PRESENT Versus FUTURE? Or FUTURE Versus PRESENT?

: A
Radical Yet Rigorous Approach To Understanding The
Complexities and Subtleties Of The Driving Forces Of Change In
Century 21 -- By Andres Agostini at

Evelyn Lindner: “Pessimism is a luxury of good times In difficult


times, pessimism is a self-fulfilling, self-inflicted death sentence.”

The FUTURE always wishes to readily equip the present with


novel information. Why? Because the FUTURE considers the
PRESENT a failed stated in the realm of time, and does not
desire to get implicated with the downsides of a sub-optimal
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 Shakespeare’s 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-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 think
of anyone more visionary than the king in his class, the FUTURE?

The PRESENT, unfortunately, is somehow anecdotal while the


FUTURE ruthlessly and relentlessly abides by ever-emerging
scientific truths. These truths contained vast gold mines for
creation, recreation, and super-creation, as well as for
devastation. The cultivated brains must root out the endless
dangers to capture the benefits, so humankind prevails on Earth
and much more beyond it if the Universe, too, –and its own
hyper-dynamics– warrants such a license.

For the first time in history, we can work backward from our
imagination rather than forward from our past. “In the midst of
chaos, there is a learning lesson to assimilate. Sometimes the
table is served for an OVER-LEARNING if the prepared mind is
paying 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 ‘terra


incognita’ territory, chiefly because of its sheer number of
unknown knowns.” By Copyright 2009 Andres Agostini (Andy),
Friday, May/08/2008 + Arlington, Virginia, USA

The term singularity entered the popular science culture with the
1993 presentation at NASA-sponsored conference of a seminal
paper by San Diego State University statistician Vernor Vinge.
The abstract of the famous essay is as daunting today as it was
more than a decade ago: Permalink:
http://www.ArchSingularity.blogspot.com

“Within thirty years, we will have the technological means to


create superhuman intelligence. Shortly after, the human era will
be ended EIs such progress avoidable? If not to be avoided, can
events be guided so that we may survive? These questions are
investigated. Some possible answers (and some further dangers)
are presentedE”

“I just wonder if the FUTURE is always stalking on the PRESENT!


Perhaps, it is so. One thing can be ascertained, because of its
non erudite nature, the FUTURE (the over-ruling) is always
filibustering the PRESENT (the enslaved).” (Andy – Andres
Agostini, Jan/19/2009, 3:17 p.m. EST).

Andres Agostini: “these days—meaning: these seconds—the


totality of all is in the making perpetyually. That to be ‘in the
making’ made—at this time—is relentlessly thought of and
thought through way in advance. This is a technique to
CURRENTLY get your brains over-insourced by zillion, practiced
futuristic scenarios.” (Andy – Andres Agostini, Jan/17/2009, 10:21
p.m. EST).

"The FUTURE WILL HIT the PRESENT AND ITS RESPECTIVE


GROUND, RUNNING. All of that as it has been seen up to the
present time. This is a hyper-accelerated Eon s-streaming Age
and ever-increasingly by a above and beyond an over-exponential
factor. Said ‘over-exponential factor,’ even when multiplied by
many orders of magnitudes as in effect it is, the non-linear
geometrical growth of it is by most people immeasurably
underestimated." – (Andres Agostini, Jan/19/2009, 11:09 p.m.
EST).

“To me–The PAST is more like Alice (Alice's Adventures in


Wonderland). The PRESENT seems more like Mr. Hyde while the
FUTURE appears to be more like the conspiracy of Dr. Jekyll and
Dorian Gray. Perhaps, we will need the combined effort by
Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie to decipher the outright
enigmas, namely those stemming from the
always-awaited-but-ever-intruding FUTURE.” – (Andy – Andres
Agostini, Jan/19/2009, 11:21 p.m. EST).

“Progress is the future outcome of cascades of ‘current moments’


flowing divergently.” – (Andres Agostini, Jan/25/2009, 5:04 p.m.
EST).

The PRESENT is introvert adhocracy as the FUTURE is


technocracy in perpetuum. The PRESENT is an illiterate
adhocratic one while the FUTURE is the technocratic, 'omni
mode' savant. The PAST is hollow, inconsequential fossils.

Most business plans are ill-conceived indeed, as they are


written-up and reckoned with the eyes fixed in prehistory. IF IT IS
NOT AN ACTUAL SUB-SET OF A MUCH GREATER AND
THOROUGH ADVANCED RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY,
THE FIRM WILL MEET GARGANTUAN CHALLENGES.
Otherwise, there will be great opportunities! One end of the
greatest 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 facet
of 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 and
taste. The unavoidable consequences of this FUTURE can be
mitigated or at least somehow modulated. Evidently, this
FUTURE’s UPSIDES can, perhaps, be seized and even
amplified. To meet both requisites, there is one HUGE
prerequisite before proceeding any further. That is, that the
TOTALITY of HUMANKIND has to converge AT UNISON—‘on
the doubles’—on the most essentials Herculean tasks to do in
order to attempt the sustainability of the corresponding civilization
as it is known / perceived now.

Possibly, this FUTURE will not have—as per the hopes treasured
by all-walks-of-life eyewitnesses—a ‘natural tendency.’ Stated
plainly, because it is being envisioned and worked-out
preternaturally, this FUTURE may appear – before our naked
eyes – with extreme tendencies and directives that evoke the
most extravagant and transhuman mandate. The terms
“extravagant” and “transhuman,” in this case, apply for even the
ultimately leading-edge practitioner of the scientific realm, either
within the eminent establishment, or those with an
unauthenticated 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 THE


maximum MONARCH OF TECHNOCRACY by his own right,
Remember? Yes, yes, yes—I know. Technocracy, the gentleman,
just espoused a lady with an appalling temperament that looses
composure oft, even before the state’s visits by the Holly Pope.
Her fist name is “Global.” Her surname is “Crises.” That’s the
reason why this “power couple” has made Sir Francis Bacon a
best-selling icon, “FOR TIME IS THE GREATEST INNOVATOR.”
Gotten it?

The PRESENT carries on superfluously. But the FUTURE is


over-impregnated and super-immersed with detailed meaning and
significance and projected transgressively a là ‘omni mode,’ as
well as with its manifesting tangibly and intangibly pervasive
ubiquity.

Perpetual innovation is a rogue truth to this PRESENT. The


breadth, depth, scope, and rate of acceleration of this FUTURE’s
perpetual innovation will be endless, endless so beyond the
wildest dream or nightmare ever conceived by the ultimately
noted or most criticized sci-fi writer. To attribute to this FUTURE’s
perpetual innovation a quality of far-fetched will be an extreme
over-simplification and an existential blunder.

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


function of the FUTURE. The PRESENT is a function of the PAST
only in part. Remember: The FUTURE is always pre-clashing
and/or clashing the PRESENT, thus continuously shaping and
re-shaping the PRESENT to a great extent. The FUTURE is, so to
speak, 30% a function of the PRESENT and 70% a function of the
FUTURE itself. The PRESENT is bathed by permanency and by
the quality of being impermanent. The PRESENT is not a
snapshot or fixed (static). It is the linkage, superposition, and/or
intertwining of many films (multi-fluidly dynamical). Its dynamism
grants itself, the PRESENT, huge ambitions to becoming the
FUTURE while trying to capture the ‘here and now’ mirage, a
mirage that does not care loosing the sense of ridicule. There are
too many ‘heres’ and a myriad of ‘nows.’

The PRESENT is always infinite, unless its interrelationship with


the FUTURE stops. The FUTURE is never endless unless a great
anomaly takes place.

Concerning the PRESENT and specially the FUTURE, the great


majority of people failed considering the possibility of anything
going wrong, no matter how remote the location or complexity of
the implementation environment.

The PRESENT and the FUTURE engender tsunamis of


CHANGES. When you altered your work because of competition
and/or difficult times, you are CHANGING your professional
occupation (organizational strategy). When you reflect and modify
you innermost (and that revolt and commutes while revolting
within the innermost), you are CHANGING your essence to some
extent. CHANGING your essence to being ADAPTABLE to
ever-shifting realities. When CHANGE is always altering all types
of CHANGES, the scientific properties of known and unknown
changes get modified, sometimes profoundly. This extreme
modification is what I have been referring to ‘CHANGED
CHANGES.’

CHANGED CHANGES make the overwhelming case for ‘beyond


unprecedented’ reinvention of humans, business and lifestyles,
organizations, businesses, governments, nongovernmental
organizations, societies, and worldwide society. In the process,
the extreme makeover is in nothing superficial or similar. And the
call is an abrupt wake-up alarm to all sorts of leaders, managers,
entrepreneurs, business owners, government administrators,
consultants, 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, what
is presently relevant for you to envision are the floating, fluxing,
cross-railed FUTURES as they climb the treacherous
building-block ladder, the ladder of accumulation of opportunities,
challenges, and perplexing, but exuberant, trade-offs. These
trade-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 will
be a nearly, though not impossible, insurmountable enterprise for
Life.

How insurmountable? As nearly insurmountable as attempting to


hike the Everest cloth-less, equipment-less, ill-prepared, without a
crew and the indispensable Sherpa, as you walk and climb toward
the mountain’s peak with your back focused on the peak and
while your eyes are grabbed by the starting-point locus. You can
always walk into the FUTURE backwards to revive the fossilized
vestiges of blur/made-up memories that eat your soul out.

You know what the PAST is? Reply: The eternal flow of
increasing creative-tension discrepancies between the FUTURE
and the PRESENT, encapsulated in a stream of segments from
the ‘preterit tense’ kingdom, a kingdom that is neither awaken nor
significant anymore.

Clearly, the genetics of the human beings will have a notable


impact on the psychology and physiology of the humans until the
FUTURE’s say. Such a say has a designated ‘due time.’ By all
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, there’s the facet of blended UPSIDE RISKS with
DOWNSIDE RISKS. To really get the OPPORTUNITIES the
DOWNSIDE RISKS must be terminated or, at least, mitigated and
modulated.

Such eternal creative-tension discrepancies — as imposed by the


rogue and nearly ageless interrelationship between the FUTURE
and the PRESENT—wage a 'preemptive war' to get the PAST
under retirement. These eternal creative-tension discrepancies
make three major displacements. Firstly, it displaces the PAST to
a corner (or quadrant) where vestiges are fossilized but not
looked after. Secondly, it displaces the PRESENT closer to the
FUTURE. Thirdly, the FUTURE pulls pervasively the PRESENT
to the FUTURE’s intimate spheres of influence, since this
monarch (the FUTURE) wishes the PRESENT to be the ultimate,
loyal subject of the FUTURE. This wish from the FUTURE is to
this monarchical ruler a sine qua non without fail.

It must be mentioned that interrelationship between the FUTURE


and the PRESENT is intense and will become increasingly more
intense, beyond the boldest and lucid imagination without a fail.

Mother Nature is a great and loving and noble matriarch. The


Universe is the oldest and wisest Patriarch, perhaps the elder son
of the greatest intelligence of all. The Multiverse (many universes
with, at the same time, many dimensions) is not only the
maximum, all-enabling Patriarch, but also a pervasive Patrician
holding the greatest intelligence, wealth, perhaps the elder son of
applied omniscience, nanotechnology, biotechnology, robotics,
and A.I. (artificial intelligence).
Successful and tough/subtle/refined/granular reverse-engineering
captures breakthrough innovations for the PRESENT’ and from
the FUTURE’s dominion. Reverse-engineer all regardless of its
origins, terrestrial or extraterrestrial. This is important to bear in
mind. Terrestrial or extraterrestrial, what a friutless arguement as
that of the sex of the angels, is ultimately tutelaged by the
Multiverse (period).

Successful and tough reverse-engineering captures breakthrough


innovations for the PRESENT’ and from the FUTURE’s 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 it
seems) massively instilled from the outer space. (a sub-verse of
the Multiverse). If extraterrestrial beings existed, they would be, in
fact, siblings to current humans. How come? Because there are
other genesis different from biogenesis 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, you need to
understand the PRESENT, the FUTURE, and its frenzy
interrelationship. In making this effort optimum—and among other
prerequisites—we must find out and address two topics. One
topic has to do with how we reached this PRESENT out of a
scattered PAST’s technological accomplishment as we
constructed an expanded knowledge repository just by practicing
future scenarios through radiant foresight, far-sight, hindsight,
insight, and innermost-sight.
Another topic is that insidious habit of the FUTURE in seducing
the as-of-now PRESENTS while the citizens of such PRESENTS
make us agent so many looking-forward changes that set afire the
interrelationship between this PRESENT and this FUTURE. Now
we know how we got to ‘here’, ‘here’ is the hyper-dynamism of
flows, in-flows, counter-flows, avant-garde flows,
crossed-pollinated flows, point-inflecting flows. “As-of-now”
exactly refers to the PRESENT-FUTURE’s own tête-à-tête.

‘Here’, while in the PAST, was a bit statistical but never really so.
The so-called ‘here’ is undergoing a total immersion of
numberless processes, throughputs, transactions, deeds, etc.
‘Here’ has always been mobilized. ‘Now’ is motorized at a rate
that is beyond awe-inspiring. We just got the ‘now’ about right to
this point. To turn savvier on this FUTURE, one must be a genius
in his executions (sic) yoctosecond by yoctosecond.

Then, he / she has to make the greatest effort of all, that is, to
think unthinkably in relation to present forces and respective
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.

Thereinafter, your unthinkable thinking about FUTURES must


become more refined, enhanced, exuberant, streamlined, diverse,
expanded, and extended. In doing so, it never suffices to come up
with a three-scenario forecast. Subsequently, forecasts must
carry with you as many plausible or implausible scenarios as
resources required never loosing the maximum rigor. Also, no
optimum forecast is great enough if it is not accompanied of an
arsenal of plans of contingency. Each scenario crafted must have
its respective, unambiguous plan of contingency without a fail.

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

The PRESENT is always unnecessarily delayed or even lost and


absent-minded because its limits are impermanent and
capabilities are finite. The PRESENT never contemplates
fast-forward-ly, but in reversal in so adding to its even greater
disadvantage. The FUTURE operates beyond the offensive
acceleration of ‘light speed’-plus and nearly without or with zero
limits or constraints or borders. The FUTURE is the Napoleonic
Emperor that does everything only under its own terms, exploiting
every advantage and disadvantage to its lucrative well-being and
omni-ruling.

The FUTURE is accustomed to spying on the PRESENT. How


come? The FUTURE is the PRESENT’s debriefing one. The
FUTURE is, in many cases a virtuoso, though it at times voyeurs
the PRESENT. What a horrendous vice! Such deed will NEVER
be tolerated. How do you REHAB the FUTURE? Group therapy?
Grouping it with whom?

The PRESENT is sleepwalking while the FUTURE is ‘child like’


wondered by daydreaming. In the mean time, the post-modern
modernity is a rush getting more and more modern by
unprecedented ‘shock and awe’ unearthed standards.

This criss-cross PRESENT will be reconstituted by the continually


crinkum-crankum FUTURE inevitably. There is going on a terzetto
in which the happenings are more or less like this: the PAST
(R.I.P), the PRESENT (thé dansant), and the FUTURE (tertium
quid). Clearly, the PAST is getting a CPR to be by historians.
Earned in his own intellectual right, Jefferson stated: “I prefer the
dreams of the FUTURE than history.”
Who would dare not to appreciate that nanotechnology,
biotechnology, bionics, and artificial intelligence making deep and
steep inroads? Incidentally, the definition of the omniscience
perspective can be revised at www.AllSciCzar.blogspot.com as
well.

The PRESENT is an absent-minded sardine while the FUTURE is


giant cuttlefish in conspiracy with an octopus.

Ying and Yang have combined forces of subtle and dramatic


origin. These days the PRESENT is a bit like a
pseudo-harmonized Ying-Yang relationship. The FUTURE is only
about Yang deeds.

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


The FUTURE is—so to speak—à la Sir Francis Drake.

The PRESENT is more like Huckleberry Finn while the FUTURE


is perhaps the archetype of Genghis Khan and his efficacious
Mongols.

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


extent—one of the forthcoming FUTURES. At some point ahead,
a PRESENT will be ultimately integrated into a single FUTURE.
Such a FUTURE, though, will reach a point in which being
bio-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 ©

Regardless of transhumanity, overhumanity, superhumanity,


nonhumanity and ‘above and beyond’ humanity, the hard-core
essential is and will be not being human but becoming and acting
humanely. (March 12, 2009 at 1:58 p.m. EST. By © Copyright
2009 Andres Agostini ‘Andy’ at
www.AgostiniWorks.blogspot.com).

The PRESENTS are from appalling and contentious


interrelationship between Venus and Mars. The FUTURES are
only from stringent Mars. Go and ask about it Dr. John Gray.

The FUTURES are supervening upon the PRESENTS in


combination with the ruthless forces possess by the own
FUTURES.

The PRESENT concerns the animal and vegetable kingdoms.


The FUTURE is only about beyond post-humanity and its
staggering brute-force-and-dramatically-subtle INTELLIGENCE.

The PRESENT pertains to discovering science. The FUTURE is


absolute science dominance and nearly infinite power.

The PRESENT is always misled and misleading, treasuring a


great promise of deceit. The FUTURE is eloquently transparent
and clear, crippling—in advance—violators of ethics, morality,
principles, integrity, and dignity.

WRAPPING UP
But the German philosopher, Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche,
reiterates that if we change the present we can change the future,
and if we change the future – as well as the way we proactively
and qualitatively envision and practice it through futuristic
scenario methods – we will be changing the present in fact and
taking increasing control over the negative circumstances that
impact us so dramatically. In actuality, we must change both the
PRESENT and the FUTURE simultaneously and at once. The
PRESENT’s vest interest into the FUTURE is too huge not to note
it immediately. Nietzsche, thereby, stated exactly: "It’s our future
that lays down the law of our today."

OBJECTIVE

Emerson indicates that educators do not educate but offer the


means of education. I am not trying to educate anyone but myself
through these lines. However, most of my wisest colleagues and
thoughtful friends are seeking relevant contents. Relevant
contents that prove interesting in entertaining their legitimately
hungriest minds as they mean well in every purpose. All citations
here are accurate to the best of my knowledge. Not even for
educational purposes have them been simplified or modified in
any way since it is neither my duty nor my nature as of now.
Subsequently, quotations have been kept intact and in the state
that they have become available to me.
1.- First off, we must establish universal acceptance of the
greatest axiom of all times pertaining to the subject matter to be
dealt with now. Said axiom establishes: “An ounce of prevention
is worth millions of dollars of cure.” In the West we are
over-working at the “cure” while under-working at the “prevention.”

2.- Having spoken of prevention, let’s now chat about preventive


medicine by using the greatest wisdom of Sir Francis Bacon: “He
that will not apply new remedies must expect new evils, for time is
the greatest innovator.”

3.- Okay, Bacon has spoken loud and clear. People who listen to
him benefits greatly. Those who don’t are in shock, bewilderment,
and even undergoing times of struggle regardless of the Era. We
have the choice to ignore his extreme wisdom or we can accept
and practice it thoroughly in every facet of our lives. The
undersigned firmly suggests either one or the other, since “gray
scales” type of choices will not work for us at all. The term
“extreme” sometimes can be optimal. See, for instance, NASA’s
effort in sending an unmanned Rover to Mars. Wasn’t that
over-perfection after traveling – by means of highly sophisticated
telemetry – some 120 million miles into outer space and a perfect
landing on Mars?

4.- If we take Bacon’s wisdom literally, we are exploiting the


UPSIDE of our life’s risks. If we don’t take Bacon’s wisdom
plainly, we are exploiting the DOWNSIDE of our life’s risks.

5.- Supporting the Bacon motion there is that of Dr. Bertrand


Russell. This finest Britton, supporting further Bacon’s motion
(under 2, 3, and 4), indicated: “I know more people who prefer to
die than to think.” Intellectual laziness is a topic heavily studied
and addressed by advanced scientists? Why? Because people
prefer to commit suicide than thinking, thus making such a terrible
situation an indispensable matter to be thought through by society
at large. The idea is simply getting people in deep, systematic
thinking forever. Ancients Greeks told us about lavishly but we
insist on proving them wrong (which we’ll never get our way!)

6.- As I really wish to offer you every possibility of hope and


optimism, rigor calls upon me to exhaust the downsides so that
said downsides eventually become UPSIDES. Albert Einstein and
Buckminster Fuller will be making their great ensuing
contributions. Einstein: “It has become appallingly obvious that
OUR TECHNOLOGY HAS EXCEEDED OUR HUMANITY E WE
SHALL REQUIRE A SUBSTANTIALLY NEW MANNER OF
THINKING IF MANKIND IS TO SURVIVE.”

7.- Supporting Einstein motion, Buckminster Fuller reminds us of


the following: “Either war is obsolete, or men are.” Very respectful
opinions that of Russell, Einstein, and Buckminster Fuller. But the
German philosopher, Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, reiterates that
if we change the present we can change the future, and if we
change the future – as well as the way we proactively and
qualitatively envision and practice it through futuristic scenario
methods – we will be changing the present in fact and taking
increasing control over the negative circumstances that impact us
so dramatically. In actuality, we must change both the PRESENT
and the FUTURE simultaneously and at once. The PRESENT’s
vest interest into the FUTURE is too huge not to note it
immediately. Nietzsche, thereby, stated exactly: "It’s our future
that lays down the law of our today." Can a prominent USA
president make a difference and yet further support the Nietzsche
motion? I think so. Ensuing:

8.- Theodore Roosevelt, a lifelong and topflight statesman


concerned about making the best out of his mind and that of his
constituents, established: "All the resources we need are in the
mind." Dr. Carl Sagan, notwithstanding acknowledging the
wisdom by Nietzsche and Roosevelt, really wishes making a point
of his own next.

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


that if we embrace serious knowledge progressively, we will build
great hope for the world. Without euphemisms, in this case
“world” is an analogous term to “the people” and “by/for the
people” worldwide. He said: “The greatest danger for the survival
of the present civilization is neither atomic war, nor environmental
pollution, nor the exploitation of natural resources, and nor
present crises. The underlying cause to all of the above is the
acceleration of man’s obsolescence E The only hope seems to
be an electroshock program to re-instill to the current adults the
competencies required to function adequately under a mode of
perpetual change. This is a profound need – the immeasurable
challenge – that is presented by the modern society to adult
education.” 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 what
Sagan has stated. Therefore, Sagan summarized it this way:
“EThe average citizen today, of course, has far more scientific
information at his disposal than did those greatest of intellects of
earlier times. Yet paradoxically, I think that THERE HAS NEVER
BEEN A GREATER NEED FOR INCREASED
UNDERSTANDING AND APPRECIATION OF SCIENCE. It has
been said that, although the choice of direction for our civilization
will be determined through democratic process, it is there that the
problem begins. TO MAKE RATIONAL CHOICES, THE
AVERAGE CITIZEN MUST UNDERSTAND THE NATURE AND
ROLE OF SCIENCE AT A TIME WHEN ITS BREADTH AND
COMPLEXITY ARE INCREASING ALMOST EXPONENTIALLY
.... Conversely, the scientist, at a time when he can barely keep
up to date in his specialty, must not isolate himself in his parochial
interest. Instead, he should see his profession as a part of the
larger world, to evaluate himself and his work in relation to all
forces, especially the humanities, which shape and advance
society. THE NEED, THEN, IS FOR AN EDUCATIONAL
PROCESS RESULTING IN MORE SCIENTIFIC LITERACY FOR
THE LAYMAN, AND MORE LITERACY IN THE HUMANITIES
FOR THE SCIENTISTS .... Man in this scientific age is free only
to the extent that he has a grasp on himself and his surroundings.
FREEDOM – THE ABILITY TO SPEAK, THINK, ACT, AND VOTE
INTELLIGENTLY – is based largely on our ability TO MAKE
CHOICES growing out of our understanding of the issues
involved. With each advance of science, there is an invitation to
more understanding. This is the essence of the burden borne by
all peoples since the dawn of humanity. There must be
widespread understanding of the role of science in modern
society, both as to its limits and our dependence on its basic
function as a tool for our survival. This is the imperative for
scientific literacy .... How do we encourage scientific literacy? I
THINK THE PROBLEM IS HOW TO INSTILL IN STUDENTS A
PERMANENT DESIRE TO LEARN. All youth is endowed with
curiosity from the very beginning. What can education process do,
not only to keep this natural curiosity alive, but to make it a
permanent part of the individual drive? E Students should be
encouraged, beyond learning facts, to be intrigued by objects and
events in their environment, as well as to become aware of and
responsive in a positive manner to beauty and orderliness in their
environment. THEY SHOULD BE TAUGHT TO WILLINGLY
SUBJECT THEIR DATA AND IDEAS TO CRITICISM OF THEIR
PEERS WHILE ACQUIRING A CRITICAL, QUESTIONING
ATTITUDE TOWARD INFERENCES, HYPOTHESES AND
THEORIES. Early in education, they should be led to recognize
the limitations of scientific modes of inquiry and the need for
additional, quite different approaches to the quest for reality E
ULTIMATELY, THEY SHOULD BE INSTILLED WITH AN
APPRECIATION FOR THE INTERRELATEDNESS OF
SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETY .... This is essentially
the scientific method. By learning the scientific method, students
will understand its role in society and at the same time to think for
themselves. LEARNING TO THINK FOR ONESELF, IN TURN,
IMPARTS A DEEP SENSE OF FREEDOM. ONCE TESTED, AN
APPETITE FOR IT IS FORMED WHICH MAY WELL ENDURE
THROUGHOUT LIFE .... But if our young people are going to gain
the appetite, our schools, our colleges, our universities, must bear
an ever greater responsibility. ALL TOO MANY TIMES IN THE
PAST, EDUCATION – PARTICULARLY IN THE SCIENTIFIC
DISCIPLINES – HAS PLACED EXTREMELY HEAVY EMPHASIS
ON TRANSMITTING THE ESTABLISHED KNOWLEDGE OF
THE PAST. THERE HAS BEEN A TENDENCY FOR TEACHERS
TO ASSIGN, AND TO ENCOURAGE ROTE LEARNING,
INSTEAD OF TAKING THE ADMITTEDLY MORE DIFFICULT
PATH OF ENCOURAGING STUDENTS TO THINK FOR
THEMSELVES .... THE MAINSPRING OF SCIENCE IS
CURIOSITY. SINCE TIME IMMEMORIAL, THERE HAVE
ALWAYS BEEN MEN AND WOMEN WHO FELT A BURNING
DESIRE TO KNOW WHAT WAS UNDER THE ROCK, BEYOND
THE HILLS, ACROSS THE OCEANS. THIS RESTLESS BREED
NOW WANT TO KNOW WHAT MAKES AN ATOM WORK,
THROUGH WHAT PROCESS LIFE REPRODUCES ITSELF, OR
WHAT IS THE GEOLOGICAL HISTORY OF THE MOON.”

11.- Ralph Waldo Emerson – in an attempt to synthesizing


Braun’s magnificent contribution – succinctly yet brilliantly writes:
“Man hopes; Genius creates.” Emerson motion is in its entirety
supported by Charles Darwin, “Ignorance more frequently begets
confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and
not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or
that problem will never be solved by science.” As you make your
knowledge more driven by you and as per the goal, objectives,
and results expected from you and by yourself, the smarter you
will become without a fail. The more intelligent you become, the
much better at solving problems – regardless of how simple or
complex they are – you’ll become more successful in ever
dimension of life. Becoming truly intelligent is a bit of a struggle
but it also fully winnable, educational, and enjoyable. And in my
opinion no one can contradict Emerson on such an important
theme. In some strange form, though with a positive outcome, Dr.
Knowles wishes to confirm the exactness of the Emerson motion
by using his words in a different way now. In matters of education,
I habitually suggest researching the life of Dr. Burrhus Frederic
Skinner, ˝Education is what survives when what has been learned
has been forgotten.” If we ignore education and above all
self-education, we end up ignoring our own survival literally. Dr.
Henry Kissinger – backing Braun, Emerson, and Darwin with his
own words –addresses it here: "An ignored issue is an invitation
to a problem."

12.- Dr. Malcolm S. Knowles, Ph.D. stated: “The greatest danger


for the survival of the present civilization is neither atomic war, nor
environmental pollution, nor the exploitation of natural resources,
and nor present crises. The underlying cause to all of the above is
the acceleration of man’s obsolescence E The only hope seems
to be an electroshock program to re-instill to the current adults the
competencies required to function adequately under a mode of
perpetual change. This is a profound need – the immensurable
challenge – that is presented by the modern society to adult
educator.” This might sound a bit worrying but if we reverse the
challenges he mentions (which are quite reversible by far), we
can prevail. A compatriot of Dr. Knowles, and former president of
the United States, wishes to offer his insight thus underpinning
the motions by Emerson and Knowles. Practical, actionable,
mobilizing, and theoretical education are important because of the
means to overcome and supersede any increasing obstacle as
Einstein proved by claiming: "A problem can never be solved at
the 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 the


future than history.˝ You see, an indeed conscientious futurist
always thinks through doing all his risks FIRST to then accede to
doing all his futures and the benefits stemming from said futures
SECOND. I believe Jefferson was America’s first, foremost, and
most responsible futurologist. In high spirits and under great
responsibility, he added: “Probable impossibilities are to be
preferred to improbable possibilities.”

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


Thomas Jefferson motion to the fullest. His name is Winston
Spencer Churchill. Yes, he was Prime Minister of the U.K. and
became American through an enacted law by the U.S. Congress.
And, in his time, Sir Winston Churchill lucidly asserted the
following: "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) made
his motion in supporting further and yet in a subtle way the
Churchill motion.

15.- Antonio Machado established: “An eye is not an eye because


you see it; an eye is an eye because it sees you.” Going even
further than Machado regarding what grants a person the
maximum possible own visibility of the world (cosmosvision —
i.e., weltanschauung), the Panchatantra (body of Eastern
philosophical knowledge) offers us a maxim: “Knowledge is the
true organ of sight, not the eyes.” Then Bernard d'Espagnat finds
a middle-ground for the motions by Machado and the
Panchatantra by saying: "Even if the Universe is a little myopic is
true that, more than others, MEN OF SCIENCE ARE ITS EYES."

16.- The father of American management – and that of


management spread throughout the world – wishes to make an
optimistic point and a word of caution that is “fine tuned-up” with
all of the current work. I am referring to Peter Drucker, “Things
that have already happened but whose consequences have not
been realized [because they were not imagined, considered, or
envisioned by disciplined foresight and far-sight, early on as their
driving forces were coming together and gaining critical mass] E
Don’t confuse movement with progress.” Furthering the Drucker
position, a great American Nobel laureate is bound to
amalgamating this motion. I mean James D. Watson, Ph.D.

17.- Briefly, Napoleon Bonaparte is a much greater activist of


EDUCATION than of waging war. He really makes some points
that are extremely valuable and timeless. He stated:
“EEducation, strictly speaking, has several objectives: one needs
to learn how to speak and write correctly, which is generally called
grammar and belles letters. Each lyceum has provided for this
object, and there is no well-educated man who has not learned
his rhetoric .... After the need to speak and write correctly comes
the ability to count and measure. The lyceums have provided this
with classes in MATHEMATICS embracing arithmetical and
MECHANICAL KNOWLEDGE IN THEIR DIFFERENT
BRANCHES .... They will continue their [initial] course of
construction. In the third class students would pursue their
STUDIES IN HYDRAULIC ARCHITECTURE, CIVIL and military.
They would busy themselves with the most complicated part of
construction and LEARN EVERYTHING NECESSARY to direct
and superintend the construction of a fort. They would take
cognizance of the details of foundries, mines, etc. ... This portion
of the military art (the same art waged through most surviving,
competing, and prevailing midsize and large for-a-profit
organizations, those organizations that have taken the hyperbolic
stance of ‘war games’) is classified among the
PHYSIO-MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES, E Students having
completed one course in mechanics know nearly everything that
they must understand and applyE It is appropriate therefore to
strive above everything else, and not as one of the foremost
foundations of the instruction, to see that each student executes
the manual of arms and all of the maneuvers of artillery better
than a veteran soldier, that he is skilled in large practice and HAS
PERFECT KNOWLEDGE of the employment of artillery E Old
sergeants will not be jealous of these young officers when they
never have to teach them anything.”

18.- Watson tells in Charlie Rose show, originally aired in 2009, a


very relevant and constructive thought for our greater
enlightenment with hope: "Science gives society a great sense of
decisive freedom." Watson motion gets amplified by the
luminescent assertion by Arthur C. Clarke: “We have to abandon
the idea that schooling is something restricted to youth. How can
it be, in a world where half the things a man knows at 20 are no
longer true at 40 – and half of the things he knows at 40 hadn’t
been discovered when he was 20?” In supporting all motions –
without being contradictory – Otto Herman Khan,
German-American whose contributions are beyond the sine qua
non quality these days, takes a final pondering by indicating:
“Clearly, the first task is to gain acceptance of a more reasonable
view of the future, one that opens possibilities rather than
forecloses them.”

WRAPPING UP

British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli staged in the world of


knowledge a wonderful reflection. To this end his contributions
are world-class and numerous. Once known that he was elected
for public office, a journalist asked him: “What will you first
government action be?” Disraeli readily responded: “I will send my
best friend to Australia.” “To the antipodes? What for?,” the
journalist asked. “So my friends tell me how my administration
here is seen from there,” Disraeli most accurately responded.
Disraeli’s intellect was immense. And he also was a
“future-frendly” type of a prominent large-scale CEO. In his
mentioning of Australia, one could – playing through serious
critico-creative thinking – envision that Disraeli was actually
thinking about sending his best friend into the future. So that said
friend could gain – in ample foresight – the most reliable feedback
(kind-of public opinion ratings) way in advance from the locus
where the broadest perspective can be gained at the maximum
and the easiest and the earliest.

General Francisco de Miranda – an outsider with a Londoner’s


heart, mind, and a British wife in the nineteenth century fighting
against the Spanish army in the Americas – stated a phrase that
greatly bolsters the brief and yet lucid dialogue held by Disraeli
above. Miranda said: “Time is the context by means of which
action is delivered.” In the mean time and proceeding with the
combined and constructive forces of all of the above wisdom, let’s
pay attention to W. Clement Stone who asserted, “Aim for the
moon. If you miss, you may hit a star.”

PRESENT Versus FUTURE: A Radical Yet Rigorous Approach


To Understanding The Complexities and Subtleties Of The
Driving Forces Of Change In Century 21
Evelyn Lindner: “Pessimism is a luxury of good timesE In difficult
times, pessimism is a self-fulfilling, self-inflicted death sentence.”

The FUTURE always wishes to readily equip the present with


novel information. Why? Because the FUTURE considers the
PRESENT a failed stated in the realm of time, and does not
desire to get implicated with the downsides of a sub-optimal
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 Shakespeare’s 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-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 think
of anyone more visionary than the king in his class, the FUTURE?

The PRESENT, unfortunately, is somehow anecdotal while the


FUTURE ruthlessly and relentlessly abides by ever-emerging
scientific truths. These truths contained vast gold mines for
creation, recreation, and super-creation, as well as for
devastation. The cultivated brains must root out the endless
dangers to capture the benefits, so humankind prevails on Earth
and much more beyond it if the Universe, too, –and its own
hyper-dynamics– warrants such a license.

For the first time in history, we can work backward from our
imagination rather than forward from our past. “In the midst of
chaos, there is a learning lesson to assimilate. Sometimes the
table is served for an OVER-LEARNING if the prepared mind is
paying 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 ‘terra


incognita’ territory, chiefly because of its sheer number of
unknown knowns.” By Copyright 2009 Andres Agostini (Andy),
Friday, May/08/2008 + Arlington, Virginia, USA

The term singularity entered the popular science culture with the
1993 presentation at NASA-sponsored conference of a seminal
paper by San Diego State University statistician Vernor Vinge.
The abstract of the famous essay is as daunting today as it was
more than a decade ago: Permalink:
http://www.ArchSingularity.blogspot.com

“Within thirty years, we will have the technological means to


create superhuman intelligence. Shortly after, the human era will
be ended EIs such progress avoidable? If not to be avoided, can
events be guided so that we may survive? These questions are
investigated. Some possible answers (and some further dangers)
are presentedE”

“I just wonder if the FUTURE is always stalking on the PRESENT!


Perhaps, it is so. One thing can be ascertained, because of its
non erudite nature, the FUTURE (the over-ruling) is always
filibustering the PRESENT (the enslaved).” (Andy – Andres
Agostini, Jan/19/2009, 3:17 p.m. EST).

Andres Agostini: “these days—meaning: these seconds—the


totality of all is in the making perpetyually. That to be ‘in the
making’ made—at this time—is relentlessly thought of and
thought through way in advance. This is a technique to
CURRENTLY get your brains over-insourced by zillion, practiced
futuristic scenarios.” (Andy – Andres Agostini, Jan/17/2009, 10:21
p.m. EST).

"The FUTURE WILL HIT the PRESENT AND ITS RESPECTIVE


GROUND, RUNNING. All of that as it has been seen up to the
present time. This is a hyper-accelerated Eon s-streaming Age
and ever-increasingly by a above and beyond an over-exponential
factor. Said ‘over-exponential factor,’ even when multiplied by
many orders of magnitudes as in effect it is, the non-linear
geometrical growth of it is by most people immeasurably
underestimated." – (Andres Agostini, Jan/19/2009, 11:09 p.m.
EST).

“To me–The PAST is more like Alice (Alice's Adventures in


Wonderland). The PRESENT seems more like Mr. Hyde while the
FUTURE appears to be more like the conspiracy of Dr. Jekyll and
Dorian Gray. Perhaps, we will need the combined effort by
Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie to decipher the outright
enigmas, namely those stemming from the
always-awaited-but-ever-intruding FUTURE.” – (Andy – Andres
Agostini, Jan/19/2009, 11:21 p.m. EST).

“Progress is the future outcome of cascades of ‘current moments’


flowing divergently.” – (Andres Agostini, Jan/25/2009, 5:04 p.m.
EST).

The PRESENT is introvert adhocracy as the FUTURE is


technocracy in perpetuum. The PRESENT is an illiterate
adhocratic one while the FUTURE is the technocratic, 'omni
mode' savant. The PAST is hollow, inconsequential fossils.

Most business plans are ill-conceived indeed, as they are


written-up and reckoned with the eyes fixed in prehistory. IF IT IS
NOT AN ACTUAL SUB-SET OF A MUCH GREATER AND
THOROUGH ADVANCED RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY,
THE FIRM WILL MEET GARGANTUAN CHALLENGES.
Otherwise, there will be great opportunities! One end of the
greatest 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 facet
of 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 and
taste. The unavoidable consequences of this FUTURE can be
mitigated or at least somehow modulated. Evidently, this
FUTURE’s UPSIDES can, perhaps, be seized and even
amplified. To meet both requisites, there is one HUGE
prerequisite before proceeding any further. That is, that the
TOTALITY of HUMANKIND has to converge AT UNISON—‘on
the doubles’—on the most essentials Herculean tasks to do in
order to attempt the sustainability of the corresponding civilization
as it is known / perceived now.

Possibly, this FUTURE will not have—as per the hopes treasured
by all-walks-of-life eyewitnesses—a ‘natural tendency.’ Stated
plainly, because it is being envisioned and worked-out
preternaturally, this FUTURE may appear – before our naked
eyes – with extreme tendencies and directives that evoke the
most extravagant and transhuman mandate. The terms
“extravagant” and “transhuman,” in this case, apply for even the
ultimately leading-edge practitioner of the scientific realm, either
within the eminent establishment, or those with an
unauthenticated 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 THE


maximum MONARCH OF TECHNOCRACY by his own right,
Remember? Yes, yes, yes—I know. Technocracy, the gentleman,
just espoused a lady with an appalling temperament that looses
composure oft, even before the state’s visits by the Holly Pope.
Her fist name is “Global.” Her surname is “Crises.” That’s the
reason why this “power couple” has made Sir Francis Bacon a
best-selling icon, “FOR TIME IS THE GREATEST INNOVATOR.”
Gotten it?

The PRESENT carries on superfluously. But the FUTURE is


over-impregnated and super-immersed with detailed meaning and
significance and projected transgressively a là ‘omni mode,’ as
well as with its manifesting tangibly and intangibly pervasive
ubiquity.

Perpetual innovation is a rogue truth to this PRESENT. The


breadth, depth, scope, and rate of acceleration of this FUTURE’s
perpetual innovation will be endless, endless so beyond the
wildest dream or nightmare ever conceived by the ultimately
noted or most criticized sci-fi writer. To attribute to this FUTURE’s
perpetual innovation a quality of far-fetched will be an extreme
over-simplification and an existential blunder.

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


function of the FUTURE. The PRESENT is a function of the PAST
only in part. Remember: The FUTURE is always pre-clashing
and/or clashing the PRESENT, thus continuously shaping and
re-shaping the PRESENT to a great extent. The FUTURE is, so to
speak, 30% a function of the PRESENT and 70% a function of the
FUTURE itself. The PRESENT is bathed by permanency and by
the quality of being impermanent. The PRESENT is not a
snapshot or fixed (static). It is the linkage, superposition, and/or
intertwining of many films (multi-fluidly dynamical). Its dynamism
grants itself, the PRESENT, huge ambitions to becoming the
FUTURE while trying to capture the ‘here and now’ mirage, a
mirage that does not care loosing the sense of ridicule. There are
too many ‘heres’ and a myriad of ‘nows.’

The PRESENT is always infinite, unless its interrelationship with


the FUTURE stops. The FUTURE is never endless unless a great
anomaly takes place.
Concerning the PRESENT and specially the FUTURE, the great
majority of people failed considering the possibility of anything
going wrong, no matter how remote the location or complexity of
the implementation environment.

The PRESENT and the FUTURE engender tsunamis of


CHANGES. When you altered your work because of competition
and/or difficult times, you are CHANGING your professional
occupation (organizational strategy). When you reflect and modify
you innermost (and that revolt and commutes while revolting
within the innermost), you are CHANGING your essence to some
extent. CHANGING your essence to being ADAPTABLE to
ever-shifting realities. When CHANGE is always altering all types
of CHANGES, the scientific properties of known and unknown
changes get modified, sometimes profoundly. This extreme
modification is what I have been referring to ‘CHANGED
CHANGES.’

CHANGED CHANGES make the overwhelming case for ‘beyond


unprecedented’ reinvention of humans, business and lifestyles,
organizations, businesses, governments, nongovernmental
organizations, societies, and worldwide society. In the process,
the extreme makeover is in nothing superficial or similar. And the
call is an abrupt wake-up alarm to all sorts of leaders, managers,
entrepreneurs, business owners, government administrators,
consultants, 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, what
is presently relevant for you to envision are the floating, fluxing,
cross-railed FUTURES as they climb the treacherous
building-block ladder, the ladder of accumulation of opportunities,
challenges, and perplexing, but exuberant, trade-offs. These
trade-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 will
be a nearly, though not impossible, insurmountable enterprise for
Life.

How insurmountable? As nearly insurmountable as attempting to


hike the Everest cloth-less, equipment-less, ill-prepared, without a
crew and the indispensable Sherpa, as you walk and climb toward
the mountain’s peak with your back focused on the peak and
while your eyes are grabbed by the starting-point locus. You can
always walk into the FUTURE backwards to revive the fossilized
vestiges of blur/made-up memories that eat your soul out.

You know what the PAST is? Reply: The eternal flow of
increasing creative-tension discrepancies between the FUTURE
and the PRESENT, encapsulated in a stream of segments from
the ‘preterit tense’ kingdom, a kingdom that is neither awaken nor
significant anymore.

Clearly, the genetics of the human beings will have a notable


impact on the psychology and physiology of the humans until the
FUTURE’s say. Such a say has a designated ‘due time.’ By all
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, there’s the facet of blended UPSIDE RISKS with
DOWNSIDE RISKS. To really get the OPPORTUNITIES the
DOWNSIDE RISKS must be terminated or, at least, mitigated and
modulated.

Such eternal creative-tension discrepancies — as imposed by the


rogue and nearly ageless interrelationship between the FUTURE
and the PRESENT—wage a 'preemptive war' to get the PAST
under retirement. These eternal creative-tension discrepancies
make three major displacements. Firstly, it displaces the PAST to
a corner (or quadrant) where vestiges are fossilized but not
looked after. Secondly, it displaces the PRESENT closer to the
FUTURE. Thirdly, the FUTURE pulls pervasively the PRESENT
to the FUTURE’s intimate spheres of influence, since this
monarch (the FUTURE) wishes the PRESENT to be the ultimate,
loyal subject of the FUTURE. This wish from the FUTURE is to
this monarchical ruler a sine qua non without fail.

It must be mentioned that interrelationship between the FUTURE


and the PRESENT is intense and will become increasingly more
intense, beyond the boldest and lucid imagination without a fail.

Mother Nature is a great and loving and noble matriarch. The


Universe is the oldest and wisest Patriarch, perhaps the elder son
of the greatest intelligence of all. The Multiverse (many universes
with, at the same time, many dimensions) is not only the
maximum, all-enabling Patriarch, but also a pervasive Patrician
holding the greatest intelligence, wealth, perhaps the elder son of
applied omniscience, nanotechnology, biotechnology, robotics,
and A.I. (artificial intelligence).

Successful and tough/subtle/refined/granular reverse-engineering


captures breakthrough innovations for the PRESENT’ and from
the FUTURE’s dominion. Reverse-engineer all regardless of its
origins, terrestrial or extraterrestrial. This is important to bear in
mind. Terrestrial or extraterrestrial, what a friutless arguement as
that of the sex of the angels, is ultimately tutelaged by the
Multiverse (period).

Successful and tough reverse-engineering captures breakthrough


innovations for the PRESENT’ and from the FUTURE’s 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 it
seems) massively instilled from the outer space. (a sub-verse of
the Multiverse). If extraterrestrial beings existed, they would be, in
fact, siblings to current humans. How come? Because there are
other genesis different from biogenesis 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, you need to
understand the PRESENT, the FUTURE, and its frenzy
interrelationship. In making this effort optimum—and among other
prerequisites—we must find out and address two topics. One
topic has to do with how we reached this PRESENT out of a
scattered PAST’s technological accomplishment as we
constructed an expanded knowledge repository just by practicing
future scenarios through radiant foresight, far-sight, hindsight,
insight, and innermost-sight.

Another topic is that insidious habit of the FUTURE in seducing


the as-of-now PRESENTS while the citizens of such PRESENTS
make us agent so many looking-forward changes that set afire the
interrelationship between this PRESENT and this FUTURE. Now
we know how we got to ‘here’, ‘here’ is the hyper-dynamism of
flows, in-flows, counter-flows, avant-garde flows,
crossed-pollinated flows, point-inflecting flows. “As-of-now”
exactly refers to the PRESENT-FUTURE’s own tête-à-tête.

‘Here’, while in the PAST, was a bit statistical but never really so.
The so-called ‘here’ is undergoing a total immersion of
numberless processes, throughputs, transactions, deeds, etc.
‘Here’ has always been mobilized. ‘Now’ is motorized at a rate
that is beyond awe-inspiring. We just got the ‘now’ about right to
this point. To turn savvier on this FUTURE, one must be a genius
in his executions (sic) yoctosecond by yoctosecond.

Then, he / she has to make the greatest effort of all, that is, to
think unthinkably in relation to present forces and respective
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.

Thereinafter, your unthinkable thinking about FUTURES must


become more refined, enhanced, exuberant, streamlined, diverse,
expanded, and extended. In doing so, it never suffices to come up
with a three-scenario forecast. Subsequently, forecasts must
carry with you as many plausible or implausible scenarios as
resources required never loosing the maximum rigor. Also, no
optimum forecast is great enough if it is not accompanied of an
arsenal of plans of contingency. Each scenario crafted must have
its respective, unambiguous plan of contingency without a fail.

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

The PRESENT is always unnecessarily delayed or even lost and


absent-minded because its limits are impermanent and
capabilities are finite. The PRESENT never contemplates
fast-forward-ly, but in reversal in so adding to its even greater
disadvantage. The FUTURE operates beyond the offensive
acceleration of ‘light speed’-plus and nearly without or with zero
limits or constraints or borders. The FUTURE is the Napoleonic
Emperor that does everything only under its own terms, exploiting
every advantage and disadvantage to its lucrative well-being and
omni-ruling.
The FUTURE is accustomed to spying on the PRESENT. How
come? The FUTURE is the PRESENT’s debriefing one. The
FUTURE is, in many cases a virtuoso, though it at times voyeurs
the PRESENT. What a horrendous vice! Such deed will NEVER
be tolerated. How do you REHAB the FUTURE? Group therapy?
Grouping it with whom?

The PRESENT is sleepwalking while the FUTURE is ‘child like’


wondered by daydreaming. In the mean time, the post-modern
modernity is a rush getting more and more modern by
unprecedented ‘shock and awe’ unearthed standards.

This criss-cross PRESENT will be reconstituted by the continually


crinkum-crankum FUTURE inevitably. There is going on a terzetto
in which the happenings are more or less like this: the PAST
(R.I.P), the PRESENT (thé dansant), and the FUTURE (tertium
quid). Clearly, the PAST is getting a CPR to be by historians.
Earned in his own intellectual right, Jefferson stated: “I prefer the
dreams of the FUTURE than history.”

Who would dare not to appreciate that nanotechnology,


biotechnology, bionics, and artificial intelligence making deep and
steep inroads? Incidentally, the definition of the omniscience
perspective can be revised at www.AllSciCzar.blogspot.com as
well.

The PRESENT is an absent-minded sardine while the FUTURE is


giant cuttlefish in conspiracy with an octopus.

Ying and Yang have combined forces of subtle and dramatic


origin. These days the PRESENT is a bit like a
pseudo-harmonized Ying-Yang relationship. The FUTURE is only
about Yang deeds.
The PRESENT is besieged by a bunch of dilettantes and poseurs.
The FUTURE is—so to speak—à la Sir Francis Drake.

The PRESENT is more like Huckleberry Finn while the FUTURE


is perhaps the archetype of Genghis Khan and his efficacious
Mongols.

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


extent—one of the forthcoming FUTURES. At some point ahead,
a PRESENT will be ultimately integrated into a single FUTURE.
Such a FUTURE, though, will reach a point in which being
bio-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’ at
www.AgostiniWorks.blogspot.com).

Regardless of transhumanity, overhumanity, superhumanity,


nonhumanity and ‘above and beyond’ humanity, the hard-core
essential is and will be not being human but becoming and acting
humanely. (March 12, 2009 at 1:58 p.m. EST. By © Copyright
2009 Andres Agostini ‘Andy’ at
www.AgostiniWorks.blogspot.com).

The PRESENTS are from appalling and contentious


interrelationship between Venus and Mars. The FUTURES are
only from stringent Mars. Go and ask about it Dr. John Gray.

The FUTURES are supervening upon the PRESENTS in


combination with the ruthless forces possess by the own
FUTURES.

The PRESENT concerns the animal and vegetable kingdoms.


The FUTURE is only about beyond post-humanity and its
staggering brute-force-and-dramatically-subtle INTELLIGENCE.
The PRESENT pertains to discovering science. The FUTURE is
absolute science dominance and nearly infinite power.

The PRESENT is always misled and misleading, treasuring a


great promise of deceit. The FUTURE is eloquently transparent
and clear, crippling—in advance—violators of ethics, morality,
principles, integrity, and dignity.

WRAPPING UP
But the German philosopher, Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche,
reiterates that if we change the present we can change the future,
and if we change the future – as well as the way we proactively
and qualitatively envision and practice it through futuristic
scenario methods – we will be changing the present in fact and
taking increasing control over the negative circumstances that
impact us so dramatically. In actuality, we must change both the
PRESENT and the FUTURE simultaneously and at once. The
PRESENT’s vest interest into the FUTURE is too huge not to note
it immediately. Nietzsche, thereby, stated exactly: "It’s our future
that lays down the law of our today."

ANDRES AGOSTINI’S BOUNDARYLESS COMMENTS


CONCERNING GILL CORKINDALE’S (HARVARD
UNIVERSITY’S HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW) BLOG
ARTICLE TITLED: “DOES YOUR COMPANY’S REPUTATION
REALLY MATTER?”

ON DECEMBER 25, 2009 AT 10:34 P.M.

Reputation is absolutely indispensable. The more and more


people (customers) demand perfect services and products, the
more and more backed-by-the-executions deeds are necessary to
make reputation not only viable but indispensable to sustaining
growth.

For a firm, the systematic lack of reputation will mean bankruptcy


in due time, generally speaking. So many “risk management”
pontificator doggedly forget to analyze this and other risks
optimally – such as that of reputation – that no one can “transfer
(never ever) to a sub-optimal business model such as that of the
insurance and reinsurance companies.
The transformative and integrative approach of instituting risk
management (*) with the omniscience perspective (**) must be a
dynamical womb-to-tomb “ever-flowing and ever-amplified”
scrutinizing video-ed vista.

Is this a “customer service” problem – because we are afraid to


lose a customer – or is this more of a “disruption potential” to
secure or imperil the corporation’s existence? Both are true but
the last is truest. A constant succession of blunders, in any firm or
organization, in dealing with customer services appropriately is a
prevalent problem of relevance but yet of lesser relevance in the
financial existence or not of such organization.

These serious mistakes in looking after (or outright neglecting) the


client, sometimes “lethal” ones, are much deeper signs of many
processes going ill in long-ignored and also evident flanks. In part,
but not to an invaluable degree, customer service problems are a
function of an increasing taking place of “disruption potential” on
the corporation’s existence within subtlety and without subtlety.

You can have the greatest engineers, scientists, academicians,


technologists, CFOs, CIOs, and so forth. But if the client is not
absolutely DELIGHTED as per his / her own definition of
“delighted,” not your marketing / sales / branding /
success-capturing strategy but your entire CORPORATE
STRATEGY is beyond flawed. Thus, I strongly recommend that
“strategic planning” savants operate as a major sub-chapter of the
grandest not-insurance-related risk management program and its
sophisticated strategy under the CRMO (Chief Risk Manager
Officer) who, as well, directly reports to both the CEO and
Chairman while said officers have palpable, express and
unconditional backing from the board of directors.

One of the greatest risks – increasingly so in this wildest


eons-streaming CHANGED CHANGES era – is the human factor,
chiefly the wrongly over-empowered one. It is acknowledged that
human beings are “flawed.” Flawed human beings are a function
of flawed genetics of said human beings. If unimpeachable
scientific truth is observed, then it is significant the ensuing
paradigm: “anything (anyone) operating ‘now’ is already obsolete
and if not qualitatively upgraded (including the humans), it will
grow more and more obsolete.”

Not too long ago a humanely humanitarian, Prof. Malcolm


Knowles, Ph.D., heavily involved in education addressed at length
human obsolescence. While Dr. Bertrand Russell indicated: “I
know of more people who’d rather die THAN THINK.” Before that
Sir Francis Bacon stated, “HE THAT WILL NOT APPLY NEW
REMEDIES MUST EXPECT NEW EVILS, FOR TIME IS THE
GREATEST INNOVATOR.”

Dr. Malcolm S. Knowles, Ph.D. and author of “The Adult Learner:


The Definitive Classic in Adult Education and Human Resource
Development” wrote:
“The greatest danger for the survival of the present civilization is
neither atomic war, nor environmental pollution, nor the
exploitation of natural resources, and nor present crises. The
underlying cause to all of the above is the acceleration of man’s
obsolescence E The only hope seems to be an electroshock
program to re-instill to current adults the competencies required to
function adequately under a mode of perpetual change. This is a
profound need – the immensurable challenge – that is presented
by the modern society to the adult educator.”

Flawed genetics of said human beings are a function of flawed


composition and disposition of the atomic and sub-atomic
arrangement of such genetics. And there we can go on towards a
much better root cause (seeking the most minuscule granularity of
the so-called “details” will find much more not in the Universe
alone but also in the Multiverse). In the final analysis (and to
make things worse greatly), way too many people – in business or
Main Street – have major problems of ethics and morality,
structurally and in excelsis.

Can you imagine scientists with “flawed” morality making


sophisticated and large-scale decisions in order to counter (to
institute countermeasures as per the applied omniscience and
through the systems perspective) the immense existential perils
posed by climate and geology globally, that is: on the face of
Earth? If some of the most advanced nations failed in the 2009
Copenhagen summit about the global climate crisis, How can
anyone – in his / her “right mind” – expect that simpler
undertakings (such as an airline’ or subway’s right customer
service “strategy”) will work optimally? Really?

In many blogs and postings I have strongly suggested a solution


to prominent representatives of the new high-tech and
omniscience “deities” in the “Warped Passages” multiversed
block. ERGO, WHY DON'T WE PULL OUT A
RE-ENGINEERED-GENES VACCINE TO FIX THE
"GANGSTER" GENE CLUSTER(S)?

It is NOT about optimum managers with “soft skills” making their


customers feel at home. This is an immeasurable understatement
if the insatiable and indefatigable “quid pro quo” exchange is left
alone without first and foremost eradicating the actual root
problems (incessantly, systemically, and systematically violation
of principles, values, ethics, and morality in crescendo for Life).
Even when scientists speak about phenotype, it is even beyond
scientific proof that when genotypes are better people can sustain
the “demands” of the environment, including those demands that
damage a child’s life into an “unhealthy” adulthood.

If the global crisis of customer services (and for that matter of


best-practiced leadership, management, and business), or the
global crisis of geopolitics, climate, geology is acknowledged and
cope with IN ACTUALITY, then it would have to be understood
that all of that crises are a function of the GLOBAL CRISIS OF
CORRUPTION, the mother of all crises.

The GLOBAL CRISIS OF CORRUPTION hugely propelled


ubiquitously by the level of population and the ill-and-evil
empowerment but pervasive and yet inexpensive technology of
each one of the 750 billion souls on Earth.

There is not a facet in personal, professional, and organization life


that has not been touched by the extreme empowerment of
corruption. ANY MANAGEMENT PRESCRIPTION – THOUGH
EXTREMELY INTERESTING – WILL RESULT IN AN ABSURD
AND RIDICULOUS OVER-REDUCTIONISM.

Anything related to academia and relevant to non-fiction


publishing, especially in times of open-ended online
communications, must be a solemn act of profound meditation
and long pondering as per my view, respectful of that of others.
Subsequently, I like to add these luminary quotations for the
thoughtful reader’s best consideration:

Sir Winston Churchill: "THE EMPIRES OF THE FUTURE ARE


THE EMPIRES OF THE MIND."

Thomas Jefferson: "I PREFER THE STORIES OF THE FUTURE


THAN HISTORY (PAST)."

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche: "IT’S OUR FUTURE THAT LAYS


DOWN THE LAW OF OUR TODAY?"

Theodore Roosevelt: “ALL THE RESOURCES WE NEED ARE IN


THE MIND.”

Honorable and wisest Thomas Jefferson took into considerations


some thoughts by Aristotle (384 – 322 BC), who stated: “Probable
impossibilities are to be preferred to improbable possibilities.”

CONCLUSION

Art is a way of seeking truth. Yes, science is a mode of seeking


truth. Practice is a way of seeking truth. Technology is important
yet an ingredient in the prescription’s mix. But until AI (Artificial
Intelligence) makes its greatest landing — and while converging
the best of arts, science, and technology —, the absolutely
unimpeachable sine qua non is the extreme harvesting and
nurturing of the mind for Life (sic).

ON “EDUCATION” AS PER AN EMPEROR, AMERICA’S


SPACE-PROGRAM FATHER, AND THE WEST’S
LEADING-EDGE EDUCATOR! Researched by Andres Agostini at
www.linkedin.com/in/andresagostini
NAPOLEON BONAPARTE ON EDUCATION (1769 – 1821):

“EEducation, strictly speaking, has several objectives: one needs


to learn how to speak and write correctly, which is generally called
grammar and belles letters. Each lyceum has provided for this
object, and there is no well-educated man who has not learned
his rhetoric .... After the need to speak and write correctly comes
the ability to count and measure. The lyceums have provided this
with classes in MATHEMATICS embracing arithmetical and
MECHANICAL KNOWLEDGE IN THEIR DIFFERENT
BRANCHES .... The elements of several other fields come next:
chronology, geography, and the rudiments of history are also a
part of the education of the lyceum E. A young man who leaves
the lyceum at sixteen years of age therefore knows not only the
mechanics of his language and the classical authors, the divisions
of discourse, the different figures of eloquence, the means of
employing them either to calm or arouse passions, in short,
everything that one learns in a course on belles letters. He also
would know the principal epochs of history, the basic
geographical divisions, and how to compute and measure. He has
some general idea of the most striking natural phenomena and
the principles of equilibrium and movement both with regard to
solids and fluids .... Whether he desires to follow the career of the
barrister, that of the sword, or ENGLISH, or letters; if he is
destined to enter into the body of scholars, to be a geographer,
engineer, or land surveyor – in all these cases he has received a
general education necessary to become equipped to receive the
remainder of instruction that his circumstances require, and it is at
this moment, when he must make his choice of a profession, that
the special studies present themselves .... If he wishes to devote
himself to the military art, engineering, or artillery, he enters a
special school of MATHEMATICS, the polytechnique (institution,
especially college dealing with or devoted to various TECHNICAL
subjects). What he learns there is only the corollary of what he
has learned in elementary mathematics, but the knowledge
acquired in these studies must be developed and applied before
he enters the different branches of ABSTRACT MATHEMATICS.
NO LONGER IS IT A QUESTION SIMPLY OF EDUCATION, AS
IN THE LYCEUM: NOW IT BECOMES A MATTER OF
ACQUIRING A SCIENCE E. The total length of the course of the
Artillery and ENGINEER school being fixed at two years, we must
divide the course into four parts, each comprising six months of
study. Students in the first class would learn: 1.- The infantry
maneuvers of the platoon and battalion. 2.- The maneuvers of
field and siege artillery as well as those of mortars and howitzers.
3.- Mechanical maneuvers, the composition of explosivesE4.-
The principles of the attack of fortifications. 5.- The entire position
of the aide-mémoire pertaining to firing, and finally. 6.- Everything
necessary to the gunner and the engineer in the field .... Students
will be led to the target range; they will lob bombs into the target
barrel, fire blank cartridges, etc., and construct every kind of
battery. They will continue their [initial] course of construction. In
the third class students would pursue their STUDIES IN
HYDRAULIC ARCHITECTURE, CIVIL and military. They would
busy themselves with the most complicated part of construction
and LEARN EVERYTHING NECESSARY to direct and
superintend the construction of a fort. They would take
cognizance of the details of foundries, mines, etc .... The fourth
class would be dedicated to perfecting the students in the
different subjects that they have been studying. They would go
over all of the details of arsenals, mines, galleries, etc. – in brief,
everything that would complete their instruction as engineers and
gunners would belong to the curriculum of this class E. In
general, in the establishment of a school for engineers and
artillery one should consider the knowledge of the maneuvers of
all the guns and the tactics of infantry as the principal object.
When a student is admitted to the School of the Battalion, he
would be forced to perform the manual of arms and the
maneuvers of the battalion at least three times every ten days E
It is important for the maneuvers of artillery to keep in mind that
nothing is more uncertain than the art of firing. This portion of the
military art is classified among the PHYSIO-MATHEMATICAL
SCIENCES, yet its results are dubious; those of practice are
certain. Students having completed one course in mechanics
know nearly everything that they must understand and applyE It
is appropriate therefore to strive above everything else, and not
as one of the foremost foundations of the instruction, to see that
each student executes the manual of arms and all of the
maneuvers of artillery better than a veteran soldier, that he is
skilled in large practice and HAS PERFECT KNOWLEDGE of the
employment of artillery. No one can be considered a good student
if, upon graduation, he cannot go immediately to a battery or a
siege. It is proper that upon joining his unit he should instruct a
class of recruits in the maneuvers of artillery and infantry and in
the mechanical maneuvers. How often do you not see officers
unable to place a gun carriage, direct a mechanical maneuver,
fashion explosives, and forced to take lesson from old sergeants?
E When a student can aim a gun better than the soldier, no one
will question either his right to advancement or the other
advantages of his education. Old sergeants will not be jealous of
these young officers when they never have to teach them
anything.”

SIR IAN HAMILTON IN 1921 ON NAPOLEON: “It is only


progressively that one can form a great army. Certainly no other
commander (leader) in his day devoted as much thought and
attention to organization as Napoleon, who went into painstaking
detail to assure that his forces (team and resources) were
disciplined, prepared, and ready to take the field (the marketplace
and its competitors). The army marches, works, and has its being
by organization and discipline.”

WERNHER VON BRAUN ON EDUCATION, 1912 –1977, (Father


of the American Space Program):
“EThe average citizen today, of course, has far more scientific
information at his disposal than did those greatest of intellects of
earlier times. Yet paradoxically, I think that THERE HAS NEVER
BEEN A GREATER NEED FOR INCREASED
UNDERSTANDING AND APPRECIATION OF SCIENCE. It has
been said that, although the choice of direction for our civilization
will be determined through democratic process, it is there that the
problem begins. TO MAKE RATIONAL CHOICES, THE
AVERAGE CITIZEN MUST UNDERSTAND THE NATURE AND
ROLE OF SCIENCE AT A TIME WHEN ITS BREADTH AND
COMPLEXITY ARE INCREASING ALMOST EXPONENTIALLY
.... Conversely, the scientist, at a time when he can barely keep
up to date in his specialty, must not isolate himself in his parochial
interest. Instead, he should see his profession as a part of the
larger world, to evaluate himself and his work in relation to all
forces, especially the humanities, which shape and advance
society. THE NEED, THEN, IS FOR AN EDUCATIONAL
PROCESS RESULTING IN MORE SCIENTIFIC LITERACY FOR
THE LAYMAN, AND MORE LITERACY IN THE HUMANITIES
FOR THE SCIENTISTS .... Man in this scientific age is free only
to the extent that he has a grasp on himself and his surroundings.
FREEDOM – THE ABILITY TO SPEAK, THINK, ACT, AND VOTE
INTELLIGENTLY – is based largely on our ability TO MAKE
CHOICES growing out of our understanding of the issues
involved. With each advance of science, there is an invitation to
more understanding. This is the essence of the burden borne by
all peoples since the dawn of humanity. There must be
widespread understanding of the role of science in modern
society, both as to its limits and our dependence on its basic
function as a tool for our survival. This is the imperative for
scientific literacy .... How do we encourage scientific literacy? I
THINK THE PROBLEM IS HOW TO INSTILL IN STUDENTS A
PERMANENT DESIRE TO LEARN. All youth is endowed with
curiosity from the very beginning. What can education process do,
not only to keep this natural curiosity alive, but to make it a
permanent part of the individual drive? E Students should be
encouraged, beyond learning facts, to be intrigued by objects and
events in their environment, as well as to become aware of and
responsive in a positive manner to beauty and orderliness in their
environment. THEY SHOULD BE TAUGHT TO WILLINGLY
SUBJECT THEIR DATA AND IDEAS TO CRITICISM OF THEIR
PEERS WHILE ACQUIRING A CRITICAL, QUESTIONING
ATTITUDE TOWARD INFERENCES, HYPOTHESES AND
THEORIES. Early in education, they should be led to recognize
the limitations of scientific modes of inquiry and the need for
additional, quite different approaches to the quest for reality E
ULTIMATELY, THEY SHOULD BE INSTILLED WITH AN
APPRECIATION FOR THE INTERRELATEDNESS OF
SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETY .... This is essentially
the scientific method. By learning the scientific method, students
will understand its role in society and at the same time to think for
themselves. LEARNING TO THINK FOR ONESELF, IN TURN,
IMPARTS A DEEP SENSE OF FREEDOM. ONCE TESTED, AN
APPETITE FOR IT IS FORMED WHICH MAY WELL ENDURE
THROUGHOUT LIFE .... But if our young people are going to gain
the appetite, our schools, our colleges, our universities, must bear
an ever greater responsibility. ALL TOO MANY TIMES IN THE
PAST, EDUCATION – PARTICULARLY IN THE SCIENTIFIC
DISCIPLINES – HAS PLACED EXTREMELY HEAVY EMPHASIS
ON TRANSMITTING THE ESTABLISHED KNOWLEDGE OF
THE PAST. THERE HAS BEEN A TENDENCY FOR TEACHERS
TO ASSIGN, AND TO ENCOURAGE ROTE LEARNING,
INSTEAD OF TAKING THE ADMITTEDLY MORE DIFFICULT
PATH OF ENCOURAGING STUDENTS TO THINK FOR
THEMSELVES .... THE MAINSPRING OF SCIENCE IS
CURIOSITY. SINCE TIME IMMEMORIAL, THERE HAVE
ALWAYS BEEN MEN AND WOMEN WHO FELT A BURNING
DESIRE TO KNOW WHAT WAS UNDER THE ROCK, BEYOND
THE HILLS, ACROSS THE OCEANS. THIS RESTLESS BREED
NOW WANT TO KNOW WHAT MAKES AN ATOM WORK,
THROUGH WHAT PROCESS LIFE REPRODUCES ITSELF, OR
WHAT IS THE GEOLOGICAL HISTORY OF THE MOON.

QUESTION: ARE THE ROMANIC CULTURES IN SOUR


OPPOSITION WITH NAPOLEON BONAPARTE’ AND
WERNHER VON BRAUN’S SUCCESS PRESCRIPTIONS?

Yes, the Romanic cultures – to an appalling and unfortunate


degree (and with the notorious exception of Leonardo Da Vinci) –
have this overwhelming counter feeling against Napoleon
Bonaparte’ and Wernher von Braun’s Success Prescriptions.
When the subject matter is addressed, the respective incumbents
take it as a violation to their traditions and not as an opportunity to
grow beyond any past historic consideration.

DR. MALCOLM S. KNOWLES, PH.D. AND AUTHOR OF “THE


ADULT LEARNER: THE DEFINITIVE CLASSIC IN ADULT
EDUCATION AND HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT”
WROTE ON EDUCATION: “The greatest danger for the survival
of the present civilization is neither atomic war, nor environmental
pollution, nor the exploitation of natural resources, and nor
present crises. The underlying cause to all of the above is the
acceleration of man’s obsolescence E The only hope seems to
be an electroshock program to re-instill to the current adults the
competencies required to function adequately under a mode of
perpetual change. This is a profound need – the immensurable
challenge – that is presented by the modern society to adult
educator.”

In supporting Dr. Malcolm Knowles, luminary R. Buckminster


Fuller: “Either war is obsolete, or men are.”

In supporting Buckminster Fuller, Albert Einstein stated: “It has


become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded
our humanityEWe shall require a substantially new manner of
thinking if mankind is to survive.”

Dr. James D. Watson, Ph.D. and Nobel Laureate: "Science gives


society a decisively great sense of freedom."

Theodore Roosevelt: “All the resources we need are in the mind.”

John Quincy Adams: “My toast would be, may our country be
always successful, but whether successful or otherwise, always
right.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson: “Every great organization [convergence of


leader and his / her co-leaders] is merely the lengthened shadow
of a single man.”

Thomas Gaisford (1779 -1885): “Nor can I do better, in


conclusion, THAN IMPRESS UPON YOU THE STUDY OF THE
GREEK LITERATURE, which not only elevates above the vulgar
herd, but leads not infrequently to positions of considerable
emoluments.”

George Bernard Shaw: “The people who get on in this world are
the ones who get up and look for the circumstances they want
and, if they can’t find them, make them.”
Konrad Lorenz: “It is a good morning exercise for a research
scientist to discard a pet hypothesis every day before breakfast.”

Professor Gary Hamel: “The bottleneck is at the top of the bottle.”

Stephen Covey: “Start with the end in mind.”

Giuseppe Garibaldi (1807 – 1882): “Men, I’m getting out of Rome.


Anyone who wants to carry on the war against the outsiders,
come with me. I can offer you neither honors nor wages; I offer
you hunger, thirst, forced marches, battles and death. Anyone
who loves his country, follow me.”

Confucius: “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to
work a day in your life.”

Harvey Mackay: “Success is getting up more than you fall down.”

Jim Rohn: “It is the set of the sails, not the direction of wind that
determines which way we will go.”

Anonymous: “There are many things in life that will catch you eye,
but only a few that will catch your heart E. Pursue those.”

Bernard d’Espagnat (1926): “Even if the Universe is a little myopic


is true that, more than others, MEN OF SCIENCE ARE ITS
EYES.”

Anonymous: “Life’s a struggle, but you can win.”

German proverb: “Humor is when you laugh anyway.”

LEADERSHIP AND CO-LEADERSHIP CRYSTALLIZING


TRIUMPH!
« Andy: “It is not so much about the approach of structuring the
leadership/co-leadership teamwork as the proper, the
womb-to-tomb, and aggressive usage of the diverse, methods,
stratagems, strategies, tactics, science, and technology, as well
as of skills and the deployment of called-for resources, will secure
triumph.”

ON DISCIPLINE – A STARTING POINT THROUGH


COMPLETION!

In every undertaking in leadership, management, and business,


discipline is extremely important. What type of disciplines? There
are three critical disciplines – that must always be instituted –.
Firstly, the discipline of thought. Secondly, the discipline of
technique. Thirdly, the discipline of procedure.

LEADERSHIP FIRST, REGARDLESS!

No optimum management, whatsoever, can there exists if first


there is not a greater and universal application of leadership!

PERIOD! (SIC) By © Copyright 2009 Andres Agostini – All Rights

My paternal grandfather used to say to his children: "Study not to


be a toy and a subject under the ruling by lowest passions."

Speaking seriously, luck just does not exist. Many American


scientists, including those hugely disserting on capturing success,
has proven that life is a struggle but you can win if you become
extremely disciplined and make the right steps (and hyper-adapt
by changed changes of ever-perpetual newness). What it does
exist it’s a great lack of understanding – at depth, scope, sense
of: scale, proportion, subtlety, intricacy, and fineness, as well as
of miscomprehension of overt and covert interrelationships ruled
by known and unknown laws of the Universe.

Napoleon Bonaparte (1769 – 1821) speaks on the blunder of


believing that luck exists. Either outcome by popularly spoken
“luck” can be explained by extremely savvy and prominent
scientists, chiefly from the “exact sciences” quadrant. Please read
what the statesman sentenced.

“NO GREAT ACTIONS ARE THE PRODUCT OF CHANCE AND


LUCK: THEY MUST ALWAYS PROCEED FROM CALCULATION
AND GENIUS. RARELY DOES ONE SEE THE GREAT MAN
FAIL IN THEIR MOST PERILOUS ENTERPRISES. Consider
Alexander, Caesar, Hannibal, Gustavus Adolphus, and other
Great Captains. THEY ALWAYS SUCCEEDED. IS IT BECAUSE
THEY WERE LUCKY THAT THEY THUS BECAME GREAT
MEN?”

A PRECAUTIONARY NOTE FOR EVERY SERIOUS LEADER


FROM EUROPE’S ULTIMATE EMPEROR: HOW POPULARLY
SO-CALLED “LUCK” IS TURNED INCESSANTLY,
REITERATIVELY AND PERMANENTLY IRRELEVANT AS PER
NAPOLEON’S (1769 – 1821) OWN WORDS:

“In war [as well as in coping with major and complex leadership,
business and management enterprises and the competition]
nothing is accomplished except through calculations [applied
qualitative and analytical analyzes, not just mathematical
modeling]. ANYTHING THAT IS NOT PROFOUNDLY
MEDITATED IN DETAILS WILL PRODUCE NO RESULT.
Matters [and/or challenges and their intricacies, subtleties and
complexities, as well as because of the nature of said matters] are
contemplated over a long period of time and, TO ATTAIN
SUCCESS [to capture your goals and objective], YOU MUST
DEVOTE SEVERAL MONTHS TO THINKING ABOUT WHAT
MIGHT HAPPEN [that is, ‘onmi mode’-ly thinking unthinkably for
Life and by becoming engaged in ‘futures practicing’ by most
advanced, unconstrained scenario methods]. IF I TAKE SO
MANY PRECAUTIONS [knowing that the granularity of details is
ever-increasingly more detailed and subtle], IT IS BECAUSE MY
HABIT IS TO LEAVE NOTHING TO CHANGE (Oxford Dictionary
and American Heritage: “EWay of things happen of themselves,
fortune; undersigned occurrence; probability; course of events
regarded as E fate; fortuitousE THE UNKNOWN AND
UNPREDICTABLE ELEMENT IN HAPPENINGS THAT SEEMS
TO HAVE NO ASSIGNABLE CAUSE E A FORCE ASSUMED
TO CAUSE EVENTS THAT CANNOT BE FORESEEN OR
CONTROLLED; LUCK ... OFTEN CHANCES ... THE
LIKELIHOOD OF SOMETHING HAPPENING; POSSIBILITY OR
PROBABILITY E AN ACCIDENTAL OR UNPREDICTABLE

The quotation is attributed to Voltaire (1694 – 1778) and others.


The French writer and philosopher, always in great admiration of
the English language and culture, is indeed a supreme, universal
thought leader. Nonetheless, I am extremely in disagreement with
such an appalling and infamous quotation.

Disengaged people (those holding prominent scholar degrees


from the best universities in the most developed nations of the
world) have made a personal choice exercising their fullest
freedom. From great enlightenment, they have decided to
become ignoramus from supine ignorance. As a “wildcard,” they
paraphrase Voltaire not on his under magnificent thoughts and
works by on the only disgrace represented by the ensuing spoken
words: “The best is the enemy of the good.”

Those people wish to buy a Ferrari or a Rolls Royce, a $45,000


tailored-made suit, a $350,000 wrist watch, anything that is
beyond perfection and very much compatible with their exquisite
gusto. They take the manufacturing of these items and the
respective leadership for granted. One sees a pencil and most of
the times has no a deep and ample idea of the immensity of the
complex problems involved. Imagine just what it took to
engineering and building the Saturn for NASA’s Apollo Program. If
I am not mistaken, that “spaceship” has more wiring than the
totality of wiring in the entirety of the great Manhattan Island.

While the project leader was NASA, the prominent and admirable
organization led some 4,000 contractors into palpable,
unquestionable success (The achievement of something desired,
planned, or attempted E The gaining of fame or prosperity E The
extent of such gain E One that is successful E favorable or
desired outcome E attainment of wealth, favor, or eminenceE).

Many years later, the NASA Rover landed on Mars as per the
exact specifications and provisions by the world’s most important
space agency. THE ROVER TRAVELLED SEVERAL MILLION
MILES TO MAKE IT THERE SUCCESSFULLY. Five minutes
after landing on Mars, it immediately started to send data back to
the Houston Command Center. THIS MISSION WAS NOT
“COOL,” “WOW,” OR ANYTHING ELSE BY THE MOST
EXTREME OVER-PERFECTION EVER SEEN. DO YOU STILL
THINK THAT VOLTAIRE’S INFAMOUS QUOTATION, HERE
DISCUSSED, HAS UNQUESTIONABLE VALIDITY? REALLY?
In the word of science, there is no “good,” “bad,” or “excellent”
parlance I am not sorry to state. What one can find, under the
serious framework, are “ACCEPTABLE,” “INCONSEQUENTIAL”
OR “INEFFECTUAL,” AND “OPTIMUM.”

DO YOU THINK NASA WAS COUNTING ON “LUCK” AND


“COMMON SENSE”? DARPA, NASA’s founding parent, states: “If
you are not failing frequently, you’re not succeeding enough.”

NASA, DARPA, AND BONAPARTE UNDER ABSOLUTE


AGREEMENT: “War [and any extreme undertaking in leadership,
management, business, any type of operations, as well as in life]
consists of unforeseen events, not in having assumptions [luck,
fortune, chance, etc.] E TO BE A GOOD GENERAL [LEADER,
CO-LEADER] YOU MUST KNOW MATHEMATICS; IT SERVES
TO DIRECT YOUR THINKING IN A THOUSAND
CIRCUMSTANCES.”

The Australian novelist Christina Stead (1902 – 1983) stated: “A


self-made man is one who believes in luck and SENDS HIS SON
TO OXFORD [UNIVERSITY].”

The layperson has a great and right adage: “Practice makes


perfect.” But for NASA’s the otherwise useful adage does not
suffice at all. They would increasingly go by the following:
“OVER-PRACTICING MAKES IT OVER-PERFECT.”

When history, as now, presents us with many existential


challenges at the same time, the leader and co-leader only and
sole option is to trans-embolden (in extremis) the phrase:
“OVER-PRACTICING MAKES IT OVER-PERFECT.” When you
get to the canonical milestone, you must make it more robust and
forceful for Life, since the dynamics of the Planet are always
changing EVER-UPPING the quality, quantity, and modes of its
demands to utter it simply.
PRESENT VERSUS FUTURE!

Evelyn Lindner: “Pessimism is a luxury of good timesE In difficult


times, pessimism is a self-fulfilling, self-inflicted death sentence.”

COMMON SENSE DOES NOT EXIST, BEYOND AS A


POPULAR ADAGE, UNDER THE DRACONIAN DISCIPLINE OF
APPLIED SCIENCES! By © Copyright 2009 Andres Agostini –All
Right Reserved – At www.AgostiniWorks.blogspot.com,
www.CyberCV.blogspot.com, www.twitter.com/SciCzar

Unless one is a “rocket scientist” as prominent as Dr. Werner von


Braun, common sense does not exist. Layman common sense
does not exist in this multi-Eon Era. Every «walk of life» person’s
common sense does not exist in this multi-Eon Era.

Does one remember that this the Epoch of the Society Of


Knowledge? Is that only for e-mail message exchanging? As the
scientific maxim states: “Everything is related to everything else,”
many agents of the economy and the scientific and techno logical
establishment has made certain that the extremely subtle but yet
physical of “Everything is related to everything else” get extremely
and more fluidly connected and even over-connected.

As every piece of information is decipher or under-ciphered


mathematical notation, “Code is code.” And when this happens,
mathematics, science, technology, politics, and society (to cite a
few) get everything digitized and over-digitized. Now, every build
up on everything else in much faster and shorter and swifter
cycles in an ever-faster and faster “in real time” building-up (in
extremis) progression.

All that a person needs (scientifically of the biological family of


primates) is to have (a) A Brain, (b) A Thumb, and (c) A rock.
After thousands of years of knowledge advanced marshaled by
the longing, aspirations, and ambitions of the human being’s
eternal search of “progress,” the human race has gone above and
beyond so many canonical milestones. Stated simply, many
prominent American scientists will prove the reader, as per their
statements, that the entirety of the scientific knowledge is today
(just for the time being) doubling at about every five (5) years.

If there is no an existential hazard “crystallized” on the face of


Earth, in the range of 20 to 35 years mortality will be conquered,
as the prominent scientists insists. Most of them you will find in
the board of directors of the “Singularity University,” a
collaboration by NASA and GOOGLE.

I have always been intrigued by these dramatic and especially


subtle forces, forces out of which one reads trends, trends that
are embedded in scientific textbooks. In 1985 I became even
more intrigued by Alvin Toffler’s “Future Shock” textbook. Since
them, I have become exceptionally proactive in researching these
forces. I can give some scenarios of what can happen regarding a
plausible trend to happen in the future, NOT TO
PROGNOSTICATE but to practice zillion futures to get re-adapted
well and learn possible plausible lessons coming from the time to
come way in advance. I began so to anticipate unthinkable risks,
matters which I strongly analyze and manage.

ON THE TECHNOLOGY DOUBLING AND THE PROGRESSION


OF SUCH AND WHY THE NOTION AND UTILIZATION OF
COMMON SENSE IS AN IMMENSE MISTAKE (UNLESS YOU
ARE, AS THE OXFORD DICTIONARY REFERS, A “MONSTER
OF OMNISCIENCE”), I will cite a bit on an American literature
highly regarded, along the lines of the believes of the prominent
scientists I have mentioned earlier. Quotation will ensue now:

“Humans are creative beings. They think and are the source of all
knowledge for society, whether in the form of new sources of
power E , new methods of communication, faster and cheaper
personal transportation, or an improved method for irrigating
crops. We continue to create new ideas that add to the world’s
storehouse of knowledge. 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 BY 2013.”

ELOQUENT QUOTATIONS, HERE FACILITATED AND


ALONGSIDE WITH THE EXCERPT ABOVE, ARE EXCELLENT
FOR THE READER TO MAKE HIS / HER OWN CONCLUSIONS.
AS FOLLOWS:

Lord Salisbury (3rd Marquess of Salisbury) 1830 – 1903 (British


Conservative politician; Prime Minister): “No lesson seems to be
so deeply inculcated by the experience of life as that you never
should trust experts. If you believe the doctors, nothing is
wholesome: if you believe the theologians, nothing is innocent: if
you believe the soldiers, nothing is safe. They all require to have
their strong wine diluted by a very large admixture of insipid
common sense.”

René Descartes 1956 – 1650 (French philosopher and


mathematician): “Common sense is the best distributed
commodity in the world, for every man is convinced [under the
greatest life-to-death blunder] that he is well supplied with it.”

George Bernard Shaw 1856 – 1950 (Irish playwright): “A man of


great common sense and good taste, meaning thereby a man
without originality or moral courage.”

T.H. Huxley 1825 – 1895 (English biologist): “Science is nothing


but trained and organized common sense, differing from the latter
only as a veteran may differ from a raw recruit: and the methods
differ from those of common sense only as far as the
guardsman’s cut and thrust differ from the manner in which a
savage wields his club.”

Albert Einstein 1879 – 1955: “Common sense is the collection of


prejudice acquired by age eighteen.”

The FUTURE always wishes to readily equip the present with


novel information. Why? Because the FUTURE considers the
PRESENT a failed stated in the realm of time, and does not
desire to get implicated with the downsides of a sub-optimal
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 Shakespeare’s 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 FUTURES – already scattered among us – has a


lot to offer to the PRESENT, namely an invaluable
out-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 think
of anyone more visionary than the king in his class, the FUTURE
itself?
The PRESENT, unfortunately, is somehow anecdotal while the
FUTURE ruthlessly and relentlessly abides by ever-emerging
scientific truths. These truths contained vast gold mines for
creation, recreation, and super-creation, as well as for
devastation. The cultivated brains must root out the endless
dangers to capture the benefits, so humankind prevails on Earth
and much more beyond it if the Universe, too, –and its own
dynamics– warrants such a license.

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

“To me unchartered territory is the most splendorous ‘terra


incognita’ territory, chiefly because of its sheer number of
unknown knowns.” By Copyright 2009 Andres Agostini (Andy),
Friday, May/08/2008 + Arlington, Virginia, USA

The term singularity entered the popular science culture with the
1993 presentation at NASA-sponsored conference of a seminal
paper by San Diego State University statistician Vernor Vinge.
The abstract of the famous essay is as daunting today as it was
more than a decade ago:

Permalink: http://www.ArchSingularity.blogspot.com

“Within thirty years, we will have the technological means to


create superhuman intelligence. Shortly after, the human era will
be ended EIs such progress avoidable? If not to be avoided, can
events be guided so that we may survive? These questions are
investigated. Some possible answers (and some further dangers)
are presentedE”

“I just wonder if the FUTURE is always stalking on the PRESENT!


Perhaps, it is so. One thing can be ascertained, because of its
non erudite nature, the FUTURE (the over-ruling) is always
filibustering the PRESENT (the enslaved).” (Andy – Andres
Agostini, Jan/19/2009, 3:17 p.m. EST).

Andy-Andres Agostini: “these days—meaning: these


seconds—the totality of all is in the making perpetually. That to be
‘in the making’ made—at this time—is relentlessly thought of and
thought through way in advance. This is a technique to
CURRENTLY get your brains over-insourced by zillion, practiced
futuristic scenarios.” (Andy – Andres Agostini, Jan/17/2009, 10:21
p.m. EST).

"The FUTURE WILL HIT the PRESENT AND ITS RESPECTIVE


GROUND, RUNNING. All of that as it has been seen up to the
present time. This is a hyper-accelerated Eon and
ever-increasingly by an over-exponential factor. Said
‘over-exponential factor,’ even when multiplied by many orders of
magnitudes as in effect it is, the non-linear geometrical growth of
it is by most people immeasurably underestimated." – (Andy –
Andres Agostini, Jan/19/2009, 11:09 p.m. EST).

“To me–The PAST is more like Alice (Alice's Adventures in


Wonderland). The PRESENT seems more like Mr. Hyde while the
FUTURE appears to be more like the conspiracy of Dr. Jekyll and
Dorian Gray. Perhaps, we will need the combined effort by
Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christies to decipher the outright
enigmas, namely those stemming from the
always-awaited-but-intruding FUTURE.” – (Andy – Andres
Agostini, Jan/19/2009, 11:21 p.m. EST).

“Progress is the future outcome of cascades of ‘current moments’


flowing divergently.” – (Andy – Andres Agostini, Jan/25/2009, 5:04
p.m. EST).

The PRESENT is introvert adhocracy as the FUTURE is


technocracy in perpetuum. The PRESENT is an illiterate
adhocratic one while the FUTURE is the technocratic, 'omni
mode' savant. The PAST is hollow, inconsequential fossils.

Most business plans are ill-conceived indeed, as they are


written-up and reckoned with the eyes fixed in prehistory. IF IT IS
NOT AN ACTUAL SUB-SET OF A MUCH GREATER AND
THOROUGH ADVANCED RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY,
THE FIRM WILL MEET GARGANTUM CHALLENGES.
Otherwise, there will be great opportunities! One end of the
greatest 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 facet
of 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 and
taste. The unavoidable consequences of this FUTURE can be
mitigated or at least somehow modulated. Evidently, this
FUTURE’s UPSIDES can, perhaps, be seized and even
amplified. To meet both requisites, there is one HUGE
prerequisite before proceeding any further. That is, that the
TOTALITY of HUMANKIND has to converge—‘on the
doubles’—on the most essentials Herculean tasks to do in order
to attempt the sustainability of the corresponding civilization as it
is known / perceived now.

Possibly, this FUTURE will not have—as per the hopes treasured
by all-walks-of-life eyewitnesses—a ‘natural tendency.’ Put
plainly, because it is being envisioned and worked-out
preternaturally, this FUTURE may appear – before our naked
eyes – with extreme tendencies and directives that evoke the
most extravagant and transhuman mandate. The terms
“extravagant” and “transhuman,” in this case, apply for even the
ultimately leading-edge practitioner of the scientific realm, either
within the eminent establishment, or those with an
unauthenticated 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 THE


maximum MONARCH OF TECHNOCRACY by his own right,
Remember? Yes, yes, yes—I know. Technocracy, the gentleman,
just espoused a lady with an appalling temperament that looses
composure oft, even before the state’s visits by the Holly Pope.
Her fist name is “Global.” Her surname is “Crises.” That’s the
reason why this “power couple” has made Sir Francis Bacon a
best-selling icon, “FOR TIME IS THE GREATEST INNOVATOR.”
Gotten it?

The PRESENT carries on superfluously. But the FUTURE is


over-impregnated and super-immersed with detailed meaning and
significance and projected transgressively a là ‘omni mode,’ as
well as with its manifesting tangibly and intangibly pervasive
ubiquity.

Perpetual innovation is a rogue truth to this PRESENT. The


breadth, depth, scope, and rate of acceleration of this FUTURE’s
perpetual innovation will be endless, endless so beyond the
wildest dream or nightmare ever conceived by the ultimately
noted or most criticized sci-fi writer. To attribute to this FUTURE’s
perpetual innovation a quality of far-fetched will be an extreme
over-simplification.

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


function of the FUTURE. The PRESENT is a function of the PAST
only in part. Remember: The FUTURE is always pre-clashing
and/or clashing the PRESENT, thus continuously shaping and
re-shaping the PRESENT to a great extent. The FUTURE is, so to
speak, 30% a function of the PRESENT and 70% a function of the
FUTURE itself. The PRESENT is bathed by permanency and by
the quality of being impermanent. The PRESENT is not a
snapshot or fixed (static). It is the linkage, superposition, and/or
intertwining of many films (dynamical). Its dynamism grants itself,
the PRESENT, huge ambitions to becoming the FUTURE while
trying to capture the ‘here and now’ mirage. There are too many
‘heres’ and a myriad of ‘nows.’

The PRESENT is 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 to considering the possibility of anything
going wrong, no matter how remote the location or complexity of
the implementation environment.

The PRESENT and the FUTURE engender tsunamis of


CHANGES. When you altered your work because of competition
and/or difficult times, you are CHANGING your professional
occupation (organizational strategy). When you reflect and modify
you innermost, you are CHANGING your essence to some extent.
CHANGING your essence to being ADAPTABLE to ever-shifting
realities. When CHANGE is always altering all types of
CHANGES, the scientific properties of known and unknown
changes get modified, sometimes profoundly. This extreme
modification is what I have been referring to ‘CHANGED
CHANGES.’

CHANGED CHANGES make the overwhelming case for ‘beyond


unprecedented’ reinvention of humans, business and lifestyles,
organizations, businesses, governments, nongovernmental
organizations, societies, and worldwide society. In the process,
the extreme makeover is in nothing superficial or similar. And the
call is an abrupt wake-up alarm to all sorts of leaders, managers,
entrepreneurs, business owners, government administrators,
consultants, 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, what
is presently relevant for you to envision are the floating, fluxing,
cross-railed FUTURES as they climb the treacherous
building-block ladder, the ladder of accumulation of opportunities,
challenges, and perplexing, but exuberant, tradeoffs. These
tradeoffs poise the least thinkable of the unthinkable results,
challenging our body (physiology), mind (psychology), and soul
(spirituality). To apply for practical leadership credentials will be a
nearly, though not impossible, insurmountable enterprise.

How insurmountable? As nearly insurmountable as attempting to


hike the Everest cloth-less, equipment-less, ill-prepared, without a
crew and the indispensable Sherpa, as you walk and climb toward
the mountain’s peak with your back focused on the peak and
while your eyes are grabbed by the starting-point locus. You can
always walk into the FUTURE backwards to revive the fossilized
vestiges of blur/made-up memories that eat your soul out.

You know what the PAST is? Reply: The eternal creative-tension
discrepancies between the FUTURE and the PRESENT,
encapsulated in a stream of segments from the ‘preterit tense’
kingdom, a kingdom that is neither awaken nor significant.

Clearly, the genetics of the human beings will have a notable


impact on the psychology and physiology of the humans until the
FUTURE’s say. Such a say has a designated ‘due time.’ By all
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, there’s the facet of blended UPSIDE RISKS with
DOWNSIDE RISKS. To really get the OPPORTUNITIES the
DOWNSIDE RISKS must be terminated or, at least, mitigated.

Such eternal creative-tension discrepancies —as imposes the


rogue and nearly ageless interrelationship between the FUTURE
and the PRESENT—wage a 'preemptive war' to get the PAST
under retirement. These eternal creative-tension discrepancies
make three major displacements. Firstly, it displaces the PAST to
a corner where vestiges are fossilized but not looked after.
Secondly, it displaces the PRESENT closer to the FUTURE.
Thirdly, the FUTURE pulls pervasively the PRESENT to the
FUTURE’s intimate spheres of influence, since this monarch (the
FUTURE) wishes the PRESENT to be the ultimate, loyal subject
of the FUTURE. This wish from the FUTURE is to this
monarchical ruler a sine qua non without fail.

It must be mentioned that interrelationship between the FUTURE


and the PRESENT is intense and will become increasingly more
intense, beyond the boldest and lucid imagination.

Mother Nature is a great and loving and noble matriarch. The


Universe is the oldest and wisest Patriarch, perhaps the elder son
of the greatest intelligence of all. The MultiVerse (many universes
with, at the same time, many dimensions) is not only the
maximum, all-enabling Patriarch, but also a pervasive Patrician
holding the greatest intelligence, wealth, perhaps the elder son of
omniscience, nanotechnology, biotechnology, robotics, and A.I.
(artificial intelligence). NASA just found plenty of water in the
Moon’s South Pole.
Successful and tough reverse-engineering captures breakthrough
innovations for the PRESENT’ and from the FUTURE’s dominion.
Reverse-engineer all regardless of its origins, terrestrial or
extraterrestrial. This is important to bear in mind.

Successful and tough reverse-engineering captures breakthrough


innovations for the PRESENT’ and from the FUTURE’s 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-biogenesis and bio-genesis was (at least and as it
seems) massively instilled from the outer space. If extraterrestrial
beings existed, they would be, in fact, siblings to current humans.
How come? Because there are other genesis different from
biogenesis 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.

To capture benefits and to extreme-make-over leadership and to


scientifically steward disruption potential, you need to understand
the PRESENT, the FUTURE, and its frenzy interrelationship. In
making this effort optimum—and among other prerequisites—we
must find out and address two topics. One topic has to do with
how we reached this PRESENT out of a scattered PAST’s
technological accomplishment as we constructed an expanded
knowledge repository just by practicing future scenarios through
radiant foresight, far-sight, hindsight, insight, and innermost-sight.

Another topic is that insidious habit of the FUTURE in seducing


the as-of-now PRESENTS while the citizens of such PRESENTS
make us agent so many looking-forward changes that set afire the
interrelationship between this PRESENT and this FUTURE. Now
we know how we got to ‘here’, ‘here’ is the hyper-dynamism of
flows, in-flows, counter-flows, avant-garde flows,
crossed-pollinated flows, point-inflecting flows. “As-of-now”
exactly refers to the PRESENT-FUTURE’s own tête-à-tête.

‘Here’, while in the PAST, was a bit statistical but never really so.
The so-called ‘here’ is undergoing a total immersion of
numberless processes, 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).

Then, he / she has to make the greatest effort of all, that is, to
think unthinkably in relation to present forces and respective
futuristic trends—both subtle and dramatic ones as well as those
driving and marshalling and enforcing just brute-force dramatic
ones—by means of the practical implementation of scenario
planning.

Thereinafter, your unthinkable thinking about FUTURES must


become more refined, enhanced, exuberant, streamlined, diverse,
expanded, and extended. In doing so, it never suffices to come up
with a three-scenario forecast. Subsequently, forecasts must
carry with you as many plausible or implausible scenarios as
resources required never loosing the maximum rigor. Also, no
optimum forecast is great enough if it is not accompanied of an
arsenal of plans of contingency. Each scenario crafted must have
its respective, unambiguous plan of contingency without a fail.

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

The PRESENT is always unnecessarily delayed or even lost and


absent-minded because its limits are impermanent and
capabilities are finite. The PRESENT never contemplates
fast-forward-ly, but in reversal in so adding to its even greater
disadvantage. The FUTURE operates beyond the offensive
acceleration of ‘light speed’-plus and nearly without or with zero
limits or constraints or borders. The FUTURE is the Napoleonic
Emperor that does everything only under its own terms, exploiting
every advantage and disadvantage to its lucrative well-being and
omni-ruling.

The FUTURE is accustomed to spying on the PRESENT. How


come? The FUTURE is the PRESENT’s debriefing one. The
FUTURE is, in many cases a virtuoso, though it at times voyeurs
the PRESENT. What a horrendous vice! Such deed will NEVER
be tolerated. How do you REHAB the FUTURE? Group therapy?
Grouping it with whom?

The PRESENT is sleepwalking while the FUTURE is ‘child like’


wondered by daydreaming. In the mean time, the post-modern
modernity is a rush getting more and more modern by
unprecedented ‘shock and awe’ unearthed standards.

This criss-cross PRESENT will be reconstituted by the continually


crinkum-crankum FUTURE inevitably. There is going on a terzetto
in which the happenings are more or less like this: the PAST
(R.I.P), the PRESENT (thé dansant), and the FUTURE (tertium
quid). Clearly, the PAST is getting a CPR to be by historians.
Earned in his own intellectual right, Jefferson stated: “I prefer the
dreams of the FUTURE than history.”

Who would dare not to appreciate that nanotechnology,


biotechnology, bionics, and artificial intelligence making deep and
steep inroads? Incidentally, the definition of the omniscience
perspective can be revised at www.AllSciCzar.blogspot.com as
well.
The PRESENT is an absent-minded sardine while the FUTURE is
giant cuttlefish in conspiracy with an octopus.

Ying and Yang have combined forces of subtle and dramatic


origin. These days the PRESENT is a bit like a
pseudo-harmonized Ying-Yang relationship. The FUTURE is only
about Yang deeds.

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


The FUTURE is—so to speak—shaped à la Sir Francis Drake.

The PRESENT is more like Huckleberry Finn while the FUTURE


is perhaps the archetype of Genghis Khan and his Mongols.

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


extent—one of the forthcoming FUTURES. At some point ahead,
a PRESENT will be ultimately integrated into a single FUTURE.
Such a FUTURE, though, will reach a point in which being
bio-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 ©

Regardless of transhumanity, overhumanity, superhumanity,


transbiologicals, nonhumanity and ‘above and beyond’ humanity,
the hard-core essential is and will be not being human but
becoming and acting humanely. (March 12, 2009 at 1:58 p.m.

The PRESENTS are from appalling and contentious


interrelationship between Venus and Mars. The FUTURES are
only from stringent Mars. Go and ask about it Dr. John Gray.
The FUTURES are supervening upon the PRESENTS in
combination with the ruthless forces possess by the own
FUTURES.

The PRESENT concerns the animal and vegetable kingdoms.


The FUTURE is only about beyond post-humanity and its
staggering brute-force-and-dramatically-subtle INTELLIGENCE.

The PRESENT pertains to discovering science. The FUTURE is


absolute science dominance and nearly infinite power.

The PRESENT is always misled and misleading, treasuring a


great promise of deceit. The FUTURE is eloquently transparent
and clear, crippling—in advance—violators of ethics, morality,
principles, integrity, and dignity.

QUANTITATIVE ANALYZES VERSUS QUALITATIVE


ANALYZES. Version 1.2

Speaking of, say, the difficulties engendered by the global stock


markets, I learned a lesson quickly in 1996. In the R&D efforts
directly based on and implemented by (and/or serving) the
“industrial military complex,” there is this great rejection of
overdoing number crunching and the stemming modeling. In my
experience, I have seen and found it valuable to grant more
relevance to a combined used of (FIRST AND FOREMOST)
“Qualitative Analyzes” and (SECOND) Espoused with responsible
“Quantitative Analyzes.” Issues like “fuzzy logic” and the
apparent, but untrue, “illogicality” of quantum mechanics (whose
visionary logic is “covertly” embed ubiquitously) makes me (in my
case) to be extremely careful with such qualitative analyzes
without sacrificing the quantitative ones.

Evidently, THERE IS A GREAT CONSTRAINT IN TRANSLATING


(1) arguments, (2) subjectivities, (3) subtleties, (4) intricacies, (5)
anomalies and phenomena, (6) overt and covert processes, (7)
overt and covert interrelationships, interacting within your
"targeted" framework INTO APPLIED MATHEMATICS AND
APPLICABLE MATHEMATICAL FORMULAS. Regardless of the
practitioner's I.Q. and his / her ‘Three Of Knowledge’, WILL IT
SUFFICE (TO SATISFY INDEED THE ULTIMATE OUTPUT) TO
EMBED (TO INPUT) SUCH COMPLEX RULES INTO A
SPREADSHEET OR A SOFTWARE APPLICATION?

Dr. Ray Kurzweil suggests that although hardware’s processing


power has increased dramatically since the invention of the first
PC (and that of supercomputers) it will not suffice, to this date, to
process items, among others, such as aforementioned "(1)"
through "(2)." The throughput will be slow, so inappropriately,
offering (if it can offer anything at all) an output (“expected and,
above all, accurate, sustainable and reliable solution”) worse than
deplorable.

Kurzweil also suggests that as hardware has been getting faster,


the processing power of current software has been turning slower
and slower, compared to the progression rate personified by
current hardware. WHAT IS THEN THE QUESTION?

The question is, WILL YOU TRUST SUB-STANDARD AND


INFRA-OPTIMAL COMPUTATIONAL SYSTEMS TO MAKE
EXTREME CALCULATIONS AND MODELING CONCERNING
STUNNING CHALLENGES BEFORE TRUE ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE (AI) CONQUERS IT ALL?

Right now, and in order to be more dependent on quantitative


analyzes over qualitative analyses, we need "quantum
mechanics" (nano-technology and biotechnology under
hybridization) COMPUTERS to get the right outputs of the
FUTURE into the PRESENT besieged by omni-mode
obsolescence. Perhaps and within a decade or so from now, said
computers– the constituency of A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) will
serve society with a stunning problem-solving ability beyond
humanity's.

Subsequently and in the mean time, as we await those “quantum


mechanics” computers and their respective re-birthed software
applications (‘in silico’-based, neuronal-based, bio-based
informatics once the brain’s reverse engineering is completed),
we must grant much more relevance to bold qualitative analyses
espoused with some considerations (as a sub-set of such
qualitative analyses) given by qualitative analyses, especially
when dealing with complex problems in an ever-increasing
chaotic worldwide context.

On the stock markets– the insidious numericalization factor driven


by (i) greed and (ii) lack of universal play hugely (and this for the
great pain of the Global Economy and its corresponding ‘Global
Finance’). principles and diligent, evolutionary regulation, and (iii)
an absence of a priori, real-time over-watching “due process”
justice–,

WHAT IS THE FRESH-LOOK DEFINITION FOR RISK?

Robert Kennedy: The past is not the script of the futureEFuture is


not a gift; it is a daily conquest.

RISK, What is it from a unique, new perspective? RESPONSE:


Chiefly but not always, risk is pent-up energy. Pent-up energy
waiting to becoming constructive or destructive or both. What type
of energy does risk entail? RESPONSE: Mostly, KINETIC
ENERGY (the energy possessed by a body because of its motion
[or temporarily paused motion], equal to one half the mass of the
body times the square of its speed).

As any ENERGY, it is within its nature to get transformed and


transformed and transformed endlessly. To get transformed into a
lucrative initiative, the unleashing-process is scientifically
stewarded, so that ENERGY (as it contained in RISK) makes a
successful (optimum) landing in the ‘right quadrant’ (so to speak,
meaning superseding NASA’s greatest expectations by far. I
immediately explain why NASA has to be in this example). By
way of example and in this occurrence, let’s cite when NASA’s
Rover made it over-perfectly on Mars. How do you like that? This
is the accomplishment of an UPSIDE RISK. UPSIDE RISK is
always fruitful and advantageous.

When the unleashing of the kinetic energy is not known or it has


not been identified and controlled or when the management is
ineffectual (because it is not scientific enough), it takes place
towards the antipodes. This is the accomplishment of a
DOWNSIDE RISK. DOWNSIDE RISK is always fruitless and
disadvantageous. THE GOOD SIDE OF THE PROBLEMATIC
OUTCOME IF THAT ENGENDERS NEW KNOWLEDGE AND
HEIGHTENS AWARENESS. There is also an additional issue
when the DOWNSIDE RISK crystallizes into a disruption or a
loss. I will explain ASAP. The come-true DOWNSIDE RISK has a
huge magnitude as the Global Financial and Economic Crises
(GFCAC) overwhelmingly verify. Then, it starts to attract other
unbeneficial RISKS. How?

RESPONSE: Such a milestone as the case study spoken of


makes all-kinds of people bewildered, frightened, and sometimes
paralyzed. Paralysis is in this arena an extra terrible
characteristic. Actions are paralyzed because the mind is
terrorized by those biblical-proportion tragedies. If the GFCAC got
the minds of the world’s dignitaries in stalled—and that of the
supporting system of staff of such dignitaries, How do these
people respond effectively and efficaciously, say, to (a)
Bombardments by anarchists, (b) Pandemic flu, (c) Global
climate, (d) Over population, (e) Extremely-worsened
Poverty—globally, so forth?

Once a pre-existential downside risk is brought into existence, all


resources start to fall short. To begin with and recapping, the
dignitaries’ minds get inattentive and jammed to hold a veritable
consideration of a second or a third global crises at the same time
(energy, wars, failed states, maritime piracy, petroleum dictators,
etc.). And the good aspect of it is that we have an arsenal of
technological tools, like never before, to make Earth better.
Obviously, the 700-billion inhabitants of the globe—in one or other
magnitude as it depends on his / her resource availability— each
other must industriously and instantly help to get back to a decent
life, globally.

“Omniscience is the only salvation of Earth (a) if stringent and


absolute morality and ethics are universally practiced by the
totality of individuals, and (b) if, concurrently, the 700-billion
inhabitants collaborate lavishly and fluidly with each other. I am
still a realistic with a touch of optimism. Said optimism will come
true and grow if people become honest, compassionate, and
helpful to each others, as well as when solidarity among each
other is practiced universally. My optimism would raise the
highest bar if the greatest majority of the 700-billion would
become ‘good Samaritans’ genuinely. ” – Andres Agostini “Andy”
(Jan/24/2009), 4:23 p.m. – Arlington, Virginia, USA at
www.AgostiniWorks.blogspot.com

The most important resources, shared by everyone in different


degrees, are the Intellectual Capital. Resources like trained ‘first
responders’ are crucial. So is it with physical and digital
infrastructure. Spiritual Capital is the perfect spouse of said
“Intellectual Capital.” We must own the whole package without
preconditions.

There is an even more important resource. Without it, the


population of Earth can have a true ‘reality-check’ of how life is
after life. What resource is that? RESPONSE: The Moral, Ethical,
and Spiritual Capital! If humankind does have it and use it through
its entirety, it got some chances. If humankind does not have it,
go pray or meditate until the very last, forthcoming ‘reality-check’
talked about earlier. Even with the most splendorous omniscience
marshaled in ‘omni mode’ mode, grave and universal violations to
morality, ethics, as well as the pontification and application of
corruption, said omniscience cannot prevent us from delighting us
with a visit, without return, to life after life.

Amorality and immorality, beyond and above the banks and the
stock markets of the world (and beginning with WORLDWIDE
‘Main Streeters’), will ascertain the ultimate struggle to each and
every specie on the face of Earth. IF WE, THE
MOST-ADVANCED HOMINOIDS WISH IT TO BE OTHERWISE
AND INSTILL VIABILITY TO OUR ONLY SPACECRAFT (THAT
ONE THAT HOUSES THE 700-BILLION PEOPLE), THERE IS A
MUCH BETTER CHANGE, NOT AN IMPEACHABLE
GUARANTEE THOUGH. QUESTION: WHAT WILL BE YOUR
OWN ELECTION ON BEHALF OF CIVILIZATION FOR THE
GREATER GOOD OF ALL LIVING CREATURES ON THIS
SPACESHIP, EARTH? RESPONSE: I just wonder, to be a bit
kind to the reader!

In attempting to formulate futuristic scenarios –whereas one is


expected to be practicing a drill from its furthest hindsight through
plausible and even implausible foresight-driven outcomes (known
or unknown ones, weirdest or not), there are many errors in the
process. BUT WE MUST ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT ERRORS
ARE THE ULTIMATE LEARNING DEVICES AVAILABLE TO US.
Clearly and only, if we register, document, and extract knowledge
from said errors as a matter of a systematic habit brought into
robust execution. ‘Futuristic scenarios’ practiced and ‘futures’
drilled are the landmark foundation to formulating a robust
program of contingencies (countermeasures for the thinkable,
unthinkable, expected, and/or unexpected).

Accelerating the ‘error making’ cycle–especially of those not so


expensive undertakings–, allow the researcher, experimenter, and
tester to capture more and more knowledge. Knowledge that is
subject to falsification (à la Popper) or verification or amplification
as it is deeply analyzed with other already applicable scientific
truths.

Then, besides learning, one also becomes aware that must (a)
get more and more prepared through the approach of
omniscience (a bold effort to be made for good), and (b) that, in
getting really prepared, his / her contingency planning will never
be farfetched and/or too-farsighted in THESE TIMES OF THE
‘EVER-INCREASINGLY’ UNTHINKABLE ONES. THE
UNTHINKABLE ONES WILL GET INCREASINGLY MORE AND
MORE UNTHINKABLE. LET’S PAUSE THE GIRLIE CRY, GET
PREPARED FOR AND USED TO THE WORSE. THE BRIGHT
SIDE WILL ILLUMINATE A NEWLY-NASCENT ILLUSTRATION
EON!

RISK, in general and by the public at large, is traditionally


exceedingly underestimated. The mentioned underestimation
carries with it a perpetually life-to-death disruption potential. By
the way, this FUTURE has made a point of honor to demolish the
traditions of times from the PAST and PRESENT. I am not sorry
since Earth is not my invention. I disseminate onerous ideas and
reflections for the greater good if that’s feasible at all.
What are the fundamental questions and reflections we are failing
to formulate? What possible changes do we need to prepare for?
Is there a toolbox to solving the challenges spoken of here? YES,
ADVANCED RISK MANAGEMENT WITH THE OMNISCIENCE
PERSPECTIVE—AND THROUGH MORALITY, ETHICS, AND
PRINCIPLES—CAN TURN SOME IMPOSSIBLES, AS WELL AS
SOME DISRUPTING POTENTIALS, INTO VIABLE ONES. That
is, if there is not a major catastrophe in the world taking place and
if the application of this discipline is instituted universally, literally
by the totality of the population (clearly, with a variety of degrees
through such application). If said ‘advanced risk management with
the omniscience perspectiveE’ can, to a considerable extent,
save civilization, HOW DO WE DISCUSS OUR WORLDWIDE
CIVILIZATION’S CHALLENGES IN A USEFUL AND
CONSTRUCTIVE WAY?

ON CORRUPTION - ONE OF THE ULTIMATE RISKS THAT


REQUIRES PERVASIVE MANAGEMENT.

Corruption is within our genes. In the mean time it represents


ONE of the most challenging EXISTENTIAL RISKS. IN FACT, of
all global crises, the gravest one is the GLOBAL CRISIS OF
CORRUPTION. Corruption, besides being a ruthless existential
risk, is mostly ignorance and partly – in some cases – a major
health illness and/or a result of an ill-projection of an evil “role
model.” An insurance company can pay you off (up to some
amount and depending on many circumstances) for an employee
that unlawfully appropriates organizational assets (any tangibles
as well as any intangibles). Nonetheless, the insurance company
only acts – and if one’s covered – post facto (i.e., a posteriori).

Having studied all kinds of risks – including maritime, kidnap and


ransom, errors and omissions and those related to healthcare,
complex manufacturing and avionics – I can easily assert the
following. We in the West (North America and Western Europe as
well as in Japan) have individuals and organizations that only
manage scientifically. They are not too known and or popular. We
practiced the most advanced (non insurance) risk management
ever imagined. LIKE WHAT? To a great extent like that of
DARPA, NASA, and other eminent scientists over and beyond
DOD. My method is called “Transformative And Integrative Risk
Management,” (TAIRM) and a bit more described at
http://www.slideshare.net/andresagostini/definition-of-tranformativ
e-and-integrative-risk-management-authored-by-copyright-2005-a
ndres-agostini-andy-arlington-virginia-usa

I speak in first person because it is my method and I like to


assume my comments. Everything, via TAIRM, deals – through
applied omniscience as I have defined it at
http://www.slideshare.net/andresagostini/1-1610862 – with clever
actions way beyond any asset becoming compromised and
flowing into disruption. To cite a quick example, TAIRM is heavily
immersed into Forensics Risk Management, the thoroughly
studied taxonomy of a “happened” disruption potential that
ultimately gained sufficient critical mass. Forensics Risk
Management, under TAIRM, gets the practitioner greatly prepared
when dealing in FORESIGHT FOR LIVE by practicing endless
scenarios (advanced scenario methods).

TAIRM aims – depending on the customer’s budget – at (a)


Eliminating, (b) Decreasing, (c) Modulating, (d) Controlling RISKS
IN ADVANCE to “exploit” their inherent and lucrative UPSIDES.
WHY? When you do (ongoing-ly) your risks, YOU CAN
CAPTURE YOUR FISCALLY SOUND EARNINGS. It is not about
managing risks for the sake of risk; it is for the sake of sustainable
and profitable growth, regardless of extreme business climate.
THAT WHY EVERY BUSINESS PLAN IS ILL-CONCEIVED IF
AND WHEN THE TOTALLY OF SAID BUSINESS PLAN IS NOT
A SUB-CHAPTER OF A GRANDER PROGRAM AND
STRATEGY OF ADVANCED RISK MANAGEMENT.

Many people become corrupted because they have the genes


(genotype) for it. Others have a minor “output-ted” pre-genotype
(phenotype) – that in getting related with the amplest environment
– sometimes the phenotype and genotype become mutually
reinforcing and synergistic both for evil and ill. When more than
one person becomes a “cluster” with others with a tendency of
having these problems, “energy” gains sufficient critical mass to
implement outrageous malfeasance. IS THIS SOLVABLE AT
ALL?

Yes, if you do the right things and you establish a relationship with
an expert in the subject, an expert that is not a “snake oil” seller,
but a consummated professional. He will co-manage – prior to
you authorization – many unthinkable facets to cripple the
violations against company’s policy, morality, integrity, and ethics.
Unfortunately, nearly the totality of psychometric tests won’t
render you the most covert and destructive case in due
(opportune) time. TAIRM engages into a huge depth of
understanding the personal cosmology of your firm’s personnel.
All of this for a fraction of insurance premium program. The
insurance company – as if we were speaking of mechanics – has
“bearings” that only rotate within and through financial systems.
TAIRM is highly sophisticated management brought to the field of
action with the applied omniscience perspective among many
other provisions. In fact, if insurance and reinsurance companies
used TAIRM, they would be obliged to reduce immensely any
premium rate. There is a great deal of cholesterol, greed, and red
tape in most of said companies. THIS IS THE REAL DEAL!

If we see the appalling problem by Mr. Madoff, we will clearly


realize that the magnitudes of his multi-level “operation” was of
epic proportion. But if we see this as an EXPRESS AND UTTER
CONSPIRACY BROUGH TO ACTION, we will realize that this
one will pale compared with other “operations” instituted either by
“practitioners” from the private and public sectors, as well as by
NGOs and, perhaps, supranational organizations. If one takes the
time and counsel, I insist he can get the corruption out or at least
to a quite manageable degree.

Corruption is a terrible form of ignorance of supine ignorance. All


risks stem from ignorance. The pharmaceutical remedy is applied
omniscience to state it succinctly. Many of these evil and/or
flawed genes will be soon addressed by genomics’ gene therapy,
namely with the modification and/or replacement of flawed genes.
Clearly, there are not resources to cure (via genetics) those who
suffer this illness within the almost and worldwide population of
800-billion “all walks of life” Main Streeters.

Incidentally, I am not a moralist not an ethicist. In any case, all


humans are flawed. But not all humans are corrupted. My father
died of a terrible disease because in practicing law he could not
never ever stand corruption neither committed by criminals nor by
judges themselves. Something extremely close happens to me,
though I don’t get that upset. I have too many years working the
positives and the negatives of the personal cosmology of the
“human factor.” The human factor – regardless of the huge
progression of science and technology – is making a swift walk
backwards, ascertaining the greatest success of failure.
Humankind always has the “civil right” to downgrade itself into
cavemen lifestyle or upgrade itself and rise above and beyond
Nature.

In less than 45 days, over 400 lives were lost because the “flying
submarines” could not navigate “with an even keel” the sea
waters. 400 lives are dead because of systemic and systematic
and ever-increasingly universal corruption. The latter equates
that, because of lack of Risk Management Implementation, those
innocents lives were lost.
I do write, tweet, and author works reminding people that when a
4-year old child gets his candy stolen by an adult instituting a
Bismarck’s stratagem, the worldwide human race is going back to
the cavemen times. I am concerned about it. I insist that this is the
gravest global crisis of Earth. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO
INSURE THAT PEOPLE DEALING WITH THE FINANCIAL,
ECOLOGICAL, ENERGY CRISES DO THE RIGHT THING IF
THEIR HONESTY HAS BEEN TAKEN FOR GRANTED? I am
seeing too much mediocrity. Many people have gone to the
greatest universities and from their best up-bringings but they are
determined to do things in evil and in error. Bertrand Russell
stated: “I know more people who prefer to die than to think.”
Corruption is, too, the ultimate crown jewel of Mediocrity Dom.

A WORLD BASED ON COMPLEXITY?

Everything has become so very complicated these days.


Complexity, if the leader is to be truly successful and sustainably
successful in increasingly amorphous, re-adaptable, unchartered
waters, he must understand complexity multidimensionally.
Identifying this fact and verifying its increasingly complex nature,
take us to great depth and breadth of reflection. For a long while,
all-walks-of life people has made some inappropriate jokes on,
“Eyou don’t need a rocket scientists to do thatE” Sometimes you
do need a prominent scientist handy. Some other times you do
need to operate on the breakthrough by such prominent scientist.

You explain how to make a pencil plainly – and in the process –


you will miss a whole body of numerical and narrative data. But if
you listen up to two manufacturing scientists to speak about the
creation of a single and plain pencil, you’ll immediately realize that
the great majority of even learned people have taken for granted,
for decades, a number of flaw assumptions. Clearly, this is fact
but this also a metaphor.
The pencil metaphor applies to any endeavor in life as it is
brought about by the marshalling-in-the-entrenched-fields leaders.
As people “satirize” the rocket scientists pejoratively, in general
people oppose to those who – as per these current times – are
against the simple conception (and linearity) of so-called
“common sense.” Getting back for a second to rocket scientists,
through NASA and for the totality of fields of knowledge, they
opened up so many windows of opportunity to accessing to
leading knowledge. How?

NASA’s scientists, leading some 4,000 different contractors for


the Apollo Program, conceived and instilled to the Shakespearean
lingua franca 20,000 new terms, new terms of universal usage by
prominent thought leaders. Shakespeare, at his time, endowed
the fascinating and sophisticated English language with 10,000
new words. Both efforts are highly appreciated by those who are
always challenging Cambrian “common sense.” Who would dare
to satirize the Apollo Program and its zillion of by-products and
by-services, remembering that a “product” is a service waiting to
happen?

I am a strong believer of perpetual education, perennial


mind-shaping, eternal global sophistication, as well as extremely
instituted preparation way before undertaking any responsibility.
In preparing – having done your prior homework by thinking
unthinkably – it is absolutely crucial to have a bold and broad
contingency planning not for the sake of theory but for the sake of
pragmatic and accelerated resolution of problems. “Theory” has
been caricaturized heavily by some alleged leaders. Einstein, on
the subject matter, reminds us: “I do not know of anything more
practical than theory.”

A prominent Danish physicist, Dr. Niels Bohr (1885 – 1962),


offered some words of wisdom to countermeasure the ridicule
validity of “common sense.” His actual words were “One of the
favorite maxims of my father was the distinction between the two
sorts of truths, profound truths recognized by the fact that the
opposite is also a profound truth, in contrast to trivialities where
opposites are obviously absurd.” No more are these the times of
Thomas Paine.

I need to add something important to the great intellect of Dr.


Bohrs’ quotation. There are two additional dimensions of “truth”
very much in use these days. One is the “adversarial truth” that is
sentenced by a judge. The other – extremely important to me and
without undermining the crucial value of due process
jurisprudence – is the “scientific truth,” chiefly that as per the
applied omniscience. Since in science the insidious “over-
politicization” does not make an entrance, depth is much more
profound and much less subjective. I have a little doubt. Is DUE
PROCESS by THE PEOPLE as effectively just as DUE
PROCESS BY THE ESTABLISHMENT THAT THE PEOPLE
ELECTED? Indeed!

Beyond taking this or that side, it is opportune to admit that


honorable Senator Edward Kennedy was an actual personification
of an engaged leader indeed. I do like – to a great extent –
leadership as exercised by honorable president Ronald Reagan
too. The United States and the World has lost a great leader. My
condolences to the family and friends of Senator Kennedy.

Staying on our magnificent leadership theme, I have a story for


you by John F. Kennedy. We know the world lived then an
extremely difficult time with the Cold War, among other
“amenities.” I suggest my colleagues and customers to read thrice
the speech by President Kennedy at Rice University. There is this
avid habit of John, Robert, and Edward – not meaning to rule out
any other within that great family – that I am in most agreement
with. And referring to the huge importance that they all gave to
being totally immersed on continuous education and outgrowing
their own selves. I have former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair in
high regard. It is not my job to judge him on anything. As
discussing some public policies in advancing the qualitative and
quantity state of the British Education Systems, you could hear
him repeat and repeat out-loudly three words, “EDUCATION,
EDUCATION, EDUCATION.”

NASA’s Chief Engineer Dr. Werner von Braun invited President


Kennedy to witness the testing of some rocket engine in direct
connection with the prior efforts that ascertain the triumph of the
Apollo Program. As the President was on the respective site and
walking through and to the observational location, he bumped into
a maintenance gentleman. He noticed that he was brushing
energetically the corridors of the NASA installation. More or less,
President Kennedy asked this hard-working person, “What are
you doing?” I think Mr. Kennedy noticed that the man was
over-committed in being compliant with his work and still he
looked proud of his “rough” responsibility. The man replied the
President with these words, “Emaking certain that a Man goes to
the Moon and comes back safely.” Clearly, this worker was
following up on the most vocal speeches by President Kennedy.
He is a canonical landmark example of the follower (co-leader).
He, too, was a statesman.

When some of my friends, colleagues or customers asks me why


I want to undertake a major, complex challenge, I respond to
them – almost instinctively – “Ebecause it is difficultE,”
respectfully paraphrasing President Kennedy keynote and wisest
speech.

Some authors, writers, editors, and bloggers use illustrations and


tables among other “tools” to illustrate their ideas better. I use
those and also institute the enunciation of great and even
unknown quotations. I like to get my message across to be
helpful. Some critics don’t like this but only the usage of wording.
Archimedes and Pythagoras gave unimpeachable dissertations
that do not favor said critics. These savants would not only write
but draw and sketch, not to mention Leonardo da Vinci’s
enterprises to enlighten souls and minds until these days.

In speaking about leadership – our central matter – we must see


many flanks, especially those ignored by ages as we open up our
minds to the most. Exercising leadership efficaciously and timely
is an act of success capturing the designated goals and
objectives early on.

I get people involved with some actionable tenets to get the


leadership going above and beyond when the going gets tough
too. I also use some “action” expressions – in the most accurate
possible way – to get our minds even more prepared. Sometimes
I make a great number of unanswered questions. Yes, I like to
ask myself endless questions as well, 24/7.

To this end I believe useful to reflect on some words of wisdom by


President Kennedy. WHY? Because, as per my POV, I believe it
will serve us well extending and extending further our
conceptions, assumptions, and perhaps our own system of
beliefs, cosmosvision, and comfort zones, especially in reference
with leadership.

He said: “Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friends
and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation
of Americans – born in this century [Twentieth Century], tempered
by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our
ancient heritage – and unwilling to witness or permit the slow
undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always
been committed, and to which we are committed today at home
and around the world. Let every nation know, whether it wishes us
well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any
hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the
survival and the success of liberty.”

Isn’t that great? Yet, Isn’t that valid as per this eons-streaming
age? Isn’t this the precise personification of an actionable
statesman? To be a true statesman you must first be a leader.
The maintenance gentleman spoke about it before, that is, a
statesman both leading and following within his / her frame of
reference.

The American Heritage Dictionary, regarding the lexicon


statesman, refers: “A man who is a LEADER in national or
international affairs ... A male political LEADER regarded as a
disinterested promoter of the public good E A man who is a
respected leader in a given field.”

To gain a greater perspective on the term “statesman,” I will


facilitate the definition the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. As
follows:

“Eone versed in the principles or art of government; especially :


one actively engaged in conducting the business of a government
or in shaping its policies E one who exercises political leadership
wisely and without narrow partisanship.”

The compound term “and without narrow partisanship” exactly


equates to win over the minds and souls of your crew (team). And
you can only secure this by being extremely coherent among
thought, word, and deed. Being accountable, responsible, and
transparent – at all times regardless of whatever other
considerations – will make one a successful leader.

On “statesman” the English Oxford Dictionary offers great insight


in complement. “Person skilled, especially one taking prominent
part, in management of State affairs; sagacious far-sighted
practical politician E person of ripe years and experience whose
counsel is therefore sought and valued E”

The Standard Encyclopedic Dictionary tell us, regarding a


statesman, as ensues: “One who is skilled in government; a
political leader of distinguished abilities E One engaged in
government, or influential in state affairsE”

I found a new definition to enlighten us further by the Webster’s


New World Dictionary. As follows: “A person who shows wisdom,
skill, and vision in conducting state affairs and dealing with public
issues, or one engaged in the business of government.”

All of these definitions touches the word government. Harvard


University Professor Michael Porter extended the quality of the
statesman to any type of organization, either public or private or
for-a-profit or NGOs or supranationals (such as the United
Nations, the World Health Organization, the Organization of
American States, the World Bank, so forth).

The statesman leader is equally a great leader or a splendid


follower. A governor, a major, a priest, a manager can each be
statesman too.

I did speak a bit about the ego issues. To tell you my way, I prefer
a great deal of ego than a great deal of low self-esteem. If the ego
is sick, it should be institutionalized. This discussion is flying into
loosing the sense of the ridicule. It reminds me of those byzantine
deliberations regarding the genders of the Angels.

The EGO possessor has something extremely good. That is, he /


she exudes energy like a gigantic dynamo. I have seen many
so-called “ego-trippers” with great communication abilities, with
compassion and civility, with a sense of cooperation, with a
marked sense of following through directives, protocols, and
norms. Many of those are extremely effective, not only while at
leading but also while at following. Many of them have shown and
demonstrated honorability. Yes, they do have objections when
they see something wrong and they make a timely observation,
critic immediately. They are never “yes-men,” they respect
authority highly because said authority is as qualified and within
lawfulness and legitimacy.

For some people, myself included, it is almost impossible to take


part in a cohesive team that is in the process of undertaking a
gargantuan challenge.

Some people are extremely proud of different GOOD THINGS. If


those things allow the leader and follower (co-leader) to build a
splendorous cathedral, What in Heaven’s is the problem?

Most of these people are over-accomplished and into


over-accomplishing, making extremely nervous and anxious those
citizens of the mediocrity-dom. That kingdom in which the
subjects vehemently worship supine ignorance after having being
to world-class academia and organizations.

Incidentally, a leader can be the ultimate acting and thinking


machine. But the followers must be top-class too. Everything has
become so stunningly treacherous, daring, and complex. Yes, a
great leader can make a follower “make up” in a moment of
weakness and emergency. But followers, as co-leaders, must be
premium-graded people (mind, body, and soul). Some are born,
some are made, but—the best ones—are those who have
decided to self-discipline and purify themselves and eternally
mortgage their own practical education. WHY?

Because no one is going to tender you the gift of applicable


knowledge or effective wisdom by an act of magic (?). It is not a
gift, it is an everyday conquest—that, by the way, is getting –
every second – more and more demanding.

BRIEF DEFINITION OF TRANSFORMATIVE AND


INTEGRATIVE RISK MANAGEMENT.

The “TRANSFOMARTIVE AND INTEGRATIVE RISK


MANAGEMENT©“ (TAIRM) system is constituted of all activities,
strategies and countermeasures necessary to achieve the
optimum degree of disruption-potential elimination, modulation
and control. This is attained with the TAIRM framework of
pre-facto / during / post-facto / forensics / lessons learned /
refinement / enhancement / restoration / continuity constraints of
operational effectiveness, sustainability, time and cost. In the
hard-core of TAIRM is embedded the implementation of the
systematic, systemic, holistic, Gestalt, ecumenical application of
management (all chapters), scientific (all disciplines), and
engineering (all specializations) principles and fundamentals
throughout all phases of the systems operation designated, in the
maximum pursuit and execution toward applied omniscience.

APPLIED OMNISCIENCE AS DEFINED AND IMPLEMENTED


BY © COPYRIGHT 2009 ANDRES AGOSTINI (ANDY)

What do I mean by instituting the Omniscience Perspective?

Applied Omniscience, WITH THE PERSPECTIVE OFE

This is a compilation on the lexicon applied “OMNISCIENCE”


(ever-marshalling in crescendo the greatest attempt until the last
exhale) to illustrate its meaning. When it comes time to manage
risks, futures, opportunities, leadership and great pre-existential,
existential challenges (sometimes labeled “global crises” with
disruption potential in-roadding Earth’s existence itself) of this
Era, via omniscience you exploit the positive facet of the
challenge by crippling and/or modulating the disruption potential,
partly or completely.

If the problem can’t be solved at the same knowledge level it was


birthed, let’s raise the ante dramatically—beyond and above any
yardstick—by instituting the omniscience perspective without any
mercy at all.

Ipso facto, you center-stage SUCCES or desired outputs to your


favor and that of your onboard crew. This vital notion must be
imbedded in the neurons of any Milleniunn-3 Leader, otherwise
nonsense is preached and practiced.

One must make the effort to get the closet possible to applicable,
applicable omniscience in the day-to-day battlefield. The reader is
fully entitled to make his / her own conclusion. It takes hard work
in extremis and a for-Life tsunami of determination to somewhat
embrace the practicality of this crucial concept.

I will first give the reader the dictionary’s definition of


“PERSPECTIVE.” Why? Because the idea is TO MANAGE WITH
THE OMNISCIENCE PERSPECTIVE. As follows: “per•spec•tive
(pEr-spµk“t¹v) n. 1. The technique of representing
three-dimensional objects and depth relationships on a
two-dimensional surface. 2.a. A view or vista. b. A mental view or
outlook. 3. The appearance of objects in depth as perceived by
normal binocular vision. 4.a. The relationship of aspects of a
subject to each other and to a whole. b. Subjective evaluation of
relative significance; a point of view. c. The ability to perceive
things in their actual interrelations or comparative importance.
–per•spec•tive adj. Of, relating to, seen, or represented in
perspective. –per•spec“tiv•al adj. –per•spec“tive•ly adv.”

This is the unified compilation of the Omniscience Definition:

so)

LEADERSHIP IS A FUNCTION OF MULTIDIMENSIONAL,


MULTIDISCIPLINARY AND CROSS-FUNCTIONAL
PREPARATION(*): ON EDUCATION AS PER THE ULTIMATE
EUROPEAN EMPEROR AND THE FATHER OF THE
AMERICAN CONQUEST OF THE OUTER SPACE PROGRAM.

(*) Preparation begins with the utmost discipline of the mind.

General Colin Powell: “There are no secrets to success. It is the


result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.”
Quotation commentary: Clearly, education takes an immense part
of preparation.

G. W. F. Hegel (1770 – 1831), German idealist philosopher: “Civil


society has the right and duty of superintending and influencing
education, inasmuch as education bears upon the child’s capacity
to become a member of society. Society’s right here is paramount
over the arbitrary and contingent preferences of parents.”

Andy: "Once you do your ethics, you can do your actionable


knowledge. Once your actionable knowledge is done by you, you
can do you future. When your future is done by you, you can do
your risks. When risks are done by you, you can do your
benefits."

INTRODUCTION

Mostly, this work addresses some deep and yet wise reflections
by Wernher von Braun and Napoleon Bonaparte. Both proved to
be great leaders in their respective areas of dominion. Taking
both considerations seriously will be extremely interesting and
productive.

Many authors, speakers, and experts elaborate “in circles” about


numerous traits and practices desirable for successful leadership.
Nonetheless, they gravely fail to link their reflection to desirable
and measurable objective, targets, and goals. It will never suffice
to attempt (in failure) to shed light (out the unnecessarily abstract)
by giving third-party examples whether accounts are real ones or
fictitious ones. You cannot sublime the “gamed” abstracts to get
readers in the marketplace while some authors offer the
“seductive” attraction to buy some “literature” bathed by ambiguity
for the sake of sales ratings. In practice this will not accomplish
anything but disappointment and even bankruptcy for the avid
reader and practitioner.

There are quite a few – sometimes many – optimum modes of


leadership. There some wonderful leaders too. Precision and
unambiguous actionable, transferrable language (a form of
knowledge encoding) is beyond absolutely indispensable.
Likewise, people speak and pontificate about “values” but they
never specify unambiguously what his / her values really are
about. Most reasonable people understand that without values
specified and practiced consistently and congruently, one cannot
exercise true leadership. No matter what some leadership authors
and success speakers will not fail to address many vital subject
matters in an ocean of ambiguity. The reader must get prepared
to anticipate what literature and “key note” speeches he / she
wishes to rule in or out.

Leadership is not only about accountability, transparency, and


responsibility but also about adaptive and resilient effectiveness.
The undersigned is thoroughly under the belief that in Century 21
– as many things are getting beyond reinvention – the leader is
going to need “real time” qualitative updating. People like Sir
Winston Churchill would have no problem to lead through these
daring times at all. If one thinks that this into the theoretical realm,
Einstein would tell him / her: “I do not know of anything more
practical than theory.” No one can get to a new place with an old
map!

Every sustainably successful leader must have his / her own


system to think unthinkably for Life. The criticality of this matter is
greatly ignored. This effort, of shaping and re-shaping one’s mind,
goes on until the last breath marshaled. “The empires of the
futures are the empires of the mind.” (Churchill). In my view,
leadership is such a serious matter which requires the finest and
newest from both science and art, not just art. Thorough lack of
integrity, morality, and ethics does never make a true leader.
Without those vital and actionable traits the “global crises of
corruption” – immensely universally practiced – can never be
mitigated and modulated. If the global crisis of corruption, as I like
to term it, it is not massively countered on the face of Earth, it is
childish to think that the global crises of, say, the climate, the
economy, the geology, and geopolitics can be seriously
addressed.

AND SOFTLY BUT PERVASIVELY SPEAKING ABOUT


MORALITY AND ETHICS, Sir Francis Bacon (1561 – 1626)
indicated: “In civil business; What first?: and yet boldness is a
child of IGNORANCE AND BASENESS EBoldness is an ILL
KEEPER OF PROMISE.”

Sir Francis Bacon: "No term of moderation takes place with the
vulgar (the highly educated ignoramus who worships supine
ignorance that is paralyzed in a world that - very much to his / her
taste - has been caught strategically off-guard for the past 12
years. Now he is frustrated and yet in a free fall)."

WHO IS NOT THE LEADER IN MILLENNIUM 3


(INFRA-LEADERSHIP)?

I respect all POVs. I respect all professions. I respect all


occupations. I respect all Credos. Everything said within the rule
of law, stemming from a Democratic stance, I respect.

Many people notoriously and outrageously insist that leaders are


just people with energy, inspiration (and inspirational) qualities,
with great interpersonal skills, REGARDLESS OF THE
INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL. Just that and nothing more to be
included in the trait profile. This might have worked in Centuries
19 and 20. These times that is THOROUGHLY IMPOSSIBLE.
In this case and in my case, I do not support anarchists who are
permanently challenging democracy and civility. Subsequently,
intellectual capital here represents updated, leading exact
sciences to the most. Clearly, all other disciplines are also
important but come in subordinated.

In Europe and Latin American (Romanic World), an intellectual is,


most of the times, a person who knows a lot about everything with
a marking dislike for TRUE SCIENCE.

None of those are the leaders who I and we care for in our
researching towards management and business. We do respect
their personas though. Many of the mentioned people get their
proximity to Applied State Of the Art with no basis, speculating
from superficiality, and, in my opinion, making many mistakes that
I will not enumerate now.

Nonetheless, there is something I can offer the reader. There are


things that either are not believed or shocked the mind of the
Infra-Leader in these (right-now) forceful times, unless your
mindset is science-driven indeed.

Ensuing, you’ll find astonishing, BUT SCIENTIFICALLY TRUE,


facts and figures on our DNA, as Genomics makes increasing
progression. READ IT CAREFULLY AND NOTE IT CALMLY.

AS FOLLOWS:

“Most of your genetic information is contained within the


double-stranded DNA molecules that reside within the nuclei of
your cells. DNA molecules are so large that if the coiled DNA of a
single cell were unraveled into a straight line, it would stretch
more than 6 feet; if all the DNA in the human body were put to
end, IT WOULD REACH TO THE SUN AND BACK MORE THAN
600 TIMES.”

QUESTION: How knowledgeable—in a ‘Society of


KNOWLEDGE’—does an efficacious leader must be,
immeasurably propelled by ruling science and technology?

Precautionary note: (Self) Precluded Science Immersion Equates


to ZERO LEADERSHIP WITHOUT A FAIL.

10 EASY BUT NON-CANONICAL STEPS FROM BUSINESS


ANARCHY TO GRANDIOSE PREVALENCE!

1.- You can’t be a manager and/or an entrepreneur if you aren’t a


Century-21 leader FIRST.

2.- You are not capable of being a Milleniium-3 leader if you not
exude and electrify hope. Furthermore, Napoleonic cosmosvision
must be espoused to said hope.

3.- To instill and disseminate and contaminate hope everywhere,


one must be endowed with the arts and sciences of the greatest
strategist. A ‘competitiveness waging’ practitioner needs to have
an ample historic view interfaced with an immensurable
determination to conceive and practice many insights and
far-sights well in advance. For those insights and far-sights,
readily actionable contingency planning must be taken into
‘beyond unthinkable’ precautions. Here is urgently called for to
“thinking extramurally and sinuously,” further away from any
system limits, dogma, or doctrine.

4.- To cohesively and coherently conjugate the PAST and the


FUTURE ? along with the ever increasingly creative tension
throughput-ted in said PRESENTS ?, you have to use an
extended (by far) version of the scenario method, an advance non
SHELL’s scenario method (limited the future practices to a
minutia of 3 scenarios) that deals with 20% (let’s say) of
KNOWNS (THINKABLES BY PREPARED MINDS) and 80% (so
to speak) of UNKNOWNS (UNTHINKABLES EVEN BY THE
MOST EMINENT PREPARED MIND). If you do scenarios but you
don’t sequester the “covert” and “subtle” mathematical patterns,
you’re sub-optimal. Got it become an extremely function
patternist, both with your BIO computer and your still in silico
computer.

5.- You cannot be a scenarist if you are not first a consummated


risk manager driven by the applied omniscience mental view and
NEVER EVER by the impious financial system.

6.- To be the aforementioned risk expert (a management


go-getter, as warfare-trained Doberman, in seizing sustainable
and increasing fiscally sound UPSIDES while — way in advance
— mitigating, modulating, terminating, and controlling
DOWNSIDES. “DOWNSIDES” here equates to potential
disruption (existential or not, especially when leaving them
untouched). This potential disruption countermeasure-r does not
bring about some savings. He / she brings (make it happen) about
a wealth of revenues out of incredibly disruptive, lucrative perils.
He / she transforms RISKS into immediate, short-, mid-, long-term
CASH, cash that engenders growth, innovation, and
sustainability.

7.- To secure optimally the UPGRADING (qualitative condition)


and UPPING (quantitative status) of the UPSIDES while
stewarding the DOWNSIDES, you must be 150% immersed with
science, technology, history, philosophy, theology, and
jurisprudence just to briefly cite a fraction.

8.- Being absorbed with a constellation of facets concerning


knowledge — both with a theoretical and empirical geneses —,
you now need to have a lucid and emotionally over-charged
vision.

9.- In order to make your lucid vision into a cashable


breakthrough — and paraphrasing the Oxford Dictionary’s preface
—, you must be an executable / applied “omniscience monster,”
so that you can navigate the northeaster-ed unchartered waters in
the Dom of Terra Incognita, tsunami-ed with a plethora of
abstractions, intricacies, subtleties, “hidden” / “ignored flank”
patterns and interrelationships, paradoxes, beloved anomalies,
phenomena, predicaments, so forth into concrete, specific,
counterintuitive, and palpable realities from intangibles and
intangibles and more and more intangibles. INTANGIBLES will
rule the world ruthlessly à la Tudor Family!

10.- To transform impossible realities into crystallized,


eco-friendly, and fruitful, increasingly more qualitative outcomes,
YOU MUST FIRST CONCEIVE AND DEVELOP THE FUTURE,
quite oft (99.9%) many FUTURES. If you also wish to become
truly serious at in-sourcing the distressed PRESENTS with the
maximum novelties from the intruding, voyeuristic, pre-clashing
FUTURES, those FUTURES that are always besieging the
PRESENTS, you must over-discipline your mind, body, spirit, and
soul to the utmost (in extremis indeed), thus turning yourself into
unimpeachable professional futurologists or futurist.

NOTE_#1: Nothing will ever function with sustainability if morality


and ethics don’t take precedent over anything and/or everything
else.

NOTE_#2: If you don’t do your risks à la Gestalt


(all-encompassing indeed) optimally, you will not capture your
lucrative goals and the sustainable growth for said goals.
Remember: Discern wholly and extramurally and sinuously!
NOTE_#3: To have material wealth, you must first have spiritual
wealth (religious or not). To have spiritual wealth, you must have
an insidious appetite and refined gusto for ΄always dynamical and
in crescendo΄ womb-to-tomb intellectuality, that intellectuality that
is brought in to the business battlefields staged in the global
marketplace. Subsequently, in parallel (simultaneously) you must
always nurture all types of wealth to gain critical mass to suffice
and satisfy the inputs requirements for sustainable growth. NOW:

NOTE_#4: If your corporate/organizational strategy is not


absolutely ancillary to a GRANDER RISK MANAGEMET
PROGRAM AND STRATEGY, your Business Plan will make your
enterprise defunct without a fail (sic). The Organization of
"STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT" is another infamous,
unfashionable subchapter of the GRANDER RISK
MANAGEMENT PROGRAM STRATEGY (embedded within
holism and applied omniscience perspective.) When mentioning
the term "Risk Management" I am only referring to my own,
proprietary methodology: "Transformative And Integrative Risk
Management" at www.slideshre.net/AndresAgostini. I can never
speak on behalf of third party’s “methods.” I’m not apologetic to
speak in first person since I am not backing off from my sole
responsibilities. I will never attribute my correct or ill conceptions
and findings to any third party whatsoever. I LOVE LOTS OF
CLARITY, CLARITY, AND CHIEFLY ENLIGHTENED CLARITY.

WHAT A CENTURY-21 LEADER DOES AND WHAT A


CENTURY-21 LEADER IS E !

-Andy: Leadership, if it is not subject to concrete objective &


goals, is scatological indeed. Precision & lucidness of purpose is
a must-have!

-Andy: Way too many ones speaking generically on VALUES &


ETHICS. I know mine & where they come from. What are you
values unambiguously? Really!

BRIEF INTRO (COMMENTARY): The reader, as his intellects


speaks to mine about these ideas (success precepts for genuine,
concrete leadership), should understand that this work is the
Agostini Prescription To Ultimate Leadership in Millennium 3!
Perhaps this bold approach will prove in practice that you can
never reach a new place with an old map! In my handwriting and
power, I have my own 45,000 tenets as the ones presented
below. I use first person to claim authorship on the presented
ideas. – Andres Agostini (Andy) at
www.AgostiniWorks.blogspot.com and
www.ecademy.com/account.php?op=cv&id=408933 and
www.CyberCV.blogspot.com “Challenge yourself” which I have
done this literally for a number of years. I find the derivatives of
this term – to some substantial extent – quite Socratic.
THE BRITISH DIPLOMAT, A TRUE STATESMAN AND LEADER,
AND HIS SIMPLE BUT PROFOUND COUNCIL (REAL LIFE):
“You go somewhere and you try and understand that country
because one day you may need to negotiate with that country.”
The extreme incompetence of diplomatic leadership of some
public servants in the world is begetting and begetting reckless
belligerent actions in the theater of operations as some of the
incumbents prefers “issuing” a projectile than a constructive
statement.

There, too, can be a theater of operation in and for peace. There


is no corner in the world that is no needy of truly smart diplomats
so this mention is to the entirety of the world. Did you know you
can launch a preemptive diplomatic campaign and prevail in
peace and without making your counterpart sour or in humiliation?
Honorable President Lincoln sentenced: “Am I not destroying my
enemies when I make friends of them?" QUESTION: Do great
armies need an even greater diplomatic force?

“Napoleon is the only man in Europe that knows the value of


time.” — Czartoryski

WHY NAPOLEON? I mention Napoleon Bonaparte frequently. He


finally got defeated by the British. I do admire an eminent British
leader, especially Sir Winton Churchill who stated: “The empires
of the future are the empires of the mind.” But I don’t admire
Napoleon because of his war waging, either winning or losing.
What I like about Napoleon is the following: (a) The vital
importance he gave to education, (b) The extreme stewardship of
the most advanced practices pertaining – as conceived by today’s
exact science practitioners – of the Systems Methodology, (c) His
grave interest for learning science, (d) His marked ambition in
trying to understand and ultimately cope with all kinds of
“phenomena” as per the forces of the Universe (strictly speaking
from the scientific stance), and (e) His emphatic gusto for learning
and speaking the English language and utilizing the disciplines of
Science, a recurrent suggestion he made to the people he cared
for. Many authors and academicians – researching the great
captain waging wars in history – insist that, at least until 1999, the
United States military establishment makes thorough doctrines
out of Napoleon’s “best practices.” Corsica, his birthplace, is a
Mediterranean isle of extremely proud, well-reasoned and
hard-working people. Although Italy and France has fought over
Corsica through many years back, Corsicans feel themselves –
and make certain the “outsiders” of Earth get it – neither Italians
nor French ones, just Corsicans. I am not a deity or official judge
to take Napoleon’s military contributions to a trial. That is not my
problem. My “problem” is, fundamentally, the immense degree of
avidness for learning and getting prepared by this immense
leader, as well as his findings and dissertations. When he first
came to France to study military science, he did not speak fluid
French. Even many of his most noted friends and colleagues –
before his rising as an emperor and a military statesman – used
to laugh at him because of his mumble and “foreign” accent and
because of his short height. Very much to my luck and proud
satisfaction, I made friends with a D-DAY Veteran, a very
courageous, civil and a man of faith. We got fascinated in
attempting to discuss and exchange ideas on some imbalances of
the World’s realpolitik geopolitics at that time. I tendered him a
World Atlas as a Christmas present as he gave me, in reciprocity,
a treatise on Napoleon for my birthday because of our concurrent
admiration of this historic figure — knowledge-driven — still
making great inroads in many knowledge fields. In speaking of
Napoleon, I do use habitually some vital mentions concerning his
formidable WISDOM REGARDING EDUCATION AND
EDUCATION ALONE, as well as for emphatic interest for Science
and the English language. In these two practical traits – and
beyond any ambiguity – Napoleon agreed with Voltaire’s view (or
otherwise) to immense exactness.
EXPERIENCE AS PER BENJAMIN FRANKLYN! “Experience is a
dear teacher, but fools will learn at no others.”

a peace maker.

# 24 – His / her leadership is always (and robustly so) linked to


concrete and unambiguous objective and goals.

# 25 – Always updates his methods, approaches, techniques,

# 29 – Strategizes the granularity of detail of everything. There is

# 40 – In his / her case and exercising this type of leadership,


strongly and coherently insists on and applies three aspects:
CIVILITY, CIVILITY, CIVILITY!

# 41 – Before chaos, he / she instills more and more chaos – of


greater magnitude, scale and speed – to level off and outsmart
the frame of reference targeted.
# 42 – Drives OPS with directness and / or indirectness, as well
as with the loose/control hybridization mode.

# 47 – Ascertains that there is not a single stone left unturned.

# 48 – Short-circuits to shortcut.

# 49 – Possesses innate ideas – in addition as those incubated by

antipodes.

# 50 – Determined to support his / her fellow crew members even


beyond his own skin.

# 51 – Is more willing to openly share fact-and-figure information


regarding their interests, constraints, and priorities as they have
earned each other’s trust.

# 52 – Invests in trust building prior to, during, and after their


commando operations (regardless of the business enterprise or
not theater of operations).

# 53 – Does not simply leverage trust when it is present; he / she


builds trust when is absent.

# 54 – Is a poker-faced strategic visionary raising the ante and


raising the scale of the latter as he / she modulates the timing and
“landing” of the calculated risks waged.

# 55 – Alleviates fear and builds trust.

# 56 – Builds so many “strategic surprises” in his mind lab way in


advance – in eternity overriding the most bizarre dreamed-of (and
practiced) futures with the foresight and far-sight perspectives – in
a way utterly impossible to be caught off guard by so-called
in-the-ground reality (that is, nothing more than partially controlled
hallucinations).

# 57 – Demolishes all forms of mediocrity, especially lying and


manipulating within his amorphous and versatile crew, enabling
the rogue ruling of the omni-mode optimum.

# 58 – Communicates pointblank as he / she elicits the content


with clarity, respect, cordially and, above of all, an upped sense of
urgency. Treasures reasoned fury for competitors, adversaries,
and industrial spies, as well as in transmutation of weaknesses
into stern strategic advantages over his / her contrarians.

# 59 – While focusing on several specific matters to tackle and


their rules of engagement, he / she never loses sites of the
contexts targeted by the other member of his crew. This LEADER
has the clearest mentality that everything is related to everything
else.

# 60 – Thinks “big picture” and wholly to operate comprehensively


and multifacetedlly to state the very minimum.

# 61– However the primordial leader and the emboldened sprits


de corps across the board within his / her crew, he / she
unambiguously honors, respects and institutional rewards the
highest hierarchies, as well as those under his / her watch.

# 62 – He / she, as well as the entirety of the crew, thinks in


already practiced futures to in-source his / her individual and
collective mind(s) with zillion actionable options from the
originated one to out-strategize adversaries and ascertain
indisputable prevailing.

# 63 – He views as scientists reportedly tell us as the horses see


in real life, so that this holistic view and systemic and systematic
engagement in the theater of operations – tremendously propelled
by fore-sighting -- offers this Leader a lucid second nature in
dealing with globality and the elements of the system (embedded
in his blurring and flowingly blurring context) from the amplest
perspective of that prepared mind that not only is capturing the
uniqueness, the subtleties, and interrelationships of the challenge
to be resolve (on the doubles) as they are posed by the theater of
operations.

# 64 – When an action is to happen is not that bad and when the


minds, spirits, and souls of these leaders and co-leaders are not
counting with the greatest and most updated competitive
intelligence (and, sometimes, rampant intelligentsia), this Leader,
as per the medical maxim, engages into “first do no harm,”
thereby awaiting for the soonest and best timing to besiege and
conquer (WITH HONOR) the theater of operations.

# 65 – This Leader does not have only a passion, but he / she has
an extremely well passion that does not allow said person to lose
composure, aim, an strategic blueprint to shock and awe, via
overbearing number of angles, the adversary to be turned in
defeat by the collective unleashing of energy unload on to them
for the ultimate domination.
# 66 – Establishes a great human-to-‘computational power’
intelligence close-loop feedback via artificial intelligence to access
to and swiftly operate on the numerical and narrative data
received between the terrain sustained gains and the ultimate
goal to be captured within maximum control.

# 67 – Secures so many Pyrrhic and ‘ignored flank’ victories to


improve his / her abilities – and that of the crew – while bringing
about a dramatic but yet subtle and decisive breakthrough, very
much to his / her advantage and that of humankind.

# 68 – When the leader approaches any important mission, he /


she enters the process with the goal of looking for areas in which
strategic value can be created.

# 69 – Helps disputant crew members to reach harmony


thoroughly, not dwelling on the past but improving the perspective
of his persona and that of the crew toward the immediate future.

# 70 – This leader fails so recurrently that, that in the final


analysis, he / she affluently prevails. This worships his mistakes
as sacrosanct learning devices that he, in the treasured futures,
wins easily, independently of precarious terrains.

# 71 – Is forever building up – via transparency, accountability


and responsibility – trust among his / her fellow co-leaders. In
those critical missions, say of law enforcement, first responders
and the military, the maximum on-site responsible one exercises
a climate of distention and courtesy among his crew members.
There is here a difficult balancing act – that is never a daring
issue for the wise leader – is to offer support and friendliness
without disrupting the limits between the professional life and
personal one. Intimacy exchanges between the crew members of
the same team will gravely compromise the integrity of the
incumbents and their mission-critical responsibilities. The
members incurred in such situation must be immediately
relocated.

# 72 – Possesses clarity of thought and great depth and scope in


contrarian’s judgment, as he / she avidly ponders above and
beyond wholly.

# 73 – He / she grows mentally and intellectually in the midst of


complexity, chaos, and anarchy, transforming the cited three
factor in the tools to secure his triumph early.

# 74 – This Leader becomes responsible for assuming costs,


losses, liabilities, behaviors, as well as outcomes.

# 75 – This Leader does not retaliate; he / she just prevails.

# 76 – This Leader’s mentality is ruled by his / her own should-self


facet and never by his / her want / self one. In doing so, this
Leader maximizes the long-term benefits.

# 77 – This Leader is always encouraging and supporting


legitimate justice seeking.

# 78 – This Leader is much more of an asset than a hindrance in


interacting with the members of his / her crew.

# 79 – This Leader is both robust, resilient and carries on


non-linearly.

# 80 – This Leader is an over-communicator.

# 81 – This Leader is the hidden persuader to the greatest causes


that transforms the World from a tiny bit of an annoying place into
a better place, though interesting and educational in extremis.
# 82 – This Leader is more flexible, competent, industrious,
diligent, trustworthy, rational, honest, fair, cooperative, and
compassionate than his / her opponents.

# 83 – In succeeding, this Leader does not denigrate his / her


opponents. He / she treat adversaries with highest decorum.

# 84 – This Leader radiant reasoning is analogically instituted.

# 85 – This Leader uses the insider’s lens, but much more


emphatically utilizes the outsider’s lens.

# 86 – This Leader makes more with less.

# 87 – This Leader always operates better, when in the


“battlefield,” the theater of operations has many sub-systems in
and beyond ‘fringe’ status.

# 88 – This Leader is engaged in “real time” calibrating mode,


quantitatively and qualitatively, the information, data, and
arguments that you hear from them.

# 89 – This Leader cross-checks everything in its entirety.

# 90 – This Leader chooses and updates and upgrades his / her


own appropriate measure of success.

# 91 – In his / her pondering and discerning processes, this


Leader emphasizes – to the self and crew member fellows – the
need to understand the other side’s perspective in advance and in
continuum.

# 92 – This Leader discovers the hidden interests, priorities,


constraints, patterns, and subtle ploys of the other side, allowing
him / her to create strategic value more efficaciously.

# 93 – This Leader finds ways to overcome not only the


reasonable objections of others, but also their close-mindedness.

# 94 – This Leader reserves consistency between their attempts


and actions.

# 95 – This Leader, in order to protect the self, must make a


judicious and salient effort to anticipate and mitigate powerful
effects from strategies enforced.

# 96 – In each situation, this Leader provides his / her crew with


strategies for seeing and uncovering more clearly the information
that falls in your blind spot.

# 97 – This Leader thinks through the decision rulings,


constraints, strategies, resource pressures, and politics of the
other side.

# 98 – For this Leader, the other side information advantage is


never in his / her blind spot.

# 99 – This Leader’s First Nature is to wholly trustworthy and


never wholly trusting.

# 100 – This Leader is afraid neither the future nor the past but
make a mark on the moment.

# 101 – This Leader resists the obvious to embrace the newness


of ignored flanks.

# 102 – This Leader does not look through the mirror but every
window.
# 103 – This Leader build bridges between failures and
sustainable successes.

# 104 – This Leader’s greatest action is to pause to engender


cross-pollinated perspectives from pondering, discernment, and
actionable reflections.

# 105 – The only stasis this Leader knows is the order tendered
by chaotic measures that institute and restore harmony.

# 106 – This Leader is the host of his / her co-leaders


(Hostmanship).

# 107 – This Leader generates a lot of ideas and plans; looks for
good ideas, not just his / her own but those of the crew.

# 108 – This Leader never abandons the power of saying what he

the first moments are apt to be the most lively and decisive.

# 111 – While co-leaders are occupied with training, this Leader


must set the tone for all of his / her consistency.

# 112 – This Leader takes care of his / her co-leader and look
after him / her in detail.

# 113 – This Leader listens to his / her co-leaders’ complaints,


inspects their tools and equipment, and satisfies himself / herself
that co-leaders do not lack anything.
# 114 – This Leader demonstrates that takes his / her
responsibilities seriously and devotes himself / herself completely
to the co-leader, which in turn inspires the co-leader’s confidence.

# 115 – Before committing to any serious enterprise, this Leader


and respective co-leaders perform frequent “drill evolutions”
exercises.

MANAGEMENT / PERSONAL TENETS

THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO EMPOWER the self with savvy


power of own discernment. By way of example, let’s touch two
practical items. There is, from this corner or angle, a huge
thinking empowerment when the incumbent (i) is able to do, and
(ii) is as well aware of becoming self-refrained to being able to do.
People from the East part of the world declare, “sometimes less is
more.” This is really true, chiefly for those people that bring
science and other forms of knowledge way beyond and above the
‘farfetched’ extremes. It takes a rogue and tough– though with
extreme refinement– mind to be extremely insightful to know
when to cut-back on the intensity of his / her specific line of
practice at the moment. In most case, the need for MUCH MORE
is, by large, the optimal rule lacking to our disgrace. Of course,
because this manager’s disgrace– when gains critical mass into
being a pseudo-universal practice–is adding up an immensurable
burden to global civilization. That is why so many noted
statesmen, such as former Prime Minister Tony Blair, make a
huge emphasis on education. I believe, when dealing with this
crucial issue, he pronounces the term “education” thrice every
time. By his own earned right, Warren Buffet is also aligned with
Blair, supporting broadly and boldly the problem to enhancing
education at all levels. Bill Gates, too, has addressed the U.S.
Senate on the relevance and urgency of the troubling topic.

MANAGEMENT / PERSONAL TENET # 26 - (metaphoric ideas
for updated management practitioners)

Don’t worry about being surprised by the unexpected. Just carry


on expecting the unexpected, regardless of the implicated chaos.
Create instability as the essence of your strategy. Keep in mind: a
more volatile external environment requires a less stable internal
world. Seek out substitutes and opportunities to increase
productivity by measuring the mass used in your business today,
and getting it to decrease every year. Respond with more rapid
and varied adaptation.

MANAGEMENT / PERSONAL TENET # 27 - (METAPHORIC
IDEAS FOR UPDATED MANAGEMENT PRACTITIONERS)

Conduct thousands of tests of products, prices, features,


packages, marketing channels, credit policies, account
management, customer service, collections, and retention. Make
informed but subjective judgments. Push ahead before the
competition could catch up. Seize the opportunity—even when
not really prepared.

ANDRES AGOSTINI LEADERSHIP / BUSINESS /


MANAGEMENT / PERSONAL TENET # 28 - (METAPHORIC
IDEAS FOR UPDATED MANAGEMENT PRACTITIONERS)

Empower talented people. Accelerate talented people very


quickly, because that’s where you get the value. Place bets on
future values. Cross boundaries, change jobs, and form new
teams to meet evolving needs. Align with the business. Use good
economic judgment. Be flexible. And be empathetic to your
colleagues.

ANDRES AGOSTINI LEADERSHIP / BUSINESS /


MANAGEMENT / PERSONAL TENET # 29 - (METAPHORIC
IDEAS FOR UPDATED MANAGEMENT PRACTITIONERS)

It’s okay to break the rules in the right way. Going around doing
randomly disconnected things. Develop all the peripheral
relationships you need to be effective organizationally. Manage
the connections rather than the structure. Also know how to
hybridize.

ANDRES AGOSTINI LEADERSHIP / BUSINESS /


MANAGEMENT / PERSONAL TENET # 30 - (METAPHORIC
IDEAS FOR UPDATED MANAGEMENT PRACTITIONERS)
Reach out to others with corresponding roles across the

DIVERSE elements together. Without these kinds of connections,
DIVERSITY has little inherent value.

ANDRES AGOSTINI LEADERSHIP / BUSINESS /


MANAGEMENT / PERSONAL TENET # 31 - (METAPHORIC

Empower others and yourself by the whole chaotic percolation of


ideas at the bottom of the organization. Bear in mind: Empirical

very bright people with initial proof of concept, then plug them into

ANDRES AGOSTINI LEADERSHIP / BUSINESS /


MANAGEMENT / PERSONAL TENET # 32 - (METAPHORIC

Maintain common interfaces and cross-functional capabilities that

MANAGEMENT / PERSONAL TENET # 33 - (METAPHORIC

Employ diversification to spread their risks. Be willing to take the


risk of shaping the future according to your own design. Nothing

Beware of this: Discontinuities, irregularities, and volatilities seem
to be proliferating. Remember: Without risks, life poses no
mystery.

MANAGEMENT / PERSONAL TENET # 34 - (METAPHORIC

Seed, select, amplify, and destabilize the situation are the two

Dream up programs that might be of value to customers, and then

ONE-PAGE COMMUNICATION VERSUS RELEVANTLY


LENGTHY ONES: BRIEF BUSINESS WRITTEN
COMMUNICATIONS OR OTHERWISE? WHO HAS BEEN
WRONG FOR A LONG, LONG TIME? By © Copyright 2009
Andres Agostini – All Rights Reserved. At
www.AgostiniWorks.blogspot.com, www.CyberCV.blogspot.com

For many years the greatest leaders, management authors,


researchers, experts, writers, and gurus have been making a
prominent blunder in their public dissertations and practices. This
absolute blunder has been echoed, by deeds, in an amplified
mode by some of the most outspoken and high-ranking managers
from global organizations.

Said people, as cited in the previous paragraph and as


organizational policy, insisted that people will read only one-page:
memos, letters, reports, and so forth. Some top and mid-level
managers would threaten to fire people making longer than the
one-page documents regardless of complexity and instrumentality
of the matter addressed.

These managers, authors, writers, leaders, experts, and gurus


would unequivocally state (endlessly) that if the matter addressed
(independently of how crucial it is) can be commented in one
page or less, the author of the document is not fit for employment.
And, as a result, the document originator must have his / her
tenure downgraded or, better yet, let go.

I have always known that this course of action is infinitely flawed.


As I was re-reading some of my leadership literature, I found an
especially enlightening abstract by Napoleon I (1769 - 1821).

In an actual letter from Napoleon to General Bertrand – dated


March, 04 1807 and responding to a previous letter to Napoleon
by said General – the prominent Corsican Emperor, as a result,
stated exactly the following: “Your letter tells me nothing E. I
EXPECTED SEVERAL PAGES AND I GET ONLY TWO LINES.
REDEEM ALL THAT BY WRITING ME IN GREAT DETAIL.”

It is so revealing the quotation that the reader can make his / her
own conclusion readily. In my case, I made extremely brief notes
when they are called for and viable. But when things are very
complex, I will examine thoroughly every single detail (and
granularity of detail) and transfer my conclusions to whatever
length of document as long as the document remains relevant to
the designated undertaking.

Leaders, business managers, enterprise owners should never


enter into the professional and organizational roles if they dislike
and cannot read and study large amount and number of
documents and chiefly lavishly crucial and lengthy documents.

Under great complexities, particularly when besieged by a


working environment in which changed changes are always
shifting as it is in the Twenty-First Century, I can highly increase
success with 30% oral communication and 70% written
communication. This approach has proven extremely successful
in my case.

In extremely serious and demanding organizations, oral


communication and oral agreements are legally and operationally
useless and unbinding. To enforce (constructively) the
communication and agreements, it is beyond indispensable to
have it in writing. Therefore, the 30% of oral communication –
concerning business – must be reflected in the 70% written
communication in its entirety.

A VITAL QUOTATION THAT IS UNIVERSALLY


MISUNDERSTOOD, FOR YOUR WISER CONSIDERATION.
ENSUING: Napoleon Bonaparte (1769 - 1821): “No longer it is a
question simply of education E NOW IT BECOMES A MATTER
OF ACQUIRING SCIENCE.”

AN IDEA WORTH SPREADING! We can all attempt the best to


tackle so many global crises. Those concern me. However, there
is one global crisis that TAKES PRECEDENT AND TUTELAGE
FROM ANY OTHER CRISIS. I’M REFERRING TO THE
EXTREMELY GRAVE AND UNIVERSAL, EXISTENTIAL RISK
CONCERNING SYSTEMATIC VIOLATIONS AGAINST
MORALITY, PRINCIPLES, VALUES, AND ETHICS. I’ve given
this life-to-death humankind challenge a womb-to-tomb reflection
for a number of years. In the mean time, disruption potential and
its corresponding vulnerabilities are staggeringly compounding
into an immeasurable defiance to Earth in its totality. With ethics +
serious rule of law + true justice +zero calamities = some changes
as we grasp the convergence of technologies with the
omniscience perspective. In fact, with a “tsunami” of knowledge
and skills we might have a change of prosperity. We must all
remember that all “PROBLEMS” are because of ignorance,
especially that ignorance deployed by those supposed to have
empowered minds. www.Twitter.com/SciCzar

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


technology, (ii) unconventional thinking in excelsis, (iii) morality
and ethics, (iv) civics, justice, and rigorous law ruling, as well as
compassion, humanity and ...

PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THAT I'M GOOD AT! People don’t know
that I’m extremely good at-with the Omniscience
perspective-seeing existential problems/fixes way in advance and
decisively, and Solving extremely complex difficulties that require
maximum precision...

MY TED STORY! I’ve had and still have the pleasure to be hired
by clients and operate with partners before the most daring and
pressing situations. Fortunately, educated in the USA, Canada,
and Great Britain in academia and profession I have a unique way
of seeing problems and their solving. Luckily and very much to my
advantage, I have worked in many tenures and for a whole array
of disparate industries. That’s why I feel quite comfortable in
dealing with a gamut of business issues, including some
undertaken by some supranational organizations as the World
Bank and special agencies like NASA. I am always ready to take
on an even more stringent challenge every time. I don’t only do a
great deal of researching, experimenting/testing. But I, too, do
huge studying and studying falsifying to walk several steps
forward towards the optimum omniscience repository applicable
by me and with others. I can go from huge structuralism to highly
amorphous and a combination of those two without losing
consistency, congruency, and efficacy.

(HARVARD UNIVERSITY)

ANDRES AGOSTINI’S COMMENTS CONCERNING GILL


CORKINDALE’S (HARVARD UNIVERSITY’S HARVARD
BUSINESS REVIEW) ARTICLE TITLED: “DOES YOUR
COMPANY’S REPUTATION REALLY MATTER?”

ON DECEMBER 25, 2009 AT 10:34 P.M.

Reputation is absolutely indispensable. The more and more


people (customers) demand perfect services and products, the
more and more backed-by-the-executions deeds are necessary to
make reputation not only viable but indispensable to sustaining
growth.

For a firm, the systematic lack of reputation will mean bankruptcy


in due time, generally speaking. So many “risk management”
pontificator doggedly forget to analyze this and other risks
optimally – such as that of reputation – that no one can “transfer
(never ever) to a sub-optimal business model such as that of the
insurance and reinsurance companies.

The transformative and integrative approach of instituting risk


management (*) with the omniscience perspective (**) must be a
dynamical womb-to-tomb “ever-flowing and ever-amplified”
scrutinizing video-ed vista.

ANDRES AGOSTINI

ON DECEMBER 25, 2009 AT 11:38 P.M.

Is this a “customer service” problem – because we are afraid to


lose a customer – or is this more of a “disruption potential” to
secure or imperil the corporation’s existence? Both are true but
the last is truest. A constant succession of blunders, in any firm or
organization, in dealing with customer services appropriately is a
prevalent problem of relevance but yet of lesser relevance in the
financial existence or not of such organization.

These serious mistakes in looking after (or outright neglecting) the


client, sometimes “lethal ones, are much deeper signs of many
processes going ill in long-ignored and also evident flanks. In part,
but not to an invaluable degree, customer service problems are a
function of an increasing taking place of “disruption potential” on
the corporation’s existence.

You can have the greatest engineers, scientists, academicians,


technologists, CFOs, CIOs, and so forth. But if the client is not
absolutely DELIGHTED as per his / her own definition of
“delighted,” not your marketing/sales/branding/success-capturing
strategy but your entire CORPORATE STRATEGY is beyond
flawed. Thus, I strongly recommend that people of strategic
planning savants operate as a major sub-chapter of the grandest
not-insurance-related risk management program and its
sophisticated strategy under the CRMO (Chief Risk Manager
Officer) who, as well, directly reports to both the CEO and
Chairman while said both have palpable express and
unconditional backing from the board of directors.

JANUARY 14, 2010 AT 3:08 AM

One of the greatest risks – increasingly so in this wildest


eons-streaming CHANGED CHANGES era – is the human factor,
chiefly the wrongly over-empowered one. It is acknowledged that
human beings are “flawed.” Flawed human beings are a function
of flawed genetics of said human beings. If scientific and
unimpeachable scientific truth is observed, then is significant the
ensuing paradigm: “anything (anyone) operating ‘now’ is already
obsolete and if not qualitatively upgraded (including the humans),
it will grow more and more obsolete.”

Not too long ago a humanely humanitarian, Prof. Malcolm


Knowles, Ph.D., heavily involved in education addressed at length
about human obsolescence. While Dr. Bertrand Russell indicated:
“I know of more people who’d rather die THAN THINK.” Before
that Sir Francis Bacon stated, “HE THAT WILL NOT APPLY NEW
REMEDIES MUST EXPECT NEW EVILS, FOR TIME IS THE
GREATEST INNOVATOR.”

Flawed genetics of said human beings are a function of flawed


composition and disposition of the atomic and sub-atomic
arrangement of such genetics. And there we can go on towards a
much better root cause (seeking the most minuscule granularity of
the so-called “details”). In the final analysis, way too many people
– in business or Main Street – have major problems of ethics and
morality, structurally and in excelsis.

Can you imagine scientists with “flawed” morality making


sophisticated and large-scale decisions in order to counter
(institute countermeasures as per the applied omniscience and
through the systems perspective) the immense existential perils
posed by climate and geology globally, that is: on the face of
Earth? If some of the most advanced nations failed in the
Copenhagen summit about the global climate crisis, How can
anyone – in his / her right mind – expect that simpler undertakings
(such as an airline’s right customer service “strategy”) will work
optimally? Really?

In many blogs and postings I have strongly suggested a solution


to prominent representatives of the new high-tech and
omniscience “deities” in the “Warped Passages” multiversed
block. Ergo, Why don't we pull out a genes-re-engineered vaccine
to fix the "gangster" gene cluster(s)?

It is NOT about optimum managers with “soft skills” making their


customers feel at home. This is an immeasurable understatement
if the insatiable and indefatigable “quid pro quo” exchange is left
alone without first and foremost eradicating the actual root
problem (incessantly, systemically, and systematically violation of
principles, values, ethics, and morality in crescendo for Life).
Even when scientists speak about phenotype, it is even beyond
scientific proof that when genotypes are better the can sustain the
“demands” of the environment, including those demands that
damage a child’s life into an “unhealthy” adulthood.

If the global crisis of customer services (and for that matter of


best-practiced leadership, management, and business), or the
global crisis of geopolitics, climate, geology is acknowledged and
cope with IN ACTUALITY, then it would have to be understood
that all of that crises are a function of the GLOBAL CRISIS OF
CORRUPTION, the mother of all crises.

The GLOBAL CRISIS OF CORRUPTION hugely propelled


ubiquitously by the level of population and the ill-and-evil
empowerment but pervasive and yet inexpensive technology of
each one of the 750 billion souls on Earth.
There is not a facet in personal, professional, and organization life
that has not been touched by the extreme empowerment of
corruption. ANY MANAGEMENT PRESCRIPTION – THOUGH
EXTREMELY INTERESTING – WILL RESULT IN AN ABSURD
OVER-REDUCTIONISM.

Anything related to academia and relevant to non-fiction


publishing, especially in times of open-ended online
communications, must be a solemn act of profound meditation
and long pondering as per my view, respectful of that of others.
Subsequently, I like to add these luminary quotations for the
thoughtful reader’s best consideration:

Sir Winston Churchill: "THE EMPIRES OF THE FUTURE ARE


THE EMPIRES OF THE MIND."

Thomas Jefferson: "I PREFER THE STORIES OF THE FUTURE


THAN HISTORY (PAST)."

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche: "IS OUR FUTURE THAT LAYS


DOWN THE LAW OF OUR TODAY?"

CONCLUSION

Art is a way of seeking truth. Yes, science is a mode of seeking


truth. Technology is important yet an ingredient in the
prescription’s mix. But until AI (Artificial Intelligence) makes its
greatest landing — and while converging the best of arts, science,
and technology —, the absolutely unimpeachable sine qua non is
the extreme harvesting and nurturing of the mind for Life (sic).

CREDO: I am a harmonizer and a peace-maker. I am also an


extreme believer of DEMOCRACY, DUE PROCESS, LAW
ENFORCEMENT, AND TRUE JUSTICE, which lately seems to
be scoring low worldwide, except for Scandinavia. I believe every
person is important and can be productive to his / her community.
I believe it indispensable to treat people with integrity and dignity
and clarity and transparency, responsibility and civility, as well as
with prudence and tact. In this context, prudence and tact are not
used - never ever - to disrupt trust, confidence, and harmony. All
these three features are to be earned with facts and not with
chatty mumble. I don't think, at all, that the human race must
"race" back to the caveman ages, but improve its insidious and
impious shortcomings through own discipline and individual and
collective peace. That one that manipulates is subject number
one to mediocrity. Well-formed minds need no cheating at all! I
don't need to compete or challenge anyone but my own self to
ongoingly fix my own shortcomings.

ANDY IS UNCONDITIONALLY CONSTRUCTIVE, chiefly in his


deeds (which are projections of his words and thoughts and the
interrelationship between the two). To Andy, his thoughts, words,
and deeds are all consistent, cohesive, and congruent actions. It
is irrelevant to him if the lab-to-fab - under his mental
proprietorship - is under his boundaryless mind or staged within a
mundane organizational initiative. Andy turns words into tangible
and intangible manufactured assets, goods, solutions, and
mediums to turn nearly-impossible challenges into highly feasible
(solved) ones. Words, the precursors of theory, make us reflect
on Einstein's sentence: "I do not know of anything more practical
than theory."

ANDY'S GOAL IS SIMPLE. Please see what I mean here at

MY REPUTATION HERE:
http://www.yasni.com/index.php?action=webprofile&update_actio
n=&logout=1&name=Andres+Agostini&lgn=1&number=216333

MY GRATITUDE GOES TO! My beloved and greatest parents,


Dr. Agostini and Mrs. Agostini. Their education, ideas, and
encouragement influence everything I do. I have an infinite
appreciation for my teachers and professors, chiefly those from
the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada. Some prominent
people from Japan, Scandinavia, Germany, Austria, and France
have played a major impact on me too.

WHY ON THE WEB? I like to network and make this fact as


public as possible. If colleagues and friends come true as a
consequence of such networking, my primordial motivation is to
interact through the digital infrastructure to learn, learn, and learn.
Learning is very stimulating to me. I create fruitful, well-meant
ideas to help start a new relationship (especially with those that in
the search of those who are perpetually committed to seeking) or
improve an old one under much greater significance. These are
ideas are primarily brought into my own theater of operations to
reality-check my own self and to learn in advance of my mistakes
to be, much more before they crystallize in the physical world. I
also do so to learn more and more with myself while my intellect
is perpetually trying to impeach my own mind. If any idea is
"leaked" onto others, it is only due to an anomaly by
Computronium. My friends, Computronium - as per its
cosmological views - will ascertain that anima mundi becomes
well behaved. In the process, humans will not become
trans-humans but transbiologicals. QUESTION: Which one is the
path? Is it from protoplasm to protomammals to transbiologicals?

THE WISE BRITISH DIPLOMAT AND HIS LUCID COUNCIL


(REAL LIFE ACCOUNT): “You go somewhere and you try and
understand that country [overseas] because one day you may
need to negotiate with that country.” Throughout my life, I have
met a great deal of British people. It is innate to them to be
extremely respectful, prudent and tactful, as well as supportive,
especially in dealing with mission-critical assignments.

OMNISCIENCE DEFINED (3.09 BY ANDY AT

THEODORE ROOSEVELT: "All the resources we need are in the

WHAT MATTERS THE UTMOST TO ANDY! I have the firmest


interest and belief in legitimacy, lawfulness, due process, law
enforcement, true justice, democracy (as it is understood in the
advanced nations), PEACE-PEACE-PEACE, HARMONY,
CLARITY, AN OCEAN OF CLARITY. I insist I respect and value
people from every nation, every creed, every faith, every
cosmosvision, every gender, so on. To me, they are equally
valuable and important.

JAMES D. WATSON, PH.D. AND NOBEL LAUREATE: "Science


gives society a great sense of decisive freedom."

WHAT ANDY AND DR. STEPHEN HAWKING EXACTLY


SHARED IN THEORY AND PRACTICE (SIC) = "My goal is
simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as
it is and why it exists at all."

WHAT ANDY AND LEONARDO DA VINCI EXACTLY SHARED


IN THEORY AND PRACTICE (SIC) = "The knowledge of
everything is possible."

ANDY LIVES BY ULTIMATE TRUTH IN THOUGHTS AND


DEEDS! The Panchatantra: “Knowledge is the true organ of sight,

ANDY'S METHODOLOGY IS SACROSANCT! As I mentioned


abundantly, I conceived, developed, and implement my own,
proprietary methodology known as "Transformative And
Integrative Risk Management" (
http://www.slideshare.net/andresagostini/definition-of-tranformativ
e-and-integrative-risk-management-authored-by-copyright-2005-a
ndres-agostini-andy-arlington-virginia-usa ). This methodology is
not "open content" at all or the like. I have worked on it for over
two decades, making personal cash investments (and others) in a
sustainable way. If one would like to have access to it, the
absolutely only way is by hiring me as a Consultant and Adviser.
This is my greatest "trade secret." This does not mean I cannot
offer a serious party some general ideas on the most advanced
ways to manage risks, especially those that have caught
civilization - for over the 12 years - off-guard. Again, please don't
ask me to undermine my greatest asset.

NO OBLIGATIONS! My ideas neither count on others to follow,


nor do they have me follow theirs.

ANDY GIVES OUT ECADEMY TESTIMONIALS? WHY? HOW? I


do not give Ecademy testimonial easily. However, some people
do send me so heart-felt notes which I corroborate with their
information posted both in Ecademy and own website. I can read
people's in-between-lines narrative. 90% of the times when the
latter happens I gladly offer a testimonial. Some people don't
send me messages, but do post me a testimonial. I read them
carefully, as well as their profiles. I believe in the civility of
reciprocating the gesture 95% of the times.

RIGOR AND BEYOND: In my proven experience and expertise, I


have abundant evidence that profession and business must be
instituted with a great degree of SOLEMNITY towards and within
yourself. This does not entail at all that you cannot be a
gentleman, cavalier, fun, humorous, helpful, and pedagogue.
Rigor without solemnity is hollow, nothingness. That especially
when dealing with the increasingly daring problem solving
whereas and while said "problem solving" becomes geometrically
more complex by the hour. Applying SOLEMNITY, as explained,
will help you bring true success in practice and reality.

ANDY AND KEITH DEVLIN UNDER A GREAT AND AT-UNISON

STRUCTURES AND PATTERNS OF MATHEMATICS reflect the
structure of, AND RESONATE IN, THE HUMAN MIND every bit
as much as do the structures and patterns of music, human
beings have developed no mathematical equivalent of a pair of
ears. MATHEMATICS CAN BE SEEN ONLY WITH THE EYES
OF THE MIND." THE REAL DEAL, ISN'T IT?

THE SIXTH SENSE HAS NO GENDER AT ALL (S.I.C.)! It is


untrue that this sensing capability belongs to a gender. It only
belongs to all genders. There is a great intertwined relationship
between the brain's right hemisphere and the left hemisphere and
the output sequestered at unison by such interactions. My
neuroscientist friends will facilitate the hard-core evidence. I can
also reassure that there are other sensing capabilities by the brain
that are extremely subtle and require much, systematic work.
Certainly, there are seventh, eight, and ninth senses, only as long
as you wish to develop your mind through a number of years. I
have over two decades working relentlessly and applying these
findings in my everyday life in crescendo! Tis is contained in my
own proprietary system—which I do not wish to patent—,
"Transformative And Integrative Risk Management."

ON JANUARY 10, 2010 AT 11:12 P.M. EST, I PUT TOGETHER


SOME OWN REFLECTIONS TO OFFER MY VIEW, REMAINING
RESPECTFUL OF THAT OF OTHERS, HERE: “To be a
conscientiously human being into deep, subtle, and proactive
awareness, you need to entertain some form of profound
spirituality understanding that the greatest wealth is that of the
spirit and the enlightened mind (those splendid intangibles). Once
you do your own most conscientious awareness for Life, you can
increasingly do your morality and ethics for said Life. Once you do
your morality and ethics, you can do your actionable knowledge.
In order to capture ever-updatable and perpetually amplifiable as
well as actionable knowledge, you and only you must challenge
yourself intellectually as if you were competing with your strongest
opponent. If you really wish to immerse your mind into the
perspective of the applied all-knowingness, you most make the
greatest effort – in a sustained mode – towards actionable and
applicable omniscience (*), chiefly with the perspective attached
by the most sophisticated exact sciences. Once you do your
intellect, knowledge, and science, you can lucidly conceive your
lucrative futures for the so-called and lamentable ‘heres and
nows.’ When your futures are done, conceived, visualized, and
developed way in advance, foresight, and far-sight by you, you
can then do your upside and downside risks. When risks are done
solely by you optimally, you can do your benefits. Your risks get
much better done when you consider lavish provisions for
contingency planning under the rigor and vigor of mentioned
omniscience. Now you know – complete the entirety of this
process throughput systematically, systemically, holistically, and
without ignoring a single step mentioned above – how to proceed
in capturing success in personal, professional, organizational, and
societal life. Can you now commence your own development, by
and for yourself, of self-improvement and/or self-betterment? In
the ultimate analysis, the most important is what revolts within
each one’s innermost.” © Copyright 2010 Andres Agostini – All

dear teacher, but fools will learn at no others."

FROM INCONSEQUENTIAL AND SUBOPTIMAL LEADERSHIP


INTO BREAKTHROUGH LEADERSHIP! AT
http://www.slideshare.net/andresagostini/1-2287118

THE PRE-KINDERGARTEN TERMS "WOW, COOL" AND ITS


IMPIOUS TRANSGRESSION TO THE EVER-GRANDIOSER
ENGLISH LANGUAGE! The Oxford Dictionary defines the term
"idiom," "Epeculiarity of phraseology approved by usage though
having meaning not deducible from those of the separate words."
Why highly educated adults use the childish word "WOW" so
often as if inadvertently they were embarked on a crusade to
dismantle the most sophisticated and enriched language there is,
namely the SHAKESPEAREAN LINGUA FRANCA! Mr.
Shakespeare ‒ the ultimate literature intelligence along with Sir.
Francis Bacon ‒ developed 10,000 new terms (very much to our
luck and gusto”. NASA, via the Apollo Project, conceived 20,000
new terms. Can't we say splendid, magnificent, or extraordinary
instead of that tiny winy (petty) expression: WOW? The
SHAKESPEAREAN LINGUA FRANCA is rendering the Planet
and beyond a great service. Incendiary brightness by Bonaparte
and Voltaire strongly and reiteratively spoke of the indispensability
of speaking English well. Voltaire went one step further and
considers it a disgrace not to have been born British. Napoleon,
besides exerting the greatest pressure for the commanding of
English, insisted that any post-secondary high school student
must pursuit of SCIENCE. Leonardo da Vinci, for the grave
animosity of Michelangelo, insisted that no one can perform
ARTS without first being a SCIENTIST. In my case, I have a great
respect for many languages, including German, Japanese, and
Russian. The first two are of immense significance to me right
now and until the last exhale. The number one British invention
was English. The second was Australasia, and North America to
state it briefly.

DIPLOMACY AS RENDERED INTO UNIVERSAL DEEDS BY
ANDY DIPLOMACY is treating people with respect, tact,
prudence to address issues with relaxed passion and within
productivity and civility, as well with kindness. DIPLOMACY is
also about clarity, transparency, responsibility, accountability,
honesty, and compliance. (a) Manipulation and (b) So-called
'Social Engineering' are DIRECTLY OPPOSITE to DIPLOMACY
in the mode as said diplomacy is meant and practiced—to the
best of his abilities— by Andy. To be and act with firmness but
NICELY. Good humor (educated and savvy) is welcome. Humor
is indispensable for prepared minds!

TO BE OR NOT TO BE SIMPLE, WHAT IS THE QUESTION? =


In profession and formalities concerning official actions, I am
much disciplined. In friendship or greater relationships, I need to
be light and relaxed, amicable, helpful but into meaningful depth.
Maybe one word cannot be spoken but a nice staring and even an
exhale can be highly eloquent. Sometimes a line from a friend can
make you feel better. It was simple indeed but with an utterly
profound message. WHY PROFOUND? Because in everything I
get involved "light" or "heavy," I grant it great importance. I don't
do personal or professional lives to communicate a false
impression. When I engage professionally, one had better believe
I do. But when I engage into relaxing, having fun, listening mode,
and humor, I love to do spontaneously. I have a great and clear
demarcation between my professional and personal lives. Each
one is mutually reinforcing but never entangled. In both
dimensions I offer unprecedented CLARITY, CLARITY, AND
INFINITE CLARITY. AND I ALSO REQUEST IT FROM ANY
OTHER PARTIES, IN PROFESSION OR PERSONAL LIFE WITH
A SIMILAR DEGREE OF INTENSITY. Therefore, I am defined
and like to live definably and decisively!

APOSTLEHOOD! Andy: "I was reflecting on my beloved father's


death (1993), there flashed upon my mind, unforeseen and
unsought, the phrase, 'Create and apply advanced and
sophisticated knowledge contents for Life. That's your
apostlehood'." One had better believe that I am into profoundest
luminous enlightenment.

PROFANITIES NEED NO PRONOUNCING OR THINKING


NEITHER ACTING OUT, MY THOUGHTFUL READERS If an
individual is cultured and learned and the emotions are well
managed. The Oxford Dictionary and The American Heritage
Dictionary have too many splendid "entries" to "over-kill" yourself
by speaking profanities and becoming knighted by the Kingdom
Of The Mediocre Ones.

NOT MARKETING & SALES &/OR “BRANDING” EFFORT BY


ANDY AT ALL. WHY? = I am not into marketing or sales. I just
over-communicate and through it I over-accomplish the
designated business target (broadly stated). My communication is
responsible and technically rigorous.

WHY NAPOLEON? I mention Napoleon Bonaparte frequently. He


finally got defeated by the British. But I don't admire Napoleon
because of his war waging either winning or losing. What I like
about Napoleon is the following: (a) The vital importance he gave
to education, (b) The extreme stewardship of the most advanced
practices pertaining - as conceived by today's exact science
practitioners - of the Systems Methodology, (c) His grave interest
for learning science, (d) His marked ambition in trying to
understand and ultimately cope with all kinds of "phenomena" as
per the forces of the Universe (strictly speaking from the scientific
stance), and (e) His emphatic gusto for learning and speaking the
English language, a recurrent suggestion he made to the people
he cared for. Many authors and academicians - speaking of the
great captain waging wars - insist that, at least until 1999, the
United States military establishment makes thorough doctrines
out of Napoleon's "best practices." Corsica, his birthplace, is an
isle of extremely proud, rationalistic, and hard-working people.
Although Italy and France has fought over Corsica through many
years back, Corsicans feel - and make certain the "outsiders" get
it - n either Italians nor French ones, just Corsicans. My
great-grandfather was Corsican and that explains my paternal
surname. I am no deity or official judge to take Napoleon's military
contributions to a trial. That is not my problem. My problem is,
fundamentally, the immense degree of avidness for learning and
getting prepared by this man, as well as his findings and
dissertations. When he first came to France to study military
science, he did not speak fluid French. Even many of his most
noted friends and colleagues - before his rising as emperor - used
to laugh at him because of his mumble and "foreign" accent and
because of his short height. In London (U.K.) I requested a depth
study on my heraldic (both paternal and maternal ones) to
supplement my own family's findings. Remember the adage, "if
you don't know where you come from, you will never know where
you will go to"? Then I found that Corsicans with the "ini" ending
as in "Agostini" played a major role in the Imperial Latin Era,
chiefly as statesman, court councils, law makers, state
organizers. Very much to my luck and proud satisfaction, I made
friends with a D-DAY Veteran. A very courageous, civil and a man
of faith. We got fascinated in attempting to discuss some
imbalances of the World at that time. I gave him a World Atlas as
Christmas present as he gave me a book on Napoleon for my
birthday because of our concurrent admiration of this historic
figure still making great inroads in many knowledge fields. In
speaking of Napoleon, I do use habitually some vital mentions
concerning his wisdom regarding education and education alone.
Incidentally: “Napoleon is the only man in Europe that knows the
value of time.” — Czartoryski

http://AgostiniPress.blogspot.com/ BY SHAKESPEARE:
“EMyself, — a prince by fortune of my birth, Near to the king in
blood, and near in love Till you did make him misinterpret me,
—Have stoopt my neck under your injuries, And sigh’d my English
breath in foreign clouds, Eating the bitter bread of banishment;
Whilst you have fed upon my signories, Disparkt my parks, and
fell’d my forest-woods, From my own windows torn my household
coat, Razed out my impress, leaving me no sign, Save men’s
opinions and my living blood, To show the world I am a
gentlemanE BY IMMANUEL KANT: “Ethe sum of those laws for
which an external lawgiving is possible is called the doctrine of
rightEIf there has actually been such lawgiving, it is the doctrine
of positive right, and one versed in this, a juristE, is said to be
experienced in the lawEwhen he not only knows external laws
but also knows them externally, that is, in their application to
cases that come up in experience. Suck knowledge can also be
called legal expertiseE,but without both together it remains mere
juridical scienceEThe last title belongs to systematic knowledge
of the doctrine of natural rightE.,although one versed in this must
supply the immutable principles for any giving of positive lawE”
CERVANTES: “E’But, madam’, said Doña Clara, ‘how can it end,
if his father’s so high-up and so rich that he won’t think me fit to
be his son’s servant-girl, let alone his wife? And getting married
behind my father’s back – I won’t do that for anything in the world.
All I want is for this lad to leave me alone and go back home –
maybe with no seeing him and the great distance we’re going to
travel, this grief I’m feeling would ease off, though I must say this
remedy I’m imagining isn’t going to do me much good. I just don’t
know what the devil’s happened or how this love I feel for him can
have got into me – I’m still so young and he is too, I do believe
we’re both the same age, and I’m not sixteen yet, because my
father says I’ll be sixteen come Michaelmas,’ E”

"Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing wonder and
awe, the more often and the more seriously reflection
concentrates upon them: the starry heaven above me and the
moral law within me E Nothing in the world - indeed nothing even
beyond the world - can possibly be conceived which could be
called good without qualification except a GOOD WILL E I am
never to act otherwise than so that I could also will that my maxim
should become a UNIVERSAL LAW E Finally, there is an
imperative which commands a certain conduct immediately,
without having as its condition any other purpose to be attained
by it. This imperative is CATEGORICAL E This imperative may
be called that of MORALITYE" (Immanuel Kant) — "EI teach
you the superman. Man is something to be surpassed E [Man
found a solitary existence tedious.] There are no limits to God's
compassion with Paradises over their one universally felt want: he
immediately created other animals besides. God's first blunder:
Man didn't find the animals amusing, — he dominated them, and
didn't even want to be an 'animal'E What I understand by
'philosopher': a terrible explosive in the presence of which
everything is in danger E Morality is the herd-instinct in the
individual E He who fights with monsters might take care lest he
thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an
abyss, the abyss gazes also into you E Master-morality and
slave-morality E Wit is the epitaph of an emotion E At the base
of all these aristocratic races the predator is not to be mistaken,
the splendorous blond beast, avidly rampant for plunder and
victory E" (Friedrich Nietzsche) — "If I have see further it is by
standing on the shoulders of giants E Philosophy is such an
impertinently litigious lady that a man has as good be engaged in
law suits as have to do with her E Whence is it that Nature does
nothing in vain: and whence arises all that order and beauty which
we see in the world? E does it not appear from phenomena that
there is a Being incorporeal, living, intelligent, omnipresent, who
in infinite space, as it were in his Sensory, sees the things
themselves intimately, and thoroughly perceives them, and
comprehends them wholly E" (Sir Isaac Newton) — "For all
knowledge and wonder (which is the seed of knowledge) is an
impression of pleasure in itself E So let great authors have their
due, as time, which is the author of authors, be not deprived of his
due, which is further and further to discover truth E If a man will
begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts; but if he will be
content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties E
[Knowledge is] a rich storehouse for the glory of the Creator and
the relief of man's estate E (Sir Francis Bacon) —

CONSPICUOUS QUOTATIONS RESEARCHED BY ANDY!


"EWhen in the course of human events, it becomes necessary
for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have
connected them with another, and to assume among the powers
of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of
nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the
opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes
which impel them to the separation E We hold these truths to be
sacred and undeniable; that all men are created equal and
independent, that from that equal creation they derive rights
inherent and inalienable, among which are the preservation of life,
and liberty, and the pursuit of happiness E All, too, will bear in
mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in
all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that
the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must
protect, and to violate would be oppression E Would the honest
patriot, in the full tide of successful experiment, abandon a
government which has so far kept us free and firm? E Peace,
commerce, and honest friendship with all nations - entangling
alliances with none E Freedom of religion; freedom of the press,
and freedom of person under the protection of habeas corpus,
and trial by juries impartially selected. These principles form the
bright constellation which has gone before us, and guided our
steps through an age of revolution and reformation E A little
rebellion now and then is a good thing E The tree of liberty must
be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and
tyrants. It is its natural manure E Whenever a man has cast a
longing eye on them [official positions], a rottenness begins in his
conductE" (Thomas Jefferson).

THE MAXIMUM UNIVERSAL ASSUMPTION IN ERROR! Many


scholars, scientists, engineers, designers, intellectuals, and
thinkers keep on making an existential blunder via a wrong, an
extremely wrong assumption. They insist, not having prepared
their minds for Life, that everything imagined have already been
invented. And, second, they complete their assertion by stating
'that many things have been imagined but are just awaiting new
technologies.' Yes, the second part is right. However, in the
nearest futures and on - and because of A.I.-leveraged bio and
non-bio minds -, zillion things will be imagined and conceived with
zero precedence. And to make things even better and/or worse,
there will be the most unprecedented capabilities of
manufacturing those truly new imaginations and conceptions. If
the aforementioned people - who repeatedly pontificate ignorance
dressed of monarchy as per their desires - will just pay attention
to the registered and authenticated hard-core data concerning
doubling speed of technology, they would never dare making
such understatements, understatements that cause people to
expect foolish things like some sort of "homeostasis-ed" rate of
(a) change, and (b) chaos.

I CAN CERTAINLY OFFER REAL AND ACTIONABLE HOPE


ONCE WE COME EVEN-HANDED WITH THE HARD-CORE
SCIENTIFIC REALITIES. QUESTION: WHAT FACTS DO WE
NEED TO EVADE FROM? SAY = We continue to create new
ideas (as well as UPSIDE and DOWNSIDE disruption potential)
that add to the world's 'Three Of Knowledge'. Humans have been
adding to their total knowledge steadfastly over centuries, and the
amount of knowledge we create is multiplying at an incredible
rate. Beginning with the amount of knowledge in the known world
(having always existed an unknown or "discrete" world”at the time
of Christ, studies have estimated that the first KNOWLEDGE
DOUBLING took place about 1700 A.D. The second
KNOWLEDGE DOUBLING occurred around the year 1900. It is
estimated today that the foundations of the world’s knowledge
repository will DOUBLE AGAIN by 2010 and AGAIN after that by
2013.

THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE HIGH-TECH VISIONARY!


Because Andy is Computronium's womb-to-tomb visionary
lieutenant upon his 'omni mode' challenges contexts (gorgeous
learning devices) concerning and preserving BIO stemming from
humans, trans-humans, and beyond humans and trans-humans,
his own methodology (Transformative And Integrative Risk
Management) is, first of all, the most pervasive and proprietary (to
him and only to him) multi-tool to think ahead and to discern with
foresight and far-sighted well before UPSIDE and DOWNSIDE
events occur. Not a "joke" here, there are many years of
preparation in the Seven Seas, not so metaphorically speaking I
must say. My methodology is a "trade secret" that I make a it a
point of virtue not to resemble anything known. This gives me a
great intellectual freedom, increasingly (and increasingly
exponentially so) overriding any pre-existential or, to some
degree, pre-existential challenge to civilization if I get through the
"red tape" (elected by THE PEOPLE) to operate it. WHAT IS THE
Ulterior end of such approach? More than the ulterior, the more
USEFUL will be in helping The Human Race to prevail so many
global crises. However, humankind's say might comprise it is not
interested. That would not cause me to decrease my pace and
determination (on the contrary), as well as it will not cause any
emotion at all. REMEMBER: By neuroscience research to this
date, those "gangsters" genes -bathed in ugly mob traditions- in
the human genome are extremely inclined to do much more the
evil thing than the good deed (clearly, in massive scales). To this
end I suggest we recall Bertrand Russell's wise words (so that our
"reality check" is for real): "I know more people who'd rather die
than think." I do offer the potential and actual power to
countermeasure immeasurable difficult situations, though the
code is only of my proprietorship.

WHERE ARE THE EXTRATERRESTRIAL INTELLIGENCE


(ETI)? Some scientists from SETI (www.seti.org) assert that the
known Universe is 90% into Dark Matter and Dark Energy. As
they were speculating with Dr. Ray Kurzweil (Singularity
University Chairman, backed by NASA and GOOGLE), transpired
the idea that many of them might be "hidden" in such vast area.
And this explains the reason why perhaps SETI's communication
attempts through cosmos have not yet succeeded. To date, we
have not unmasked the "quadrants" of Dark Matter and Dark
Energy.

QUESTION: DOES PERSEVERANCE TRUMP TALENT? IN


WHOSE CASE? INDEED! It depends on the quantity of
perseverance and the quality of the talent. One thing is for certain,
if perseverance is over-charged with a tsunami of stamina to
refine, amplify, and sustain many talents, the popular adage is
entirely false in Andy's case. I remember my American,
English-Canadian, and British teachers and professors saying:
"never, never, never and never give up." However, there is a
great deal of people that some time in their life got a great
education and even managed salient enterprises. Many of them,
way too early, spontaneously opted to switch off their mind and
ruled out any knowledge-acquiring avidness for the sake of
updating. It is none of my business their own personal decisions
unless it starts affecting the own viability of our specie. As it is
none of their business how I proceed with mine. Prominent
cultures that I know well, as the three mentioned above - as well
as the German-speaking world (among others) - with immense
emphasis believe that challenges posed by personal,
professional, and organizational life are "cured" by abundant "real
time" knowledge. When the switch is turned off, the foolish adage
gains critical mass, terribly dishonoring the Classic Greeks and
worse yet, our own survival. From very early stages in my
childhood, my parents guided my into leaping forward so that
such mediocrity-driven saying is the one that goes down,
regardless of the plethora of global crises besieging Earth,
perhaps (just perhaps) our only Spaceship as Henry Buckminster
Fuller would state it. If we make an extremely intelligent and
massive effort, we can become hopeful. I will not populace into
paralysis by analysis or lay reality evasion. To me it's beyond
irresponsible.

WERNHER VON BRAUN AND ANDY ON ABSOLUTE


AGREEMENT ABOUT EDUCATION!

"How do we encourage scientific literacy? I THINK THE


PROBLEM IS HOW TO INSTILL IN STUDENTS A PERMANENT
DESIRE TO LEARN. All youth is endowed with curiosity from the
very beginning. What can education process do, not only to keep
this natural curiosity alive, but to make it a permanent part of the
individual drive? E Students should be encouraged, beyond
learning facts, to be intrigued by objects and events in their
environment, as well as to become aware of and responsive in a
positive manner to beauty and orderliness in their environment. E
LEARNING TO THINK FOR ONESELF, IN TURN, IMPARTS A
DEEP SENSE OF FREEDOM. ONCE TESTED, AN APPETITE
FOR IT IS FORMED WHICH MAY WELL ENDURE
THROUGHOUT LIFE. E ALL TOO MANY TIMES IN THE PAST,
EDUCATION - PARTICULARLY IN THE SCIENTIFIC
DISCIPLINES - HAS PLACED EXTREMELY HEAVY EMPHASIS
ON TRANSMITTING THE ESTABLISHED KNOWLEDGE OF
THE PAST. THERE HAS BEEN A TENDENCY FOR TEACHERS
TO ASSIGN, AND TO ENCOURAGE ROTE LEARNING,
INSTEAD OF TAKING THE ADMITTEDLY MORE DIFFICULT
PATH OF ENCOURAGING STUDENTS TO THINK FOR
THEMSELVES. E THE MAINSPRING OF SCIENCE IS
CURIOSITY. SINCE TIME IMMEMORIAL, THERE HAVE
ALWAYS BEEN MEN AND WOMEN WHO FELT A BURNING
DESIRE TO KNOW WHAT WAS UNDER THE ROCK, BEYOND
THE HILLS, ACROSS THE OCEANS. THIS RESTLESS BREED
NOW WANT TO KNOW WHAT MAKES AN ATOM WORK,
THROUGH WHAT PROCESS LIFE REPRODUCES ITSELF, OR
WHAT IS THE GEOLOGICAL HISTORY OF THE MOON."

DR. MALCOLM S. KNOWLES, PH.D. AND AUTHOR OF “THE


ADULT LEARNER: THE DEFINITIVE CLASSIC IN ADULT
EDUCATION AND HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT”
WROTE ON EDUCATION: “The greatest danger for the survival
of the present civilization is neither atomic war, nor environmental
pollution, nor the exploitation of natural resources, and nor
present crises. The underlying cause to all of the above is the
acceleration of man’s obsolescence E The only hope seems to
be an electroshock program to re-instill to the current adults the
competencies required to function adequately under a mode of
perpetual change. This is a profound need – the immensurable
challenge – that is presented by the modern society to adult
educator.”

In supporting Dr. Malcolm Knowles, luminary R. Buckminster


Fuller: “Either war is obsolete, or men are.”

IN SUPPORTING BUCKMINSTER FULLER, ALBERT EINSTEIN


STATED: “It has become appallingly obvious that our technology
has exceeded our humanityEWe shall require a substantially new
manner of thinking if mankind is to survive.”

IF IT WEREN’T ENOUGH FOR THE PRESENT READER, WHY


DON’T WE PAY ATTENTION TO A WORLD-CLASS AMERICAN
SCIENTIST AS HE REFLECTS? DR. CARL SAGAN: “We’ve
arranged a global civilization in which most crucial elements –
transportation, communications, and all other industries;
agriculture, medicine, education, entertainment, and protecting
the environment E PROFOUNDLY DEPEND ON SCIENCE AND
TECHNOLOGY. WE HAVE ALSO ARRANGED THINGS SO
THAT ALMOST NO ONE UNDERSTANDS SCIENCE AND
TECHNOLOGY. THIS IS A PRESCRIPTION FOR DISASTER.
We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this
combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in
our faces E I worry that, especially as the Millennium nears,
pseudoscience and superstition will seem year by year more
tempting, the siren song of unreason more sonorous and
attractive. Where have we heard it before? E Whenever our
ethnic or national prejudices are aroused, in times of scarcity,
during challenges to national self-esteem or nerve, when we
agonize about our diminished cosmic place and purpose, or when
fanaticism is bubbling up around us – then, habits of thought
familiar from ages past reach the controls E The candle flame
gutters. Its little pool of light trembles. Darkness gathers. The
demons begin to stir.”

THE REAL DEAL! -Andy: "Once you do your ethics, you can do
your actionable knowledge. Once your actionable knowledge is
done by you, you can do you future. When your future is done by
you, you can do your risks. When risks are done by you, you can
do your benefits."

BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE AND AN IMPORTANT NOTICE INDEED!


I don't have anything to do, directly or indirectly, with the broadest
sense of the financial industry. A long way before, the global
financial crisis. In fact, I have serious issues – that I make public
very often – against the ethics, morality, accountability,
transparency, and principles of many of these financial institutions
and its representatives. There are some gentlemen and ladies
seeking funding from me even knowingly that I have nothing to do
with it at all (sic), directly or indirectly, with banks, insurers, private
equity firms, asset management, investment organizations, and/or
the like. I AM ONLY AND SOLELY RELATED TO THE
SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL COMMUNITY, AS WELL
AS WITH NON IDEOLOGUE AND/OR PARTISAN THINK
TANKS.

IGNORAMUS VS. ANGLO-SAXON LUMINARY: Sir Francis


Bacon: "No term of moderation takes place with the vulgar (the
highly educated ignoramus who worships supine ignorance that is
paralyzed in a world that - very much to his / her taste - has been
caught strategically off-guard for the past 12 years. Now he is
frustrated and yet in a free fall)."

WHAT TO EXPECT! I hope I have given you some way of


thinking and perceiving the world. I request any relationship to be
authentic and meaningful. Otherwise, I decline interest. This is the
real deal!

Ludwig van Beethoven: "Music is a higher revelation than all


wisdom and philosophy."

Oscar Wilde: "To expect the unexpected shows a thoroughly


modern intellect."

Richard Dawkins (English biologistwink: "The essence of life is


STATISTICAL IMPROBABILITY ON A COLOSSAL SCALE."
Commentary: It is clear to me that he does not rely ONLY on
qualitative-driven ANALYTICS. As my own soul with must have
the quantum tutelage by deep, detail, and subtle qualitative
analyzes.

Sir Isaac Newton: "Philosophy is such an impertinently litigious


lady that a man has as good be engaged in law suits as have to
do with herEWhence is it that Nature does nothing in vain: and
whence arises all that order and beauty which we see in the
world? E does it not appear from phenomena that there is a
Being incorporeal, living, intelligent, omnipresent, who in infinite
space, as it where in his Sensory, sees the things themselves
intimately, and thoroughly perceives them, and comprehends
them wholly … The changing of bodies into light, and light into
bodies, is very comfortable TO THE COURSE OF NATURE,
WHICH SEEMS DELIGHTED WITH TRANSMUTATIONS."

Andy (Andres Agostini): "It is not about being and executing


thorough and wholly concerning the PRESENTS, better yet, is the
enlightened and sometimes dramatic realization in the always
forthcoming FUTURES that - like it or not - [ALWAYS] lays the
law of our PRESENTS."

WHO IS HE? High-tech and Mind Expansionist Visionary, Applied


Omniscience Freak, Risk Strategist (systemic, beyond so or
otherwise), Enterprise/Organization-wide Adviser, Innovist,
Creativist, Perma-Innovation Happening-Maker, Researcher,
Analyst, Perpetual Studier, Experimenter, Tester, Independent
Thinker, 'open ended' 'Iconoclast Mind Expansionist', Manager,
Writer, Editor, e-Publisher, Impossible Solver, Collector of
Scientific Knowledge and Private Library, Professional Futurology
(not into "Futurism"), Over-Communicator (omnimodely, e.g. via
any media) ...Via Own Research, Experimenting, Testing,
Consultancy, Training, et al. » ALSO: He is a humanitarian,
humane, peace maker, harmonizer, conflict resolver, clean-cut
negotiator counselor, 'morality and ethics'-driven, friendly, and a
gentleman, as well as a Mozart and Beethoven listener! If anyone
asks, I might end up as a HIGHLY-FUNCTIONALLY SOCIAL
INDIVIDUAL WITH MULTI-SAVANT CAPABILITIES IN
PRACTICE!
NB_1: When I mention the word "science," I mostly refer to the
EXACT SCIENCES without ruling out other established sciences
that will get, under Century 21, the tutelage of said "EXACT
SCIENCES." By the way, I don't claim to be a genius. I claim I can
make you one. Whether I am a genius or not, you will have to
check it out in the marshaling battlefield. AGAIN, LET'S STAY
WITHIN PEACE FOREVER!

NB_2: Andy (Andres Agostini) is the methodology developer


known as "Transformative and Integrative Risk Management,"
(TAIRM) which is thoroughly proprietary to him. Truly "advanced
risk management" is about OPTIMUM MANAGEMENT (all
chapters, all challenges, all contexts, so forth). When you come to
think of it, TAIRM is a pervasive approach to exercise—before
any issue—mind expansion in extremis, allowing to solve any
problem at all. For more information and the method definition,

NB_3: Although I am a perfectionist ONLY on my working duties, I


am not as PERFECT as to being a moralist at all. I do observe
universal values as per my creed.

PROVOKING THOUGHT 1 -Andy: Most business plans are ill


conceived indeed. If it is not a sub-set of a much greater
advanced risk management strategy, the firm will meet
gargantuan challenges. Otherwise, there will be great
opportunities! Otherwise, many bombardments and financial
calamities—among others—would have never happened.

PROVOKING THOUGHT 2 -Andy: If you don't work out your


RISKS thoroughly and firstly, you can never ever do your
OPPORTUNITIES in this Epoch!

PROVOKING THOUGHT 3 Andy-Andres Agostini: "these


days—meaning: these seconds—the totality of all is in the
perennial making. That to be 'in the making' is made—at this
time—relentlessly thought of and thought through way in
advance. This is a technique to CURRENTLY get your brains
over-sourced by zillion, practiced futuristic scenarios."By ©

WHAT I CONCEIVED AND INSTITUTE! High-Tech Visionary,


Iconoclast Futurist/Scenarist/Strategist/Mind Expansionist/Ich Bin
Singularitarian! He is the founder of the methodology
"TRANSFORMATIVE AND INTEGRATIVE RISK
MANAGEMENT," based on Systems Methodology. This method
was created and developed by Andres Agostini in 2005, given his
over twenty years of experience managing, thinking, and
researching comprehensively complex operations—and as per a
detailed perspective of several dimensions —on (i) risk, its (ii)
disruption potential, and its (iii) hidden beneficial facets (yet a long
ignored flank and a meaningful source of fiscally sound earnings).
Andres Agostini originated the extensively-practiced (as standard)
TAIRM ("Transformative And Integrative Risk Management")
procedure for managing every type of risk - legal, political, social,
economic, and technological - which has been effectively
instituted to mitigate and terminate, in advance, grave systemic
'disruption potential' in many complex frames of reference.

DEPENDABILITY WITH COOPERATION! I am extremely


dependable and cooperative not narcissistic at all. Yes, my claims
are huge but my evidence, unfortunately (???), is gargantuan
(please see it here on my Ecademy profile and in greater detail at:
http://person.yasni.com/andres-agostini-216333.htm). My ultimate
end is to resolve, directly and/or indirectly, extremely complex
problems under universal legitimacy, ethic, and own proprietary
techniques and/or otherwise. Many of those problems entail the
safety and security of people under over-complex criticalities.
Within my possibilities and my written consent, I enjoying helping
others achieve some of their objectives in (1) business pursuits,
and (2) personal and professional development. If there is doubt, I
don't mind being an ego-trapper or not. Inquiring about the
Angels' gender is not interesting to me. WHAT I CARE THE
MOST: IT'S TO BE MOST USEFUL TO THE HIGHEST
ASPIRATIONS OF HUMANKIND.
