    PRESENT Versus FUTURE? Or FUTURE Versus PRESENT?: ARadical Yet Rigorous Approach To Understanding TheComplexities and Subtleties Of The Driving Forces Of Change InCentury 21 -- By Andres Agostini at

    Evelyn Lindner: Pessimism is a luxury of good times In difficulttimes, pessimism is a self-fulfilling, self-inflicted death sentence.

    The FUTURE always wishes to readily equip the present withnovel information. Why? Because the FUTURE considers the

    PRESENT a failed stated in the realm of time, and does notdesire to get implicated with the downsides of a sub-optimalfellow.

    As the FUTURE gives the PRESENT a bad score and becomes judgmental on it, the PRESENT flagrantly denies and rejects thecurrent existence of the FUTURE.

    As the FUTURE paraphrases Shakespeares sentence (fears takeaway the good with which we could win) and executes it in thepractice, the PRESENT feels a great animosity against such amaxim and habit.

    The forthcoming FUTURE already scattered among us has alot to offer to the PRESENT, namely an invaluableout-of-this-word-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 thinkof anyone more visionary than the king in his class, the FUTURE?

    The PRESENT, unfortunately, is somehow anecdotal while theFUTURE ruthlessly and relentlessly abides by ever-emergingscientific truths. These truths contained vast gold mines for

    creation, recreation, and super-creation, as well as fordevastation. The cultivated brains must root out the endlessdangers to capture the benefits, so humankind prevails on Earthand much more beyond it if the Universe, too, and its own

    hyper-dynamics warrants such a license.

    For the first time in history, we can work backward from ourimagination rather than forward from our past. In the midst ofchaos, there is a learning lesson to assimilate. Sometimes thetable is served for an OVER-LEARNING if the prepared mind ispaying huge attention to the nano-granularity of details. (Andy Andres Agostini, Nov/23/2001, 8:34 p.m. EST).

    To me un-chartered territory is the most splendorous terraincognita territory, chiefly because of its sheer number ofunknown knowns. By Copyright 2009 Andres Agostini (Andy),Friday, May/08/2008 + Arlington, Virginia, USA

    The term singularity entered the popular science culture with the1993 presentation at NASA-sponsored conference of a seminalpaper by San Diego State University statistician Vernor Vinge.The abstract of the famous essay is as daunting today as it wasmore than a decade ago: Permalink:http://www.ArchSingularity.blogspot.com

    Within thirty years, we will have the technological means tocreate superhuman intelligence. Shortly after, the human era willbe ended Is such progress avoidable? If not to be avoided, canevents be guided so that we may survive? These questions are

    investigated. Some possible answers (and some further dangers)are presented

    I just wonder if the FUTURE is always stalking on the PRESENT!Perhaps, it is so. One thing can be ascertained, because of itsnon erudite nature, the FUTURE (the over-ruling) is always

    filibustering the PRESENT (the enslaved). (Andy AndresAgostini, Jan/19/2009, 3:17 p.m. EST).

    Andres Agostini: these daysmeaning: these secondsthe

    totality of all is in the making perpetyually. That to be in themaking madeat this timeis relentlessly thought of andthought through way in advance. This is a technique toCURRENTLY get your brains over-insourced by zillion, practicedfuturistic scenarios. (Andy Andres Agostini, Jan/17/2009, 10:21p.m. EST).

    "The FUTURE WILL HIT the PRESENT AND ITS RESPECTIVE

    GROUND, RUNNING. All of that as it has been seen up to thepresent time. This is a hyper-accelerated Eon s-streaming Ageand ever-increasingly by a above and beyond an over-exponentialfactor. Said over-exponential factor, even when multiplied bymany orders of magnitudes as in effect it is, the non-lineargeometrical growth of it is by most people immeasurablyunderestimated." (Andres Agostini, Jan/19/2009, 11:09 p.m.EST).

    To meThe PAST is more like Alice (Alice's Adventures inWonderland). The PRESENT seems more like Mr. Hyde while theFUTURE appears to be more like the conspiracy of Dr. Jekyll andDorian Gray. Perhaps, we will need the combined effort bySherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie to decipher the outrightenigmas, namely those stemming from thealways-awaited-but-ever-intruding FUTURE. (Andy AndresAgostini, Jan/19/2009, 11:21 p.m. EST).

    Progress is the future outcome of cascades of current momentsflowing divergently. (Andres Agostini, Jan/25/2009, 5:04 p.m.EST).

    The PRESENT is introvert adhocracy as the FUTURE is

  • 8/14/2019 QUESTION: Are the PAST and PRESENT a sole function of the FUTURE? By Copyright 2010 Andres Agostini

    4/206

    technocracy in perpetuum. The PRESENT is an illiterateadhocratic one while the FUTURE is the technocratic, 'omnimode' savant. The PAST is hollow, inconsequential fossils.

    Most business plans are ill-conceived indeed, as they arewritten-up and reckoned with the eyes fixed in prehistory. IF IT ISNOT AN ACTUAL SUB-SET OF A MUCH GREATER ANDTHOROUGH ADVANCED RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY,THE FIRM WILL MEET GARGANTUAN CHALLENGES.Otherwise, there will be great opportunities! One end of thegreatest Risk Management Effort (extraneous to insurance,co-insurance, re-insurance, bonds, etc.) 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 facetof the PRESENT impiously, might be 99.99% INEVITABLE.Inevitability, in this instance, equates to meaning that it will be arogue dictator, over-ruling capriciously and solely by its way andtaste. The unavoidable consequences of this FUTURE can bemitigated or at least somehow modulated. Evidently, thisFUTUREs UPSIDES can, perhaps, be seized and evenamplified. To meet both requisites, there is one HUGEprerequisite before proceeding any further. That is, that theTOTALITY of HUMANKIND has to converge AT UNISONonthe doubleson the most essentials Herculean tasks to do inorder to attempt the sustainability of the corresponding civilizationas it is known / perceived now.

    Possibly, this FUTURE will not haveas per the hopes treasuredby all-walks-of-life eyewitnessesa natural tendency. Statedplainly, because it is being envisioned and worked-outpreternaturally, this FUTURE may appear before our nakedeyes with extreme tendencies and directives that evoke themost extravagant and transhuman mandate. The terms

  • 8/14/2019 QUESTION: Are the PAST and PRESENT a sole function of the FUTURE? By Copyright 2010 Andres Agostini

    5/206

    extravagant and transhuman, in this case, apply for even theultimately leading-edge practitioner of the scientific realm, eitherwithin the eminent establishment, or those with anunauthenticated citizenship from the avant-garde renegade-verse.

    It might be a genuine deal, it might not?

    Said dictator will not impersonate anyone. He will be THEmaximum MONARCH OF TECHNOCRACY by his own right,Remember? Yes, yes, yesI know. Technocracy, the gentleman,

    just espoused a lady with an appalling temperament that loosescomposure oft, even before the states visits by the Holly Pope.Her fist name is Global. Her surname is Crises. Thats the

    reason why this power couple has made Sir Francis Bacon abest-selling icon, FOR TIME IS THE GREATEST INNOVATOR.Gotten it?

    The PRESENT carries on superfluously. But the FUTURE isover-impregnated and super-immersed with detailed meaning andsignificance and projected transgressively a l omni mode, aswell as with its manifesting tangibly and intangibly pervasiveubiquity.

    Perpetual innovation is a rogue truth to this PRESENT. Thebreadth, depth, scope, and rate of acceleration of this FUTUREsperpetual innovation will be endless, endless so beyond thewildest dream or nightmare ever conceived by the ultimatelynoted or most criticized sci-fi writer. To attribute to this FUTUREsperpetual innovation a quality of far-fetched will be an extremeover-simplification and an existential blunder.

    The PRESENT is a function of the PAST and, above all, afunction of the FUTURE. The PRESENT is a function of the PASTonly in part. Remember: The FUTURE is always pre-clashingand/or clashing the PRESENT, thus continuously shaping andre-shaping the PRESENT to a great extent. The FUTURE is, so to

  • 8/14/2019 QUESTION: Are the PAST and PRESENT a sole function of the FUTURE? By Copyright 2010 Andres Agostini

    6/206

    speak, 30% a function of the PRESENT and 70% a function of theFUTURE itself. The PRESENT is bathed by permanency and bythe quality of being impermanent. The PRESENT is not asnapshot or fixed (static). It is the linkage, superposition, and/or

    intertwining of many films (multi-fluidly dynamical). Its dynamismgrants itself, the PRESENT, huge ambitions to becoming theFUTURE while trying to capture the here and now mirage, amirage that does not care loosing the sense of ridicule. There aretoo many heres and a myriad of nows.

    The PRESENT is always infinite, unless its interrelationship withthe FUTURE stops. The FUTURE is never endless unless a great

    anomaly takes place.

    Concerning the PRESENT and specially the FUTURE, the greatmajority of people failed considering the possibility of anythinggoing wrong, no matter how remote the location or complexity ofthe implementation environment.

    The PRESENT and the FUTURE engender tsunamis ofCHANGES. When you altered your work because of competitionand/or difficult times, you are CHANGING your professionaloccupation (organizational strategy). When you reflect and modifyyou innermost (and that revolt and commutes while revoltingwithin the innermost), you are CHANGING your essence to someextent. CHANGING your essence to being ADAPTABLE toever-shifting realities. When CHANGE is always altering all typesof CHANGES, the scientific properties of known and unknownchanges get modified, sometimes profoundly. This extreme

    modification is what I have been referring to CHANGEDCHANGES.

    CHANGED CHANGES make the overwhelming case for beyondunprecedented reinvention of humans, business and lifestyles,organizations, businesses, governments, nongovernmental

  • 8/14/2019 QUESTION: Are the PAST and PRESENT a sole function of the FUTURE? By Copyright 2010 Andres Agostini

    7/206

    organizations, societies, and worldwide society. In the process,the extreme makeover is in nothing superficial or similar. And thecall is an abrupt wake-up alarm to all sorts of leaders, managers,entrepreneurs, business owners, government administrators,

    consultants, adviser, strategists, professors, teachers, students,researchers, and any breathing or cryogenized human being.

    At the time being, it does not matter anymore where you comefrom and how this impact your current PRESENT. Instead, whatis presently relevant for you to envision are the floating, fluxing,cross-railed FUTURES as they climb the treacherousbuilding-block ladder, the ladder of accumulation of opportunities,

    challenges, and perplexing, but exuberant, trade-offs. Thesetrade-offs poise the least thinkable of the unthinkable results,challenging our body (physiology), mind (psychology), and soul(spirituality). To apply, say, for practical leadership credentials willbe a nearly, though not impossible, insurmountable enterprise forLife.

    How insurmountable? As nearly insurmountable as attempting tohike the Everest cloth-less, equipment-less, ill-prepared, without acrew and the indispensable Sherpa, as you walk and climb towardthe mountains peak with your back focused on the peak andwhile your eyes are grabbed by the starting-point locus. You canalways walk into the FUTURE backwards to revive the fossilizedvestiges of blur/made-up memories that eat your soul out.

    You know what the PAST is? Reply: The eternal flow ofincreasing creative-tension discrepancies between the FUTURE

    and the PRESENT, encapsulated in a stream of segments fromthe preterit tense kingdom, a kingdom that is neither awaken norsignificant anymore.

    Clearly, the genetics of the human beings will have a notableimpact on the psychology and physiology of the humans until the

    FUTUREs say. Such a say has a designated due time. By alleffects, the FUTURE is always a representative of three facets.There is the facet of opportunities that we can call UPSIDERISKS. Another facet is that of the likelihood of potential

    disruption. The former impersonates the DOWNSIDE RISK.Thirdly, theres the facet of blended UPSIDE RISKS withDOWNSIDE RISKS. To really get the OPPORTUNITIES theDOWNSIDE RISKS must be terminated or, at least, mitigated andmodulated.

    Such eternal creative-tension discrepancies as imposed by therogue and nearly ageless interrelationship between the FUTURE

    and the PRESENTwage a 'preemptive war' to get the PASTunder retirement. These eternal creative-tension discrepanciesmake three major displacements. Firstly, it displaces the PAST toa corner (or quadrant) where vestiges are fossilized but notlooked after. Secondly, it displaces the PRESENT closer to theFUTURE. Thirdly, the FUTURE pulls pervasively the PRESENTto the FUTUREs intimate spheres of influence, since thismonarch (the FUTURE) wishes the PRESENT to be the ultimate,loyal subject of the FUTURE. This wish from the FUTURE is tothis monarchical ruler a sine qua non without fail.

    It must be mentioned that interrelationship between the FUTUREand the PRESENT is intense and will become increasingly moreintense, beyond the boldest and lucid imagination without a fail.

    Mother Nature is a great and loving and noble matriarch. TheUniverse is the oldest and wisest Patriarch, perhaps the elder son

    of the greatest intelligence of all. The Multiverse (many universeswith, at the same time, many dimensions) is not only themaximum, all-enabling Patriarch, but also a pervasive Patricianholding the greatest intelligence, wealth, perhaps the elder son ofapplied omniscience, nanotechnology, biotechnology, robotics,and A.I. (artificial intelligence).

    Successful and tough/subtle/refined/granular reverse-engineeringcaptures breakthrough innovations for the PRESENT and fromthe FUTUREs dominion. Reverse-engineer all regardless of its

    origins, terrestrial or extraterrestrial. This is important to bear inmind. Terrestrial or extraterrestrial, what a friutless arguement asthat of the sex of the angels, is ultimately tutelaged by theMultiverse (period).

    Successful and tough reverse-engineering captures breakthroughinnovations for the PRESENT and from the FUTUREs dominion.Reverse-engineer all regardless of its origins, terrestrial or

    extraterrestrial. This is important to bear in mind.

    Every human is partly earthling and partly extraterrestrial. Why?Because pre-bio-genesis and bio-genesis was (at least and as itseems) massively instilled from the outer space. (a sub-verse ofthe Multiverse). If extraterrestrial beings existed, they would be, infact, siblings to current humans. How come? Because there areother genesis different from biogenesis on Earth, whether withinour knowledge or not. A genesis does not only take place only onEarth, but in the whole Universe if it is or not under known andunknown modes/assumptions.

    To capture benefits and to extreme-make-over, say, leadershipand to scientifically steward disruption potential, you need tounderstand the PRESENT, the FUTURE, and its frenzyinterrelationship. In making this effort optimumand among otherprerequisiteswe must find out and address two topics. One

    topic has to do with how we reached this PRESENT out of ascattered PASTs technological accomplishment as weconstructed an expanded knowledge repository just by practicingfuture scenarios through radiant foresight, far-sight, hindsight,insight, and innermost-sight.

  • 8/14/2019 QUESTION: Are the PAST and PRESENT a sole function of the FUTURE? By Copyright 2010 Andres Agostini

    Another topic is that insidious habit of the FUTURE in seducingthe as-of-now PRESENTS while the citizens of such PRESENTSmake us agent so many looking-forward changes that set afire theinterrelationship between this PRESENT and this FUTURE. Now

    we know how we got to here, here is the hyper-dynamism offlows, in-flows, counter-flows, avant-garde flows,crossed-pollinated flows, point-inflecting flows. As-of-nowexactly refers to the PRESENT-FUTUREs own tte--tte.

    Here, while in the PAST, was a bit statistical but never really so.The so-called here is undergoing a total immersion ofnumberless processes, throughputs, transactions, deeds, etc.

    Here has always been mobilized. Now is motorized at a ratethat is beyond awe-inspiring. We just got the now about right tothis point. To turn savvier on this FUTURE, one must be a geniusin his executions (sic) yoctosecond by yoctosecond.

    Then, he / she has to make the greatest effort of all, that is, tothink unthinkably in relation to present forces and respectivefuturistic trendsboth subtle and dramatic ones as well as thosedriving and marshaling and enforcing just brute-force dramaticonesby means of the practical implementation of scenarioplanning.

    Thereinafter, your unthinkable thinking about FUTURES mustbecome more refined, enhanced, exuberant, streamlined, diverse,expanded, and extended. In doing so, it never suffices to come upwith a three-scenario forecast. Subsequently, forecasts mustcarry with you as many plausible or implausible scenarios as

    resources required never loosing the maximum rigor. Also, nooptimum forecast is great enough if it is not accompanied of anarsenal of plans of contingency. Each scenario crafted must haveits respective, unambiguous plan of contingency without a fail.

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

    Toward a more advanced timeand by means ofreverse-engineering with the omniscience perspectivethehumans will increasingly be of different constituents and design.

    The PRESENT is always unnecessarily delayed or even lost andabsent-minded because its limits are impermanent andcapabilities are finite. The PRESENT never contemplatesfast-forward-ly, but in reversal in so adding to its even greaterdisadvantage. The FUTURE operates beyond the offensiveacceleration of light speed-plus and nearly without or with zerolimits or constraints or borders. The FUTURE is the NapoleonicEmperor that does everything only under its own terms, exploiting

    every advantage and disadvantage to its lucrative well-being andomni-ruling.

    The FUTURE is accustomed to spying on the PRESENT. Howcome? The FUTURE is the PRESENTs debriefing one. TheFUTURE is, in many cases a virtuoso, though it at times voyeursthe PRESENT. What a horrendous vice! Such deed will NEVERbe tolerated. How do you REHAB the FUTURE? Group therapy?Grouping it with whom?

    The PRESENT is sleepwalking while the FUTURE is child likewondered by daydreaming. In the mean time, the post-modernmodernity is a rush getting more and more modern byunprecedented shock and awe unearthed standards.

    This criss-cross PRESENT will be reconstituted by the continuallycrinkum-crankum FUTURE inevitably. 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 (tertiumquid). Clearly, the PAST is getting a CPR to be by historians.Earned in his own intellectual right, Jefferson stated: I prefer thedreams of the FUTURE than history.

    Who would dare not to appreciate that nanotechnology,biotechnology, bionics, and artificial intelligence making deep andsteep inroads? Incidentally, the definition of the omniscienceperspective can be revised at www.AllSciCzar.blogspot.com as

    well.

    The PRESENT is an absent-minded sardine while the FUTURE isgiant cuttlefish in conspiracy with an octopus.

    Ying and Yang have combined forces of subtle and dramaticorigin. These days the PRESENT is a bit like apseudo-harmonized Ying-Yang relationship. The FUTURE is only

    about Yang deeds.

    The PRESENT is besieged by a bunch of dilettantes and poseurs.The FUTURE isso to speak la Sir Francis Drake.

    The PRESENT is more like Huckleberry Finn while the FUTUREis perhaps the archetype of Genghis Khan and his efficaciousMongols.

    The stream of as-of-now PRESENTS will becometo someextentone of the forthcoming FUTURES. At some point ahead,a PRESENT will be ultimately integrated into a single FUTURE.Such a FUTURE, though, will reach a point in which beingbio-based or bio-related or not in vivo at all will be splendorouslyawaken and active.

    The PRESENTS are from appalling and contentiousinterrelationship between Venus and Mars. The FUTURES are

    only from stringent Mars. Go and ask about it Dr. John Gray.

    The FUTURES are supervening upon the PRESENTS incombination with the ruthless forces possess by the ownFUTURES.

    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 discovering science. The FUTURE isabsolute science dominance and nearly infinite power.

    The PRESENT is always misled and misleading, treasuring agreat promise of deceit. The FUTURE is eloquently transparentand clear, cripplingin advanceviolators of ethics, morality,principles, integrity, and dignity.

    WRAPPING UPBut 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 proactivelyand qualitatively envision and practice it through futuristicscenario methods we will be changing the present in fact andtaking increasing control over the negative circumstances that

    impact us so dramatically. In actuality, we must change both thePRESENT and the FUTURE simultaneously and at once. ThePRESENTs vest interest into the FUTURE is too huge not to noteit immediately. Nietzsche, thereby, stated exactly: "Its our futurethat lays down the law of our today."

    1.- First off, we must establish universal acceptance of thegreatest axiom of all times pertaining to the subject matter to bedealt with now. Said axiom establishes: An ounce of prevention

    is worth millions of dollars of cure. In the West we areover-working at the cure while under-working at the prevention.

    2.- Having spoken of prevention, lets now chat about preventivemedicine by using the greatest wisdom of Sir Francis Bacon: Hethat will not apply new remedies must expect new evils, for time isthe greatest innovator.

    3.- Okay, Bacon has spoken loud and clear. People who listen tohim benefits greatly. Those who dont are in shock, bewilderment,and even undergoing times of struggle regardless of the Era. Wehave the choice to ignore his extreme wisdom or we can acceptand practice it thoroughly in every facet of our lives. Theundersigned firmly suggests either one or the other, since grayscales type of choices will not work for us at all. The termextreme sometimes can be optimal. See, for instance, NASAseffort in sending an unmanned Rover to Mars. Wasnt thatover-perfection after traveling by means of highly sophisticatedtelemetry some 120 million miles into outer space and a perfectlanding on Mars?

    4.- If we take Bacons wisdom literally, we are exploiting theUPSIDE of our lifes risks. If we dont take Bacons wisdomplainly, we are exploiting the DOWNSIDE of our lifes risks.

    5.- Supporting the Bacon motion there is that of Dr. BertrandRussell. This finest Britton, supporting further Bacons motion(under 2, 3, and 4), indicated: I know more people who prefer todie than to think. Intellectual laziness is a topic heavily studiedand addressed by advanced scientists? Why? Because peopleprefer to commit suicide than thinking, thus making such a terrible

    situation an indispensable matter to be thought through by societyat large. The idea is simply getting people in deep, systematicthinking forever. Ancients Greeks told us about lavishly but weinsist on proving them wrong (which well never get our way!)

    6.- As I really wish to offer you every possibility of hope andoptimism, rigor calls upon me to exhaust the downsides so thatsaid downsides eventually become UPSIDES. Albert Einstein andBuckminster Fuller will be making their great ensuingcontributions. Einstein: It has become appallingly obvious thatOUR TECHNOLOGY HAS EXCEEDED OUR HUMANITY WESHALL REQUIRE A SUBSTANTIALLY NEW MANNER OF

    THINKING IF MANKIND IS TO SURVIVE.

    7.- Supporting Einstein motion, Buckminster Fuller reminds us ofthe following: Either war is obsolete, or men are. Very respectfulopinions that of Russell, Einstein, and Buckminster Fuller. But theGerman philosopher, Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, reiterates thatif we change the present we can change the future, and if wechange the future as well as the way we proactively andqualitatively envision and practice it through futuristic scenariomethods we will be changing the present in fact and takingincreasing control over the negative circumstances that impact usso dramatically. In actuality, we must change both the PRESENTand the FUTURE simultaneously and at once. The PRESENTsvest interest into the FUTURE is too huge not to note itimmediately. Nietzsche, thereby, stated exactly: "Its our futurethat lays down the law of our today." Can a prominent USApresident make a difference and yet further support the Nietzsche

    motion? I think so. Ensuing:

    8.- Theodore Roosevelt, a lifelong and topflight statesmanconcerned about making the best out of his mind and that of hisconstituents, established: "All the resources we need are in themind." Dr. Carl Sagan, notwithstanding acknowledging the

  • 8/14/2019 QUESTION: Are the PAST and PRESENT a sole function of the FUTURE? By Copyright 2010 Andres Agostini

    17/206

    wisdom by Nietzsche and Roosevelt, really wishes making a pointof his own next.

    9.- So Sagan made his motion public, which basically indicates

    that if we embrace serious knowledge progressively, we will buildgreat hope for the world. Without euphemisms, in this caseworld is an analogous term to the people and by/for thepeople worldwide. He said: The greatest danger for the survivalof the present civilization is neither atomic war, nor environmentalpollution, nor the exploitation of natural resources, and norpresent crises. The underlying cause to all of the above is theacceleration of mans obsolescence The only hope seems to

    be an electroshock program to re-instill to the current adults thecompetencies required to function adequately under a mode ofperpetual change. This is a profound need the immeasurablechallenge that is presented by the modern society to adulteducation. Emerson and Wernher von Braun understand Sagan,but Braun really wishes to make a more hopeful and viable point.

    10.- Wernher von Braun offers his great concern about education,which is quite practical to put into a bigger perspective whatSagan has stated. Therefore, Sagan summarized it this way:The average citizen today, of course, has far more scientificinformation at his disposal than did those greatest of intellects ofearlier times. Yet paradoxically, I think that THERE HAS NEVERBEEN A GREATER NEED FOR INCREASEDUNDERSTANDING AND APPRECIATION OF SCIENCE. It hasbeen said that, although the choice of direction for our civilizationwill be determined through democratic process, it is there that the

    problem begins. TO MAKE RATIONAL CHOICES, THEAVERAGE CITIZEN MUST UNDERSTAND THE NATURE ANDROLE OF SCIENCE AT A TIME WHEN ITS BREADTH ANDCOMPLEXITY ARE INCREASING ALMOST EXPONENTIALLY.... Conversely, the scientist, at a time when he can barely keepup to date in his specialty, must not isolate himself in his parochial

    interest. Instead, he should see his profession as a part of thelarger world, to evaluate himself and his work in relation to allforces, especially the humanities, which shape and advancesociety. THE NEED, THEN, IS FOR AN EDUCATIONAL

    PROCESS RESULTING IN MORE SCIENTIFIC LITERACY FORTHE LAYMAN, AND MORE LITERACY IN THE HUMANITIESFOR THE SCIENTISTS .... Man in this scientific age is free onlyto the extent that he has a grasp on himself and his surroundings.FREEDOM THE ABILITY TO SPEAK, THINK, ACT, AND VOTEINTELLIGENTLY is based largely on our ability TO MAKECHOICES growing out of our understanding of the issuesinvolved. With each advance of science, there is an invitation to

    more understanding. This is the essence of the burden borne byall peoples since the dawn of humanity. There must bewidespread understanding of the role of science in modernsociety, both as to its limits and our dependence on its basicfunction as a tool for our survival. This is the imperative forscientific literacy .... How do we encourage scientific literacy? ITHINK THE PROBLEM IS HOW TO INSTILL IN STUDENTS APERMANENT DESIRE TO LEARN. All youth is endowed withcuriosity from the very beginning. What can education process do,not only to keep this natural curiosity alive, but to make it apermanent part of the individual drive? Students should beencouraged, beyond learning facts, to be intrigued by objects andevents in their environment, as well as to become aware of andresponsive in a positive manner to beauty and orderliness in theirenvironment. THEY SHOULD BE TAUGHT TO WILLINGLYSUBJECT THEIR DATA AND IDEAS TO CRITICISM OF THEIRPEERS WHILE ACQUIRING A CRITICAL, QUESTIONING

    ATTITUDE TOWARD INFERENCES, HYPOTHESES ANDTHEORIES. Early in education, they should be led to recognizethe limitations of scientific modes of inquiry and the need foradditional, quite different approaches to the quest for reality ULTIMATELY, THEY SHOULD BE INSTILLED WITH ANAPPRECIATION FOR THE INTERRELATEDNESS OF

    SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETY .... This is essentiallythe scientific method. By learning the scientific method, studentswill understand its role in society and at the same time to think forthemselves. LEARNING TO THINK FOR ONESELF, IN TURN,

    IMPARTS A DEEP SENSE OF FREEDOM. ONCE TESTED, ANAPPETITE FOR IT IS FORMED WHICH MAY WELL ENDURETHROUGHOUT LIFE .... But if our young people are going to gainthe appetite, our schools, our colleges, our universities, must bearan ever greater responsibility. ALL TOO MANY TIMES IN THEPAST, EDUCATION PARTICULARLY IN THE SCIENTIFICDISCIPLINES HAS PLACED EXTREMELY HEAVY EMPHASISON TRANSMITTING THE ESTABLISHED KNOWLEDGE OF

    THE PAST. THERE HAS BEEN A TENDENCY FOR TEACHERSTO ASSIGN, AND TO ENCOURAGE ROTE LEARNING,INSTEAD OF TAKING THE ADMITTEDLY MORE DIFFICULTPATH OF ENCOURAGING STUDENTS TO THINK FORTHEMSELVES ....

    11.- Ralph Waldo Emerson in an attempt to synthesizingBrauns magnificent contribution succinctly yet brilliantly writes:Man hopes; Genius creates. Emerson motion is in its entiretysupported by Charles Darwin, Ignorance more frequently begets

    confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, andnot those who know much, who so positively assert that this orthat problem will never be solved by science. As you make yourknowledge more driven by you and as per the goal, objectives,and results expected from you and by yourself, the smarter youwill become without a fail. The more intelligent you become, the

    much better at solving problems regardless of how simple orcomplex they are youll become more successful in everdimension of life. Becoming truly intelligent is a bit of a strugglebut it also fully winnable, educational, and enjoyable. And in my

    opinion no one can contradict Emerson on such an importanttheme. In some strange form, though with a positive outcome, Dr.Knowles wishes to confirm the exactness of the Emerson motionby using his words in a different way now. In matters of education,I habitually suggest researching the life of Dr. Burrhus FredericSkinner, Education is what survives when what has been learnedhas been forgotten. If we ignore education and above allself-education, we end up ignoring our own survival literally. Dr.

    Henry Kissinger backing Braun, Emerson, and Darwin with hisown words addresses it here: "An ignored issue is an invitationto a problem."

    12.- Dr. Malcolm S. Knowles, Ph.D. stated: The greatest dangerfor the survival of the present civilization is neither atomic war, norenvironmental pollution, nor the exploitation of natural resources,and nor present crises. The underlying cause to all of the above isthe acceleration of mans obsolescence The only hope seemsto be an electroshock program to re-instill to the current adults thecompetencies required to function adequately under a mode ofperpetual change. This is a profound need the immensurablechallenge that is presented by the modern society to adulteducator. This might sound a bit worrying but if we reverse thechallenges he mentions (which are quite reversible by far), wecan prevail. A compatriot of Dr. Knowles, and former president of

    the United States, wishes to offer his insight thus underpinningthe motions by Emerson and Knowles. Practical, actionable,mobilizing, and theoretical education are important because of themeans to overcome and supersede any increasing obstacle asEinstein proved by claiming: "A problem can never be solved atthe same level of knowledge that was created." But if you use the

    highest order level of knowledge systemically, you can win.

    13.- Thomas Jefferson let us know: I prefer the stories of thefuture than history. You see, an indeed conscientious futurist

    always thinks through doing all his risks FIRST to then accede todoing all his futures and the benefits stemming from said futuresSECOND. I believe Jefferson was Americas first, foremost, andmost responsible futurologist. In high spirits and under greatresponsibility, he added: Probable impossibilities are to bepreferred to improbable possibilities.

    14.- Then a great Britton and American came along to support

    Thomas Jefferson motion to the fullest. His name is WinstonSpencer Churchill. Yes, he was Prime Minister of the U.K. andbecame American through an enacted law by the U.S. Congress.And, in his time, Sir Winston Churchill lucidly asserted thefollowing: "The empires of the future are the empires of the mind."In supporting the Churchill motion, Bonaparte asserted:Imagination rules the world. Then, Machado (from Spain) madehis motion in supporting further and yet in a subtle way theChurchill motion.

    15.- Antonio Machado established: An eye is not an eye becauseyou see it; an eye is an eye because it sees you. Going evenfurther than Machado regarding what grants a person themaximum possible own visibility of the world (cosmosvision i.e., weltanschauung), the Panchatantra (body of Easternphilosophical knowledge) offers us a maxim: Knowledge is thetrue organ of sight, not the eyes. Then Bernard d'Espagnat finds

    a middle-ground for the motions by Machado and thePanchatantra by saying: "Even if the Universe is a little myopic istrue that, more than others, MEN OF SCIENCE ARE ITS EYES."

    optimistic point and a word of caution that is fine tuned-up withall of the current work. I am referring to Peter Drucker, Thingsthat have already happened but whose consequences have notbeen realized [because they were not imagined, considered, or

    envisioned by disciplined foresight and far-sight, early on as theirdriving forces were coming together and gaining critical mass] Dont confuse movement with progress. Furthering the Druckerposition, a great American Nobel laureate is bound toamalgamating this motion. I mean James D. Watson, Ph.D.

    17.- Briefly, Napoleon Bonaparte is a much greater activist ofEDUCATION than of waging war. He really makes some points

    that are extremely valuable and timeless. He stated:Education, strictly speaking, has several objectives: one needsto learn how to speak and write correctly, which is generally calledgrammar and belles letters. Each lyceum has provided for thisobject, and there is no well-educated man who has not learnedhis rhetoric .... After the need to speak and write correctly comesthe ability to count and measure. The lyceums have provided thiswith classes in MATHEMATICS embracing arithmetical andMECHANICAL KNOWLEDGE IN THEIR DIFFERENTBRANCHES .... They will continue their [initial] course ofconstruction. In the third class students would pursue theirSTUDIES IN HYDRAULIC ARCHITECTURE, CIVIL and military.They would busy themselves with the most complicated part ofconstruction and LEARN EVERYTHING NECESSARY to directand superintend the construction of a fort. They would takecognizance of the details of foundries, mines, etc. ... This portionof the military art (the same art waged through most surviving,

    competing, and prevailing midsize and large for-a-profitorganizations, those organizations that have taken the hyperbolicstance of war games) is classified among thePHYSIO-MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES, Students havingcompleted one course in mechanics know nearly everything thatthey must understand and apply It is appropriate therefore to

    strive above everything else, and not as one of the foremostfoundations of the instruction, to see that each student executesthe manual of arms and all of the maneuvers of artillery betterthan a veteran soldier, that he is skilled in large practice and HAS

    PERFECT KNOWLEDGE of the employment of artillery Oldsergeants will not be jealous of these young officers when theynever have to teach them anything.

    18.- Watson tells in Charlie Rose show, originally aired in 2009, avery relevant and constructive thought for our greaterenlightenment with hope: "Science gives society a great sense ofdecisive freedom." Watson motion gets amplified by the

    luminescent assertion by Arthur C. Clarke: We have to abandonthe idea that schooling is something restricted to youth. How canit be, in a world where half the things a man knows at 20 are nolonger true at 40 and half of the things he knows at 40 hadntbeen discovered when he was 20? In supporting all motions without being contradictory Otto Herman Khan,German-American whose contributions are beyond the sine quanon quality these days, takes a final pondering by indicating:Clearly, the first task is to gain acceptance of a more reasonableview of the future, one that opens possibilities rather thanforecloses them.

    WRAPPING UP

    British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli staged in the world ofknowledge a wonderful reflection. To this end his contributionsare world-class and numerous. Once known that he was elected

    for public office, a journalist asked him: What will you firstgovernment action be? Disraeli readily responded: I will send mybest friend to Australia. To the antipodes? What for?, the

    journalist asked. So my friends tell me how my administrationhere is seen from there, Disraeli most accurately responded.

    Disraelis intellect was immense. And he also was afuture-frendly type of a prominent large-scale CEO. In hismentioning of Australia, one could playing through seriouscritico-creative thinking envision that Disraeli was actually

    thinking about sending his best friend into the future. So that saidfriend could gain in ample foresight the most reliable feedback(kind-of public opinion ratings) way in advance from the locuswhere the broadest perspective can be gained at the maximumand the easiest and the earliest.

    General Francisco de Miranda an outsider with a Londonersheart, mind, and a British wife in the nineteenth century fighting

    against the Spanish army in the Americas stated a phrase thatgreatly bolsters the brief and yet lucid dialogue held by Disraeliabove. Miranda said: Time is the context by means of whichaction is delivered. In the mean time and proceeding with thecombined and constructive forces of all of the above wisdom, letspay attention to W. Clement Stone who asserted, Aim for themoon. If you miss, you may hit a star.

    fellow.

    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.

    As the FUTURE paraphrases Shakespeares sentence (fears takeaway the good with which we could win) and executes it in thepractice, the PRESENT feels a great animosity against such amaxim and habit.

    The forthcoming FUTURE already scattered among us has a

    lot to offer to the PRESENT, namely an invaluableout-of-this-word-and-time source of narrative and numerical data(unexplored repository knowledge waiting to being seized andadministered by the PRESENT and its inhabitants). Can you thinkof anyone more visionary than the king in his class, the FUTURE?

    The PRESENT, unfortunately, is somehow anecdotal while theFUTURE ruthlessly and relentlessly abides by ever-emergingscientific truths. These truths contained vast gold mines forcreation, recreation, and super-creation, as well as fordevastation. The cultivated brains must root out the endlessdangers to capture the benefits, so humankind prevails on Earthand much more beyond it if the Universe, too, and its ownhyper-dynamics warrants such a license.

    For the first time in history, we can work backward from ourimagination rather than forward from our past. In the midst of

    chaos, there is a learning lesson to assimilate. Sometimes thetable is served for an OVER-LEARNING if the prepared mind ispaying huge attention to the nano-granularity of details. (Andy Andres Agostini, Nov/23/2001, 8:34 p.m. EST).

    Within thirty years, we will have the technological means to

    create superhuman intelligence. Shortly after, the human era willbe ended Is such progress avoidable? If not to be avoided, canevents be guided so that we may survive? These questions areinvestigated. Some possible answers (and some further dangers)are presented

    I just wonder if the FUTURE is always stalking on the PRESENT!Perhaps, it is so. One thing can be ascertained, because of itsnon erudite nature, the FUTURE (the over-ruling) is alwaysfilibustering the PRESENT (the enslaved). (Andy AndresAgostini, Jan/19/2009, 3:17 p.m. EST).

    underestimated." (Andres Agostini, Jan/19/2009, 11:09 p.m.EST).

    To meThe PAST is more like Alice (Alice's Adventures inWonderland). The PRESENT seems more like Mr. Hyde while theFUTURE appears to be more like the conspiracy of Dr. Jekyll andDorian Gray. Perhaps, we will need the combined effort bySherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie to decipher the outright

    enigmas, namely those stemming from thealways-awaited-but-ever-intruding FUTURE. (Andy AndresAgostini, Jan/19/2009, 11:21 p.m. EST).

    Progress is the future outcome of cascades of current momentsflowing divergently. (Andres Agostini, Jan/25/2009, 5:04 p.m.EST).

    The PRESENT is introvert adhocracy as the FUTURE istechnocracy in perpetuum. The PRESENT is an illiterateadhocratic one while the FUTURE is the technocratic, 'omnimode' savant. The PAST is hollow, inconsequential fossils.

    Most business plans are ill-conceived indeed, as they arewritten-up and reckoned with the eyes fixed in prehistory. IF IT ISNOT AN ACTUAL SUB-SET OF A MUCH GREATER ANDTHOROUGH ADVANCED RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY,

    This FUTURE, that throws around its weight through every facetof the PRESENT impiously, might be 99.99% INEVITABLE.Inevitability, in this instance, equates to meaning that it will be a

    rogue dictator, over-ruling capriciously and solely by its way andtaste. The unavoidable consequences of this FUTURE can bemitigated or at least somehow modulated. Evidently, thisFUTUREs UPSIDES can, perhaps, be seized and evenamplified. To meet both requisites, there is one HUGEprerequisite before proceeding any further. That is, that theTOTALITY of HUMANKIND has to converge AT UNISONonthe doubleson the most essentials Herculean tasks to do in

    order to attempt the sustainability of the corresponding civilizationas it is known / perceived now.

    Possibly, this FUTURE will not haveas per the hopes treasuredby all-walks-of-life eyewitnessesa natural tendency.

    Gotten it?

    The PRESENT carries on superfluously. But the FUTURE isover-impregnated and super-immersed with detailed meaning and

    significance and projected transgressively a l omni mode, aswell as with its manifesting tangibly and intangibly pervasiveubiquity.

    Perpetual innovation is a rogue truth to this PRESENT. Thebreadth, depth, scope, and rate of acceleration of this FUTUREsperpetual innovation will be endless, endless so beyond thewildest dream or nightmare ever conceived by the ultimately

    noted or most criticized sci-fi writer. To attribute to this FUTUREsperpetual innovation a quality of far-fetched will be an extremeover-simplification and an existential blunder.

    The PRESENT is a function of the PAST and, above all, afunction of the FUTURE. The PRESENT is a function of the PASTonly in part. Remember: The FUTURE is always pre-clashingand/or clashing the PRESENT, thus continuously shaping andre-shaping the PRESENT to a great extent. The FUTURE is, so tospeak, 30% a function of the PRESENT and 70% a function of theFUTURE itself. The PRESENT is bathed by permanency and bythe quality of being impermanent. The PRESENT is not asnapshot or fixed (static). It is the linkage, superposition, and/orintertwining of many films (multi-fluidly dynamical). Its dynamismgrants itself, the PRESENT, huge ambitions to becoming theFUTURE while trying to capture the here and now mirage, amirage that does not care loosing the sense of ridicule. There are

    too many heres and a myriad of nows.

    Concerning the PRESENT and specially the FUTURE, the greatmajority of people failed considering the possibility of anythinggoing wrong, no matter how remote the location or complexity ofthe implementation environment.

    The PRESENT and the FUTURE engender tsunamis ofCHANGES. When you altered your work because of competitionand/or difficult times, you are CHANGING your professionaloccupation (organizational strategy). When you reflect and modifyyou innermost (and that revolt and commutes while revoltingwithin the innermost), you are CHANGING your essence to someextent. CHANGING your essence to being ADAPTABLE to

    ever-shifting realities. When CHANGE is always altering all typesof CHANGES, the scientific properties of known and unknownchanges get modified, sometimes profoundly. This extrememodification is what I have been referring to CHANGEDCHANGES.

    CHANGED CHANGES make the overwhelming case for beyondunprecedented reinvention of humans, business and lifestyles,organizations, businesses, governments, nongovernmentalorganizations, societies, and worldwide society. In the process,the extreme makeover is in nothing superficial or similar. And thecall is an abrupt wake-up alarm to all sorts of leaders, managers,entrepreneurs, business owners, government administrators,consultants, adviser, strategists, professors, teachers, students,researchers, and any breathing or cryogenized human being.

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

    from and how this impact your current PRESENT. Instead, whatis presently relevant for you to envision are the floating, fluxing,cross-railed FUTURES as they climb the treacherousbuilding-block ladder, the ladder of accumulation of opportunities,challenges, and perplexing, but exuberant, trade-offs. Thesetrade-offs poise the least thinkable of the unthinkable results,

    challenging our body (physiology), mind (psychology), and soul(spirituality). To apply, say, for practical leadership credentials willbe a nearly, though not impossible, insurmountable enterprise forLife.

    How insurmountable? As nearly insurmountable as attempting tohike the Everest cloth-less, equipment-less, ill-prepared, without acrew and the indispensable Sherpa, as you walk and climb towardthe mountains peak with your back focused on the peak andwhile your eyes are grabbed by the starting-point locus. You canalways walk into the FUTURE backwards to revive the fossilizedvestiges of blur/made-up memories that eat your soul out.

    You know what the PAST is? Reply: The eternal flow ofincreasing creative-tension discrepancies between the FUTUREand the PRESENT, encapsulated in a stream of segments fromthe preterit tense kingdom, a kingdom that is neither awaken norsignificant anymore.

    Clearly, the genetics of the human beings will have a notableimpact on the psychology and physiology of the humans until theFUTUREs say. Such a say has a designated due time. By alleffects, the FUTURE is always a representative of three facets.There is the facet of opportunities that we can call UPSIDERISKS. Another facet is that of the likelihood of potentialdisruption. The former impersonates the DOWNSIDE RISK.Thirdly, theres the facet of blended UPSIDE RISKS withDOWNSIDE RISKS. To really get the OPPORTUNITIES theDOWNSIDE RISKS must be terminated or, at least, mitigated and

    modulated.

    Such eternal creative-tension discrepancies as imposed by therogue and nearly ageless interrelationship between the FUTUREand the PRESENTwage a 'preemptive war' to get the PASTunder retirement. These eternal creative-tension discrepancies

    make three major displacements. Firstly, it displaces the PAST toa corner (or quadrant) where vestiges are fossilized but notlooked after. Secondly, it displaces the PRESENT closer to theFUTURE. Thirdly, the FUTURE pulls pervasively the PRESENT

    to the FUTUREs intimate spheres of influence, since thismonarch (the FUTURE) wishes the PRESENT to be the ultimate,loyal subject of the FUTURE. This wish from the FUTURE is tothis monarchical ruler a sine qua non without fail.

    It must be mentioned that interrelationship between the FUTUREand the PRESENT is intense and will become increasingly moreintense, beyond the boldest and lucid imagination without a fail.

    Every human is partly earthling and partly extraterrestrial. Why?Because pre-bio-genesis and bio-genesis was (at least and as itseems) massively instilled from the outer space. (a sub-verse ofthe Multiverse). If extraterrestrial beings existed, they would be, in

    fact, siblings to current humans. How come? Because there areother genesis different from biogenesis on Earth, whether withinour knowledge or not. A genesis does not only take place only onEarth, but in the whole Universe if it is or not under known andunknown modes/assumptions.

    To capture benefits and to extreme-make-over, say, leadershipand to scientifically steward disruption potential, you need to

    understand the PRESENT, the FUTURE, and its frenzyinterrelationship. In making this effort optimumand among otherprerequisiteswe must find out and address two topics. Onetopic has to do with how we reached this PRESENT out of ascattered PASTs technological accomplishment as weconstructed an expanded knowledge repository just by practicingfuture scenarios through radiant foresight, far-sight, hindsight,insight, and innermost-sight.

    Another topic is that insidious habit of the FUTURE in seducingthe as-of-now PRESENTS while the citizens of such PRESENTSmake us agent so many looking-forward changes that set afire theinterrelationship between this PRESENT and this FUTURE. Nowwe know how we got to here, here is the hyper-dynamism offlows, in-flows, counter-flows, avant-garde flows,crossed-pollinated flows, point-inflecting flows.

    this point. To turn savvier on this FUTURE, one must be a geniusin his executions (sic) yoctosecond by yoctosecond.

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

    think unthinkably in relation to present forces and respectivefuturistic trendsboth subtle and dramatic ones as well as thosedriving and marshaling and enforcing just brute-force dramaticonesby means of the practical implementation of scenarioplanning.

    Thereinafter, your unthinkable thinking about FUTURES mustbecome more refined, enhanced, exuberant, streamlined, diverse,

    expanded, and extended. In doing so, it never suffices to come upwith a three-scenario forecast. Subsequently, forecasts mustcarry with you as many plausible or implausible scenarios asresources required never loosing the maximum rigor. Also, nooptimum forecast is great enough if it is not accompanied of anarsenal of plans of contingency. Each scenario crafted must haveits respective, unambiguous plan of contingency without a fail.

    All of this is true for humans from the PAST and the PRESENT.Toward a more advanced timeand by means ofreverse-engineering with the omniscience perspectivethehumans will increasingly be of different constituents and design.

    The PRESENT is always unnecessarily delayed or even lost andabsent-minded because its limits are impermanent andcapabilities are finite. The PRESENT never contemplatesfast-forward-ly, but in reversal in so adding to its even greater

    disadvantage. The FUTURE operates beyond the offensiveacceleration of light speed-plus and nearly without or with zerolimits or constraints or borders.

    The FUTURE is accustomed to spying on the PRESENT. Howcome? The FUTURE is the PRESENTs debriefing one. TheFUTURE is, in many cases a virtuoso, though it at times voyeurs

    the PRESENT. What a horrendous vice! Such deed will NEVERbe tolerated. How do you REHAB the FUTURE? Group therapy?Grouping it with whom?

    The PRESENT is sleepwalking while the FUTURE is child likewondered by daydreaming. In the mean time, the post-modernmodernity is a rush getting more and more modern byunprecedented shock and awe unearthed standards.

    This criss-cross PRESENT will be reconstituted by the continuallycrinkum-crankum FUTURE inevitably. There is going on a terzettoin which the happenings are more or less like this: the PAST(R.I.P), the PRESENT (th dansant), and the FUTURE (tertiumquid). Clearly, the PAST is getting a CPR to be by historians.Earned in his own intellectual right, Jefferson stated: I prefer thedreams of the FUTURE than history.

    The PRESENT is besieged by a bunch of dilettantes and poseurs.The FUTURE isso 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 efficaciousMongols.

    The stream of as-of-now PRESENTS will becometo someextentone of the forthcoming FUTURES. At some point ahead,a PRESENT will be ultimately integrated into a single FUTURE.Such a FUTURE, though, will reach a point in which beingbio-based or bio-related or not in vivo at all will be splendorously

    awaken and active. (March 12, 2009 at 1:34 p.m. EST. By Copyright 2009 Andres Agostini Andy atwww.AgostiniWorks.blogspot.com).

    Regardless of transhumanity, overhumanity, superhumanity,nonhumanity and above and beyond humanity, the hard-coreessential is and will be not being human but becoming and actinghumanely. (March 12, 2009 at 1:58 p.m. EST. By Copyright2009 Andres Agostini Andy atwww.AgostiniWorks.blogspot.com).

    The PRESENTS are from appalling and contentiousinterrelationship between Venus and Mars. The FUTURES areonly from stringent Mars. Go and ask about it Dr. John Gray.

    The FUTURES are supervening upon the PRESENTS incombination 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 itsstaggering brute-force-and-dramatically-subtle INTELLIGENCE.

    The PRESENT pertains to discovering science. The FUTURE isabsolute science dominance and nearly infinite power.

    The PRESENT is always misled and misleading, treasuring a

    great promise of deceit. The FUTURE is eloquently transparentand clear, cripplingin advanceviolators of ethics, morality,principles, integrity, and dignity.

    WRAPPING UPBut 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 futuristicscenario methods we will be changing the present in fact andtaking increasing control over the negative circumstances thatimpact us so dramatically. In actuality, we must change both thePRESENT and the FUTURE simultaneously and at once. ThePRESENTs vest interest into the FUTURE is too huge not to noteit immediately. Nietzsche, thereby, stated exactly: "Its our futurethat lays down the law of our today."
