OBJECTIVE
In this book I have tried to give you a very
practical overview of massive change besieging
our institutions, professions and civilizations
globally, as well as our personas, and how it
can be taken advantage of.

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 (including most universal realpolitik
geopolitics), society (understanding the
granularity of details ingrained in matter-of-
fact demographics), markets, as well as in
regards to emerging science and technology?
Why is this FUTURE different to others? Why is
change so pervasive, massive, ubiquitous and
frenzy? Why is this ever-changing rate of change
different and what are the respective
consequences and sequels affecting our lives?
What are the imperatives we must micro- and
macro-manage to cope to sustainably and
sufficiently prevail? How can we gain a vantage

position and benefit from such futures and
changes? How can we upside strategic perils
along the times to come while simultaneously
downside eventual opportunities, thus
combining both outputted advents into a
maximum optimum adaptation?
Why will this FUTURE unveil the ill and flawed
considerations in greatly hidden, misunderstood
and largely socially engineered fallacies,
assumptions, conventions and beliefs? All of
this actually going staggering universal to
the least extent (both geographically and
demographically), while DARPA greatly to my
gusto and own entertainment is stubbornly
driven to loving defying (defiance) and
disrupting (disruption) in empirical yet
rampant labs immutable classic laws ofphysics every day, literally. DARPA, the entity
that spinned off an agency termed NASA and
magnificent Internet, exhibits a most lucid

maxim: If youre not failing frequently, you
are not succeeding enough.
Can we seriously and professionally (that is,
without deceiving) speak of success capturing
WITHOUT STRONGLY REVIEWING FAILURES AND, ABOVE
ALL, YOUR RIVALS COMPREHENSIVELY AND IN ADVANCE?
Indeed?
Many people have huge difficulty understanding
time progression and the strategic surprises
that said progression fosters sometimes beyond
creative imagination.
It is attributed to Jeff Immelt, GEs current
CEO, the following: post 9/11 is a different
world This tragic milestone alone will play
through times in forceful manners up to actual
time horizons. Reversing or smartly modulatingthe consequences will take a gargantuan effort
by every constituent in Earths civilization,
whether hungry or fulfilled, whether thirsty or

satisfied, whether sophistically educated or
illiterate, whether old or young.
I really hope that those not believing such a
claim to make a thorough understanding quickly.
This material is bound to helping in that
direction and thereby offering unique and
unprecedented insights. [42]
Subsequently, in todays world, timidity and
fear are serious competitive liabilities. Coming
times, upcoming times, forthcoming times, future
times will prove themselves ruthless in the
continuum known as PRESENT without a fail.
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 appreciate time progression and its
beyond geometrical non-linear quality, Can we
establish accurate parallelisms with metaphoric
and not so metaphoric (yet most accurate) terms
to better enlighten our minds with lacking
optimum rigor?
Why do we humans, marshaling through such a
massive technological progression, readily wish
to subject our existence to retrogression by
choosing not to recognize grave and yet subtle
forces that redefine it all?
In the final analysis, the FUTURE is not for the
fainthearted. Stated simply, be it known that
the scale, scope and magnitudes of the FUTURES
are impossible to overstate.

The PRESENT is so playful and nave just gaming
in arenas whose sole proprietor is the omni-mode
ruling monarchical FUTURE.
As the PRESENT carries on just acting serially
(not coping with all simultaneously but just
gradual and in ill randomness), the FUTURE
ascertains every impending deed simultaneously.
In instituting best analyzes and countering the
DOWNSIDES and leveraging the UPSIDES, the
optimum analyzes are those industriously
pondered: 1)pre facto (before the facts), 2) a
priori (a form ofbefore the facts), and 3)pre-
mortem (much before mortem or before post-
mortem).

Back in 1985, as I was starting to manage large
petroleum risks along with the risks embodied
by some forty thousand employees with one
hundred six thousand direct eligible
dependents (refinery, installations, wells,
maritime fleets) including the immense risks
of oil refineries 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 on
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 engaged about the rate of change,
seeing change engendering opportunities and
chaos at the same time and forever.

The driving force was the understanding of howsmall and complex things in life can be so
profoundly modified by just instituting out-of-
this-world common sense (non Thomas Paine
common sense).
To a great extent and since them, I literallystarted a space age race to understanding the
maximum about it (sic).
Some forms of change are amazing and must be
understood at any rate as per my view. For
instance, when things feel less chaotic, it
doesnt mean that there is less chaos.
What it means is that many forms of chaos are
greatly intertwined and, thus, generating a)
mutually-reinforcing energies (productively and
disruptively), b) function and purpose, and c)
and self-preservation for said chaotic system,as their collective selective pressures get
aligned by their own combined valuable orders
(usually multiplied by many orders of
magnitude).

When my father gave me his private library, Ifound 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 Argentinean Dr.
Fernando Chaij in 1956. It is a textbook with
the rigor and strategic end and theme of a bookin the tradition of George Orwell, though it was
fully based on fact, statistics, reflection,
concern and a rectification calling, never
driven by the science-fiction genre.
So many years later I came to a great
understanding (since I believe in the forces of
genotype and phenotype). 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 me, besides
amplifying my brain through education and mind

shaping our personalities, try to foresee every
problem so that you can fix them in advance.
I was raised in a home in which it was much more
important to solve problems before their
crystallizing. Before these findings, I wanted
to know why and how each toy and even 383-inch
(eight-cylinder) Chrysler Fury engine operate,
as well as investigating the possibility of
making those artifact perform better.
Fortunately I am not a prognosticator but I am
always practicing zillion FUTURES in advance
effortlessly. For over some fifteen years these
workings by my mind stop being second natureand became first nature indeed.
For a client or for a serious 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 Arab adage to share with you: That who
foretells the truth lies even if he is telling
the truth.

By extreme systematic and systemic cognition, I
see trends, their intertwining, their
superposing, their interrelationship, and their
possibilities. I also see advantages and
disadvantages and the fruitfulness of tackling
them when it is called for. These extreme
systematically and systemically cognitions, as
expressly exercising both hemispheres of yourbrain, might land me or you to pre-cog
capabilities.
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. In the mean time, and not so
paradoxically, too many valuable minds are
engaged in rogue retrogression as well.
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 Ph.D. and Dr. TerryGrossman M.D. [26], [27], speak habitually of
conquering immortality.
Many serious researchers speak about as living
as you pay and use the one-thousand year
milestone not to make people afraid about
immortality becoming a major reality in the near
future. The aim is immortality per se and not
the thousand years in actuality. In the final
decision, anyone will make its freewill
choice.
There is a valuable thought about the future andits arrival, attributed to Gary Hamel, The
problem with the future is that is different
[since is profound, its scientific properties
are being dramatically changed in real time]. If
you are unable to think differently, the Future
will always arrive as a surprise.Brackets are
mine. [28]
In addition and as it is believed to be
proclaimed by Samuel Goldwyn, Only a fool would
make predictions especially about the future.

Before solving any complex problems, one mustcomprehend the most of them. A cross-function,
multidimensional, scrutinizing womb-to-tomb
vista will be beyond vital. In the execution,
one must operate through many contexts and aided
by a cohesive compilation of a great diversity
of perspectives funneled into a monolithic
unison.
As I paraphrase Dr. Stephen Hawking and to
pursue the former, my express perpetual bottom-
line for Life is the ensuing: My goal is
simple. It is a complete understanding of the
Universe, why it is as it is and why it exists
at all.
In aligning the idea of understanding the nature
of change and the impacts stemming from said
change, former GEs CEO Jack Welch indicated:
Seeing the world the way it is, not the way we
hope it will be or wish it to be. Then, JeffImmelt succeeded Jack Welch and became new GEs
CEO in September 07, 2010. [42]

To further enlighten the present material, Tichy
stated: Jeff Immelt realizes that the world
changes every day and that his job is to keep GE
competitive in that changing world. But his
ability to take the company where it needs to go
is greatly facilitated by the fact that he has a
clear understanding of where he is starting.
[42]
Agreeing greatly with Dr. Hawkinss, Welch also
mentioned, To get to the guts of why things
happen.[42]
There is a mandate in the PRESENT over the
FUTURE by the forces of the FORTHCOMING TIMES.The solid idea about it requires crafting a new
vision, with its appended (loose/tight and
amorphous but concrete) strategy, and aligning
people to it.
Transformation involves not just tearing away
from the PAST, but immediately moving into a new
better future besieged by great perils that must
be transformed into lucrative yet sustainable
UPSIDES.

In speaking to your intellect, as your intellectand mine dialogue fluently, I will appeal to
very legitimate narrative resources to offer you
an accurate insight and perspective of how the
scientific properties of 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 in which vigorous rigor is sine
qua non to the undersigned.
Why will I use the above referred legitimate
narrative resources? Because I feel there is
massive universal and dysfunctional illiteracy
concerning the rate of change.
Even as headlines in hard-copy newspapers
supersede the most creative fantasies embedded
in science fiction, many incumbents just dont
get it. Others are really upset because they
cannot understand why the PRESENT does notresemble the nearest PAST.

Others are paralyzed in the analyzes. And others
manifest an anarchistic tendency towardssociety.
Through centuries, the greatest luminaries have
greatly reflected and recommended not to fight
against extraordinary forces, but to use them
smartly. This time around, with the Kingdom of
the Society of Knowledge ruling as the
prominent Tudor family, one must become a cross-
pollinated savant to navigate the waters shed by
said forces.
The PRESENT seems to be having a great deal of
enjoyment by pontificating words and deedssolely engaged in exponential mediocrity, thus
exploiting the worst of humankind as if it were
the most desired quality. This featured quality
by the PRESENT is pervasively horrendous and
existentially damaging.
On the contrary, the FUTURE is capable, and in
fact it implements so, of doing well to the
point we would astound ourselves. The actual
quotation by Thomas Edison indicates: If we all

did the things we are capable of doing well we
would literally astound ourselves.[44]
As this material will portray, and very much to
the advantage of the subject matter here dealt
with, I carry on all my professional lines of
practice with absolute agreement with Otto
Herman Khan. He actually stated: I'm against
fashionable thinking ... I'm against ignorance
... I am against the whole clich of the moment
... I'm against sloppy, emotional thinking
[43].
In my case, I am also extremely against
superfluous and inexpensive thinking. Itstimely to remembering that humanitys problems
are all related to ignorance. Very soon enough
youll find the rigor, as well as the strong
sense, critico-creative approach, by this
author.

All the notions we thought solid, all the
values of civilized life, all that made for
stability in international relations, all that
made for regularity in the economy in a word,
all that tended happily to limit the uncertainty
of the morrow, all that gave nations and
individuals some confidence in the morrow all
this seems badly compromised. I have consulted
all augurs I could find, of every species, and I
have heard only vague words, contradictory
prophecies, curiously feeble assurances. Never
has humanity combined so much power with so much
disorder, so much anxiety with so many
playthings, so much knowledge with so much
uncertainty
TEXTBOOKS INTRODUCTORY QUOTATIONS BY
ENLIGHTENED MINDS
There is a great deal of publishing about change
and coping with it and its consequences. I have
the firmest belief that there is a huge lack of
understanding how change can change its own
nature. Bacon, ensuing, makes a legendary
quotation about it.

Sir Francis Bacon: He that will not apply new
remedies must expect new evils, for time is the
greatest innovator.[2]
In seriously rigorous thinking, there is an
important maxim to bear in mind at all times. It
establishes: whatever is now working is already
obsolete. In the case of already-forewarned
scientists, this implies to evolve or to
radicalize the evolution of any tangibles or
intangibles.
There is a very important scientific truism to
bear in mind at any cost. It ensues, everything
is connected to everything else.
When evolution gets radicalized in applied
science, a so-called breakthrough takes place.
Therefore, Einstein makes the case now:
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.

One of America and the worlds greatest andmost rigorous intellect with a perspective
embedded in the future. He, Buckminster Fuller,
successfully tackles a continuously and
increasingly puzzling problem. As follows:
Richard Buckminster Fuller reminds us of thefollowing: Either war is obsolete, or men are.

Speaking seriously as I do in the entirety of
this textbook, some scientific research
preliminary yet unconfirmed outcomes and
findings seem to suggest that the future rules
the present. The German philosopher Nietzsche
has his own lucid position.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche: "Its our future
that lays down the law of our today." [6] Its
advantageous to understand what a prominent 120-year-old corporation such as GE is now
considering. This quote is attributed to GEs
current CEO, Jeff Immelt: I have to lead for
tomorrows world.

We cannot solve problems planted in the past.But we can solve problems to come (in the
future). Ergo, former U.S. president Roosevelt
makes a great appeal.
Theodore Roosevelt: "All the resources we need
are in the mind." [7]
It is indispensable to create whatever future
you conceive by yourself. Is there a better tool
than your most cultivated and prepared mind
thinking in unthinkables? Please quit now that
foolish intuitivism la Savannah thinking,
since this is a different temporal locus for
certain. See Emersons take:
Ralph Waldo Emerson writes: Man hopes; Genius
creates.[8]
In order to work for the matters that make us
hope, we must bluntly face the matters that
besiege our own existence, the ones elicited by
us and the ones elicited by the people that we

dont even like. Dr. Knowles, a connoted
American and greatly regarded into adulteducation, has a lucid position that can serve
us as a starting point. Following:
Dr. Malcolm Knowles Ph.D.: 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 allof the above is the acceleration of mans
obsolescence The only hope seems to be an
electroshock program to re-instill to the
present 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 education.
Former Federal Supreme Court Justice Sandra
OConnor gave a brief interview in 2009. She is
mobilized into telling people that children and
youngster must be taught both a) Civics and b)
History. Clearly, having seen so much mistakenpeople led to grave imprisonment sentences,
OConnor indicates that many of the people did
not understand the basics about 1) living
civilly in society, 2) respecting the mandates

of the Law Of The Land, and 3) understanding
where society and, in her case, the U.S. comesfrom (through systematic study of history) to
comprehend where are we likely to go or not.
On education and to this end, Dr. Skinner made
an important point.
Dr. Burrhus Frederic Skinner Ph.D., Educationis what survives when what has been learned has
been forgotten.[9]
We see a host of manufacturers of all types of
products, including automakers and their cars.
In great many cases and as people have been
concerning about being so-called global
winners in their respective industries, they
were adding to their products more and more
features.
That is, they were adding great complexity while
defying that the whole is greater than the sumof the parts.

Evidently, you can add every thinkable
complexity to your products, as long as yougreatly upgrade the scrutinizing vista of the
entirety of the systems and the dynamic
interactions among i) hardware (amplest
meaning), ii) software (amplest meaning), and
iii) humans themselves (both the ones
represented by the manufacturers as well as the
end users).
Since you cannot use the same knowledge
repository in making the features-adding-to-
your-products effort, youd better pay attention
to Einsteins wise words.
Albert Einstein: "A problem can never be
resolved at the same level of knowledge that was
created." [10]
In the seventeenth century Milton made a point
that in my opinion is valid today. In arguing to
free technology, capable of great good but also
of great evil, John Milton (1644) expressed
majestic confidence in our ability to prevail:

Nation it is whereof we are, and whereof ye are

of quick, ingenious, and piercing spirit, acute
to invent, subtle and sinewy to discourse, not
beneath the reach of any point the highest that
human capacity can soar to.[52]
Was Thomas Jefferson Americas first futurist?
He proclaimed:
Thomas Jefferson: I prefer the stories of the
future than history. [11]
Speaking of not changing the current state of
affairs, Dr. Kissinger, especially addressed for
people how to approach this maxim: first,
foremost and never do not harm, (mostly taken
from the Latin sentence: Primum non nocere) by
stating:
Dr. Henry Kissinger addresses: "An ignored issue
is an invitation to a problem." [12]

Drucker was blamed often of self-praising

disciplined foresight and far-sight extending

maximize potential understandings. In order for

TEXTBOOK
To further set the stage for this material, the
textbook Einstein in the Boardroomby Suzanne
S. Harrison and Patrick H. Sullivan Sr. may
offer some lucid ideas on 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]

There are many serious publications, from 2003to this date, speaking of the entirety of
scientific knowledge doubling every five (5)
years. How, then, can one undertake such a
gargantuan challenge, through the Society of
Knowledge, unless it is through the stewardship
of the scientific method?

chemicals and substances (endostatin, leptin,
transfatty acid), for disorders and infectious
agents (Aspergers syndrome, erectile
dysfunction, hantavirus), for treatment
(cocktail, molecular knife, xenotransplant), and
for a variety of creations and discoveries
(designer gene, enteric nervous system,
microsleep). In addition, continuing social
change in postindustrial society has given rise
to expressions that describe new business
practices (buyback, microcredit, reverse
mortgage), a changing workplace (face time, job-
share, mommy track), and evolving political
positions and governmental policies (family
leave, term limit, workfare). New sports terms
have arisen (clap skate, five hole, skyboard),as have words for new educational practices
(charter school, distance learning, homeschool).
The names of foods from other cultures continue
to be adopted (baba gannouj, garam masala,
quesadilla). A host of new cultural developments
has produced a host of new compound cords

variety of specialized fields, including
anthropology, astronomy, genetics, immunology,philosophy, and physics, to name but a few. We
have also gone to great lengths to make our
biological and geographic entries as timely as
possible. Many new biographical entries have
been added, especially in the areas of sports,
music, filmmaking, and literature. To the
geographic entries we have added new country
names, such as Myanmar and the Republic of
Congo, and newly prominent places such as
Kosovo.
The PRESENT resolutely insists on trashing

stays safe and certain that what worked best

mundane miseries, those miseries propelled by
the unkindest humankind without a fail.
THE FUTURE IS ALSO AND ABOVE ALL BESIEGED, BUT

If you must insist, you can study the
melancholic PAST as a distorted prologue primerto 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.

and still impregnated with greater forces and
yet more subtle ones than an ever-increasingsynergy (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 infinitely
swifter, 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

Regardless of your qualitative and quantitative
growth in, say, leadership and success capturing
as well as management, every growth will be
hallow and harmful if it is not first a growth
of ethics and morality.
The FUTURE always wishes to readily equip thepresent 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 declines every helpful
knowledge on emotional intelligence and
political intelligence.
Anyway, and by any rational measure, we are in a
multi-eon-streaming epoch in which mind-
toughness and mind resilience, within kindness
and civility, are going to be far more important

denies and rejects the current existence of the
FUTURE. The signs echo by the FUTURE into thePRESENT 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 andadministered 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.

progress avoidable? If not to be avoided, can
events be guided so that we may survive? These

I just wonder if the FUTURE is always stalking

discontinuous growth rate of it is by most
people immeasurably underestimated and

be more like the joint conspiracy by Dr. Jekyll
and Dorian Gray. Perhaps, we will need thecombined 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 ever-suboptimal comprehension
of the naked human eye.
The PRESENT is introvert adhocracy as the FUTURE
is technocracy in perpetuum. The PRESENT is an

the eyes fixed in prehistory. IF IT IS NOT ANACTUAL SUB-SET OF A MUCH GREATER AND THOROUGH
ADVANCED RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY, THE FIRM WILL

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
engineering, termed 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 overbearingly
and 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. The popular
wisdom so populaced of one thing at a time is
forbidden by the rulings of the incumbent
FUTURES here referred to.
This is not a calling for the snail-paced
multi-tasking either. You do your DOWNSIDES and
UPSIDES simultaneously for Life. Otherwise, one
can never proclaim knowing how systems operate

per se IN UPPER CASE).

In all seriousness, one must decode, de-encrypt
the enigmas of the informative and dis-informative yet hallucinated perception. There
are way too many kinetic hallucinations and
vivid fabrications and pseudo-actual artifices
even in the most lucidly sighted perceptions as
fluidly recorded, in real time, in the most

plainly, because it is being envisioned and
worked-out preter-naturally, this FUTURE mayappear before our naked eyes with extreme
tendencies and directives that evoke the most
extravagant and transhuman mandates.
Can anyone undergo an epiphany in reversal? Long
time ago, speaking of my professional experience
while testing and experimenting, I have reduced
probabilities of having breakthrough
epiphanies to zero, literally. I had envisioned
many Eureka times long time ago and yet in
advance. I do have an immense way to go very
much to my blessed apostlehood.
Those greatly appreciated Alemanic, Germanic
Bavarians speak abundantly about susceptibility
to perfectibility. In my professional quest,
which is my own intellectual challenge of mine
with me, that precept is vastly insufficient.
One must consider that I toy and play with not
only Edisonian Research but also with own self-
induced: a) Serendipities, b) Pseudo-
serendipities, c) Randomized serendipities, d)

Pseudo-randomized serendipities, and e) Pseudo-
randomized serendipities.
For cases a), b), c), and d) I also play a great
deal with channeling the throughput with 1)
directness, 2) indirectness, and 3) a
combination of immediately previous 1) and 2).
All of the above, in further progression of my
testing and experimenting, as well as my fact-
finding and fact-disproving research, I subject
to a gradation (gray scale shading) of i)
loose, ii) control, and a combination of
immediately previous i) and ii).
The terms extravagant and transhuman, inthis case, apply for even the ultimately
leading-edge practitioner of the scientific
realm, either within that eminent establishment,
or those with an unauthenticated citizenship
from the avant-garde renegade-verse. It might be
a genuine deal, it might not?

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 dreams or
nightmares ever conceived by the ultimately
noted or most criticized sci-fi writer.
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. Percentages are arbitrarily
suggested in order to illustrate.

The PRESENT is bathed by the ill-presumed
permanency and by the quality of beingimpermanent. 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 live.
There are too many heres and a myriad of
nows without the utter and indispensable
acknowledgement that the perennial, trembling
gap between the PRESENT and FUTURE generates
many creative tensions, regardless if harvested
or not.
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 consideringthe 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, principally those changes never
thought-through. When you altered your work
because of competition and/or difficult times,
you are CHANGING your professional occupation
(organizational strategy).
The PRESENT has always been used to being a land
at the dawn of history, that history architectedby a bunch of biographies and auto-biographies
by the winners and the prevailing ones without
considering the side of the losing ones or that
of those without partisan positions.
The PRESENTs duties are appended to the FUTURE.
The PRESENTs rights are appended to the PAST.

innermost by using its own proprietary
translational and rotational moves), you areCHANGING your essence to some extent. CHANGING
your essence to being ADAPTABLE to ever-shifting
realities will be your utmost sensible deed.
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 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.

breathing or cryogenized human being.
Welcome to a new normal and a new abnormal.
In all verisimilitude, there are many new
normals and abnormal being the latter,
incidentally, as well within normalness.
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, andperplexing, but exuberant trade-offs. Neither
exuberance nor trade-offs are for the
uncultivated.
These trades-offs poise the least thinkable of
the unthinkable results, challenging our body

(spirit). If you think exuberant is a fancy or
undesirable term, kindly please wait until you
come to meet your FUTURE in person.

You know what the PAST is? Reply: The eternal
flow of increasing creative-tension andcontroversial 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 prospective (and creatively so) given
the eternally-happening inflicting points of
inflections requiring exuberant solving.
Paraphrasing Ray Kurzweil [1], as order fromFUTURE exponentially increases, designated time
exponentially and incessantly speeds up by ever-
increasing orders of magnitude.
The PRESENT is just a fluid venue progressively
bumped and shocked by the interactions between
the unfortunately fossilized PAST and the FUTURE
through the intermediation of the so-called
PRESENT.

Clearly, the genetics of the human beings will
have a notable impact on the psychology andphysiology of the humans until the FUTUREs say,
wanted or not, like it or not. 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. Those DOWNSIDE RISKS must be brought
under optimum control as per the technical
parlance I employ.

Successful and tough, subtle, refined, granular
reverse-engineering captures breakthrough
innovations for the PRESENT and from the
FUTUREs dominion. Reverse-engineering all
regardless of its origins, terrestrial or
extraterrestrial. Come to think of it and
conclude that both a) all and b) everything is
primordially and ultimately extraterrestrial.
In the last analysis, everything is terrestrial
and exo-terrestrial. This is important 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. [47].

The Universe is a function of the Multiverse.
Perhaps, the Multiverse is a function of mostknown and chiefly unknown forms of utmost
conscientious awareness and supremely lucid
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 differentfrom 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 crystallize), you need to
understand the PRESENT, the FUTURE, and its

frenzy interrelationship. In making this effort
optimum and among other prerequisites wemust 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
knowledge repository just by practicing future
scenarios through radiant foresight, far-sight,
hindsight, insight, and innermost-sight.
The most reasoned foresight and far-sight, sine
qua non to recalling the FUTURE, is only a
function of 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 planted 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 by
yoctosecond, which is one septillionth (10-24) of
a second. [48]
Then, s/he has to make the greatest effort of
all, that is, to think unthinkably in relation
to present forces and pertaining to futuristic
trends both subtle and dramatic ones as well
as those driving and marshaling and enforcing

just brute-force dramatic ones by means of the
practical implementation of scenario 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 (not even with the prehistoric
compounded 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 plans of contingency
without a fail.

All of this is true for humans from the PAST and
the PRESENT. Towards a more advanced time andby 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 of purpose and
function simultaneously.
We will become more intimate with our
eternally ignored relationship with atomic and
sub-atomic particles (not to get me involved in
dark matter and divine or Gods matter).
The PRESENT is always unnecessarily delayed oreven lost and inattentive because its limits are
impermanent and available 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 acceleration of light
speed-plus and nearly without or with zero
limits or constraints or borders.

means?

terzetto in which the happenings are more or
less like this: the PAST (R.I.P), the PRESENT
