the elder son of applied omniscience,

nanotechnology, biotechnology, robotics, and A.I.(artificial intelligence). [41]

Successful and tough / subtle / refined / granular

reverse-engineering captures breakthrough innovations


27/50

27

for the PRESENT and from the FUTUREs dominion.

Reverse-engineering all regardless of its origins,

terrestrial or extraterrestrial. In the last analysis,

everything is terrestrial and exo-terrestrial. This isimportant to bear in mind. Terrestrial or

extraterrestrial, what a fruitless argument as that of

the gender of the angels, is ultimately guided by the

Multiverse (period). The Earth (so too: Earthlings,

always greatly non-terrestrials, and/or Buckminster

Fullers Earthians) is a function of the Universe. The

Universe is a function of the Multiverse. Perhaps, the

Multiverse is a function of most known and chiefly

unknown forms of awareness and intelligence.

Every human is partly earthling and partly

extraterrestrial. Why? Because pre-bio-genesis and bio-

genesis was (at least and as it seems) massively

instilled from the outer space (a sub-verse of the

Multiverse). If extraterrestrial beings existed, they

would be, in fact, siblings to current humans. How

come? Because there are other genesis different from

bio-genesis on Earth, whether within our knowledge or

not. A genesis does not only take place only on Earth,

but in the whole Universe if it is or not under known

and unknown modes/assumptions.

To capture benefits and to extreme-make-over, say,leadership and to scientifically steward disruption

potential into exploited upsides (to make success

capturing crystallizes), you need to understand the

PRESENT, the FUTURE, and its frenzy interrelationship.

In making this effort optimum and among other


28/50

28

prerequisites we must find out and address two

topics. One topic has to do with how we reached this

PRESENT out of a scattered PASTs technological

accomplishment as we constructed an expanded knowledgerepository just by practicing future scenarios through

radiant foresight, far-sight, hindsight, insight, and

innermost-sight.

Another topic is that insidious habit of the FUTURE in

seducing the as-of-now PRESENTS while the citizens of

such PRESENTS make us agent so many looking-forward

changes that set afire the interrelationship between

this PRESENT and this FUTURE. Now we know how we got to

here, here is the hyper-dynamism of flows, in-

flows, counter-flows, avant-garde flows, crossed-

pollinated flows, point-inflecting flows. As-of-now

exactly refers to the PRESENT-FUTUREs own tte--tte.

[38]

Here, while in the PAST, was a bit statistical but

never really so. The so-called here is undergoing a

total immersion of numberless processes, throughputs,

transactions, deeds, etc. Here has always been

mobilized. Now is motorized at a rate that is beyond

awe-inspiring. We just got the now about right to

this point. To turn savvier on this FUTURE, one must be

a genius in his executions (sic), yoctosecond byyoctosecond.

Then, he / she has to make the greatest effort of all,

that is, to think unthinkably in relation to present


29/50

29

forces and pertaining to futuristic trendsboth subtle

and dramatic ones as well as those driving and

marshaling and enforcing just brute-force dramatic

onesby means of the practical implementation ofscenario planning. All of the previous without ignoring

the flagrant and less-are-sometimes-more interactions

instrumented by said forces.

Thereinafter, your unthinkable thinking about FUTURES

must become more refined, enhanced, exuberant,

streamlined, diverse, expanded, disciplined, and

extended. In doing so, it never suffices to come up

with a three-scenario forecast. Subsequently, forecasts

must carry with you as many plausible or implausible

scenarios (ad infinitum indeed) as resources required

never lacking the maximum rigor. Also, no optimum

forecast is great enough if it is not accompanied with

an arsenal of plans of contingency. Each scenario

crafted must have its respective, unambiguous plan of

contingency without a fail.

All of this is true for humans from the PAST and the

PRESENT. Towards a more advanced time and by means of

reverse-engineering with the omniscience perspective

the humans will increasingly be of different

constituents and design, as well as different

concerning purpose, function, and a combination ofpurpose and function at once.

The PRESENT is always unnecessarily delayed or even

lost and absent-minded because its limits are


30/50

30

impermanent and capabilities are finite. The PRESENT

never contemplates fast-forward-ly, but in reversal in

so adding to its even greater inherent disadvantage.

The FUTURE operates beyond the offensive accelerationof light speed-plus and nearly without or with zero

limits or constraints or borders. The FUTURE is the

Napoleonic Emperor that does everything only under its

own terms, exploiting every advantage and disadvantage

to its lucrative well-being and omni-ruling.

The FUTURE is accustomed to spying on the PRESENT. How

come? The FUTURE is the PRESENTs debriefing one. The

FUTURE is, in many cases a virtuoso, though it at times

voyeurs the PRESENT. What a horrendous vice! Such deed

will NEVER be tolerated. How do you REHAB the FUTURE?

Group therapy? Grouping it with whom? Rehabilitating it

by which means?

The PRESENT is sleepwalking while the FUTURE is child

like wondered by daydreaming. In the mean time, the

post-modern modernity is a rush getting more and more

modern by unprecedented shock and awe unearthed

standards.

This criss-cross PRESENT will be reconstituted by the

continually crinkum-crankum FUTURE inevitably. [30],[31]. There is going on a terzetto in which the

happenings are more or less like this: the PAST

(R.I.P), the PRESENT (th dansant), and the FUTURE

(tertium quid). [32], [33], [34]. Clearly, the PAST is

getting a fully impeachable CPR by so-called


31/50

31

historians. Earned in his own intellectual right,

Thomas Jefferson most lucidly stated: I prefer the

dreams of the FUTURE than history.

Who would dare not to appreciate that nanotechnology,

biotechnology, bionics, and artificial intelligence

making deep and steep inroads? Incidentally, the

definition of the omniscience perspective can be

revised at www.AllSciCzar.blogspot.com as well.

The PRESENT is an absent-minded sardine while the

FUTURE is a giant cuttlefish in conspiracy with an

octopus and a twenty-four eyes jelly-fish.

Ying and Yang have combined forces of subtle and

dramatic origin. These days the PRESENT is a bit like a

pseudo-harmonized Ying-Yang relationship. The FUTURE is

only about Yang deeds.

The PRESENT is besieged by a bunch of dilettantes and

poseurs. [39]. The FUTURE is so to speak la Sir

Francis Drake.

The PRESENT is more like Huckleberry Finn while the

FUTURE is perhaps the archetype of Genghis Khan and his

efficacious Mongols.


32/50

32

The stream of as-of-now PRESENTS will become to some

extent one of the forthcoming FUTURES. At some point

ahead, a PRESENT will be ultimately integrated into a

single FUTURE. Such a FUTURE, though, will reach apoint in which being bio-based or bio-related or not in

vivo at all will be splendidly awaken and active.

Regardless of transhumanity, overhumanity,

superhumanity, nonhumanity and above and beyond

humanity, the hard-core essential is and will be not

being human but becoming and acting humanely.

The PRESENTS are from appalling and contentious

interrelationship between Venus and Mars. The FUTURES

are only from stringent Mars. Go and ask about it Dr.

John Gray. [40]

The FUTURES are supervening upon the PRESENTS in

combination with the ruthless forces possess by the own

FUTURES.

The PRESENT concerns the animal and vegetable kingdoms.

The FUTURE is only about beyond post-humanity and its

staggering brute-force and dramatically-subtle

INTELLIGENCE.

The PRESENT pertains to pretending discovering science.

The FUTURE is absolute science dominance and nearly if

not thoroughly infinite power.


33/50

33

The PRESENT is always misled and misleading, treasuring

a great promise of deceit. The FUTURE is eloquently

transparent and clear, crippling in advance

violators of ethics, morality, principles, integrity,

and dignity.

The PRESENT is a powerless hostage not interested in

any vindication at all. The PRESENT is sick and ailing

because of: a) its once-true believes, b) its once-true

assumptions, c) its once-true cosmosvision(weltanschauung), d) its once-true systems of belief,

e) its once-true truisms f) its once-true common

sense, g) its once-true good luck, so forth. From

the human point of view, these changed changes will be

a throwing away of all the previous maxims.

Subsequently, the FUTURE will incessantly remainredefining the totality and the entirety of (i) all and

(ii) everything (known, unknown, improbable,

impossible, thinkable, unthinkable, concerning, and

desirable within and outside the laws of physics,

quantum mechanics, and other science of exactness). I

now welcome you, ladies and gentlemen, to Futurama.

[36]

Some serious scientists are making the case of

conquering humans immortality or, at least, some

thousand years of healthy living in the upcoming years.

In making their case, they insist that we are all made

of an eternal molecule known as DNA. They insist that


34/50

34

the DNA molecule has been with us through billions of

years. Ray Kurzweil proclaims that by the 2030s, the

nonbiological portion of our intelligence will

predominate [1]. Get ready then! Let this briefparagraph to be introductory to the one ensuing.

Futurama will ultimately and inexorably transform into

Computronium [35], [36], a technocratic, adhocratic,

stratocratic, plutocratic empire thoroughly immersed in

the overbearingly qualities: techie, nerdish, brainy,

geekish, whose subject matter is the designated output

of: a) humans, b) enhanced humans, c) pseudo-humans, d)

post-humans, e) super-humans (over-men), f) bionicals,

g) superhumanly intelligent beings, h) robots, i)

hybrids, j) trans-humans, k) post-biologicals, and l) a

combination of all of the priors.

While the PRESENT vastly underestimates the influence

of the present-day Internet, the FUTURE will capture

every known and unknown force to crown itself into

ruthless Computronium. This Royal is not silly

dignitary as one will see him out-compute the entirety

of the Universe (and Multiverse, the Universes first-

and-foremost father).

In the near FUTUREs (in the zillion flows betweenFuturama, the adolescent, and Computronium, the adult),

your dreams, fantasies, and nightmares will all be

literally out-dreamed and/or out-daydreamed and/or out-

smarted and/or out-shinned and/or out-foretold by a

factor of trillion orders of magnitude.


35/50

35

The FUTURE is bathed, as the PRESENT has already been

hinted, with artifacts that as a whole are pervasively

awakened. These FUTURES are beyond boundary-less-ness.

The FUTURE is always unfolding before most peoples

absent-minded eyes, independently if those eyes are

appended or not to prepared minds.

If you're not remembering the FUTURE is only because

you are ignoring every lesson by the PAST and PRESENT,

both a PAST and a PRESENT, in my view, designated by

the express mandates and designs of the FUTURE.

In dealing with our systems of beliefs, strongly held

assumptions and cosmosvision (weltanschauung), the

FUTURE, into walking habitually great lengths,ascertain that the PRESENT is a thing of the past and

the past is a thing further back to the primordial big

bang.

The FUTURE is not in hot pursuit of the PRESENT. The

PRESENT represents one fluid expression by the ever-

more autocratic unstoppable rulings by the FUTURE. Yet

we have now a great chance to make the most intelligent

decision to lowering the downsides and upping and

upgrading the upsides.


36/50

36

In matters of actual challenging ones own intellect,

any too much effort to this end is always too

little. We must, therefore, strive exponentially and

creatively forever to capture now the best from theever-forthcoming FUTURES.

A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) is important. But now is

more important the most pervasive amplification of the

human mind via biological media only so that we can

conceive and develop our own FUTURES and those

incumbent to the people we care for!

In deciphering the FUTURE now and making the PRESENT a

thing of the PAST, one must learn an easy lesson:

Post-mortem analyzes are indispensable. Yet pre-mortem

analyzes (especially the qualitatively driven) are

beyond grandiose. In order to institute the latter you

must inquisitively learn to discern, think, heed,

ponder, scale and become furiously mobilized.

WRAPPING UP

The German philosopher, Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche,

reiterates that if we change the present we can change

the future, and if we change the future as well as

the way we proactively and qualitatively envision and

practice it through futuristic scenario methods we

will be changing the present in fact and taking

increasing control over the negative circumstances that

impact us so dramatically. In actuality, we must change

both the PRESENT and the FUTURE simultaneously at once.

The PRESENTs vest interest into the FUTURE is too huge


37/50

37

not to note it immediately. Nietzsche, thereby, stated

exactly: "Its our future that lays down the law of our

today."

It now becomes opportune Freeman Dyson sentence: God

is what mind becomes when it has passed beyond the

scale of our comprehension.

The FUTURE will, nonetheless, unveil the most ambitious

and extravagant hopes crystallized into bewildering,

new full immersion realities.

CAVEAT

Capturing the benefits of all possibilities stemming

from the future, as well as turning threats, perils and

hazards several of them existential ones , will

largely depend on THE TOTALITY OF humankind taking

unprecedented countermeasures in tackling so many

global crises with sustained success.

We must establish universal acceptance of the greatest

axiom of all times pertaining to the subject matter to

be dealt with now. Said axiom establishes: An ounce

of prevention is worth millions of dollars of cure.In

the West we are unquestionably over-working at the

cure while maximizing the under-working at the

prevention.


38/50

38

Even by Dr. Bertrand Russells proclaim (I know more

people who prefer to die than to think.) [3], we must

anyway create preconditions for everyone to get more

immersed into the constructive thinking side of the

equation than in the self-destructing one.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Mr. Andres Agostini is - first and foremost - a

Global Independent Professional Contractor and a Member

of the Advisory Board of ACC Group Worldwide (New York,

Miami, London). He is also Executive Associate for

Global Markets at Omega Systems Group Incorporated

(Arlington, Virginia, USA). He has 30 years of applied,


45/50

45

professional/empirical experience. He has two majors on

insurance management in the U.S., took "Mechanical

Engineering Technology" in Dawson College (Montreal,

Canada), as well as Linguistics courses in Queen's

University and Saint Lawrence College (both at

Kingston, Ontario, Canada).

Through his professional life and beyond upper

education, he became engaged in being indoctrinated by

the most prominent global organizations, out of the

U.S. and the U.K., into: a) Management, b) Risk

Management, c) Group Employee Benefits, d) Insurance,

e) Reinsurance and many other subject matter dealingwith transformation of: 1) Organizations, 2)

Management, 3) Leadership, 4) Business, 5) Scenario

Method, 6) Systems Methodologies, 7) Systems Safety, 8)

Systems Security, 9) Systems Reliability and 10)

Professional Futurology.

Beyond implementation of methodologies such as Total

Quality Assurance, Kaisen (including the Toyota

Production System TPS), Lean Manufacturing, SixSigma, Reliability Engineering and other

Multidimensional approaches, he is the founder and sole

proprietor of the methodology TRANSFORMATIVE AND

INTEGRATIVE RISK MANAGEMENT, based on Systems

Methodology, designed by Andres Agostini in 2005.

Mr. Agostini is passionate about (a) the FUTURE, (b)

Applied Omniscience Activist,(c) Not insurance-based

Transformative and Integrative Risk Management,(d)Mind

Expansionist Practitioner. I enjoy teaching a great

deal!

AN IDEA WORTH SPREADING AS PER MR. AGOSTINI! We can all

attempt the best to tackle so many global crises. Those

concern me. However, there is one global crisis that

TAKES PRECEDENT AND TUTELAGE FROM ANY OTHER CRISIS.

IM REFERRING TO THE EXTREMELY GRAVE AND UNIVERSAL,

EXISTENTIAL RISK CONCERNING SYSTEMATIC VIOLATIONS

AGAINST MORALITY, PRINCIPLES, VALUES, AND ETHICS. Ive

given this life-to-death humankind challenge a womb-to-

tomb reflections for a number of years.

In the mean time, disruption potential and itscorresponding vulnerabilities are staggeringly

compounding into an immeasurable defiance to Earth in

its totality. Ethics AND serious rule of law AND true

justice AND zero calamities equal some viable chances

as we grasp the convergence of technologies with the

omniscience perspective.

In fact, with a tsunami of new knowledge and novel

skills we might have a change of prosperity. We mustall remember that all PROBLEMS are because of

ignorance, especially that ignorance deployed by those

supposed to have empowered minds that in actuality

worship their preferred path: own supine ignorance in

extremis!

TALK TO ME ABOUT! We must embrace (i) science and

technology, (ii) unconventional thinking in excelsis,(iii) morality and ethics, (iv) civics, justice, and

rigorous law ruling, as well as compassion, humanity

and really enforced harmony and peace.

PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THAT I'M GOOD AT AS THIS QUESTION

WAS ORIGINALLY REFERRED TO ME AT TED.COM! People dont

know that Im extremely good at -with the Omniscience

perspective - seeing existential problems/fixes way in

advance and decisively, and solving extremely complex

difficulties that require maximum precision.

MY TED STORY! Ive had and still have the pleasure to

be hired by customers and operate with partners before

the most daring and pressing situations. Fortunately,

educated in the USA, Canada, and Great Britain in

academia and chiefly in profession.

I have a unique way of seeing problems and their

solving. Luckily and very much to my advantage, I have

worked in many tenures and for a whole array of

disparate industries.

Subsequently, I feel quite comfortable in dealing with

a gamut of business issues, including some undertaken

by some supranational organizations as the World Bankand special agencies like or related to or aspiring to

instituting best practices by NASA.

I am always ready to take on an even more stringent

challenge every time. I never advise to make crises

wait when there is so much learning to capture in

solving said crises.

I dont only do a great deal of researching,

experimenting/testing. But I, too, do huge studying and

studying present evidence falsifying (a l Sir Karl

Popper)to walk several steps forward towards the


48/50

48

optimum omniscience repository applicable by me and via

others.

I can go from huge structuralism to highly amorphous

and a combination of those two without losing

consistency, congruency, sense of direction,

ambient/environment awareness and efficacy.

He has addressed major advisory services to top

executives from Fortune-1000 corporations. Some of its

clients include, World Bank, GE, GMAC, Toyota,

Mitsubishi, and Abbot Laboratories.
