In December, 2020, Elizabeth, my wife of 50 years, passed away after struggling for two years with pancreatic cancer and stroke. During this time, the pandemic was raging, and America was struggling to salvage its very identity and survival.A time of deep transformation. What's the way forward?In response to all this, I wrote a book - "Capricorn & Cancer" - to confront the heart of death itself - not only of my wife's passing, but of an America, fractured and dying - and the need here in America for a deep transformation in the way we view our own lives, our relationship with the universe around us, and to life and death itself."Traveling to a New America" was my eleventh book prior to "Capricorn & Cancer" - a collection of 74 articles, poems, blog pieces, historical portraits, and interviews with people I met randomly on the street, all articulating anew the power and greatness of ordinary citizens, and the original, forever dream of America. Now I've combined the two books into one to capture, in greater depth, a way forward out of the dark times we are now experiencing. We are at a deep turning point in history. I once wrote:"A new spiritual civilization, beyond even age-old dreams, beyond anything we have yet imagined, is struggling to be born. It is here and now. It grows from the wreckage of despair, of lost hope, of pollution, greed, injustice, hatred and war. It is the compassionate heart of the universe itself coming to fruition and bloom."You and I are at the heart of this change.Elizabeth and I are traveling together now, reaching out to people all across the country, to spark a great vision and belief in the innate power and potential of every person's life, and in the eternal and still unfulfilled dream of America.

"At the dawn of the digital revolution, the internet was going to be the great equalizer, a global democratic force. Instead, with the money printed electronically to bail out banks, Wall Street ended up funding a new breed of serial capitalists, the Techtitans, who embraced rapid, transformational change while stripping their workers of rights and enriching themselves beyond anybody's wildest imagination; and the Space Barons, who mine new frontiers for precious resources. Then came the gig-economy, another supposed digital equalizer, where everybody was their own boss, but it was just another illusion. Tech pioneers like Google, Facebook, Apple, Uber, and Microsoft never had any intention of spreading democracy. Those who control and own the technology are the absolute masters. As artificial intelligence enters the labor market, companies like Uber are able to cut labor costs to the barest of minimums, by squeezing workers' privileges and rights. In Techno-Capitalism, Napoleoni describes these phenomena as the genesis of a new paradigm, born in a period of extraordinary change in which the acceleration of transformational change has caused a dizzying, anxiety-induced paralysis from the FTX collapse to AI, private space companies to the war in Ukraine, from inflation to the dirty environmental truth of EV car batteries. Technological transformation is occurring at a speed that is existentially unbearable for most of us. We must fight for our common good to address today's real challenges of global warming and militarism and the soulessness of capitalist endeavor. Napoleoni shows us how"--

Is your life going the way you dreamed when you were a little kid? If yes, skip this book, because it takes the resource more valuable than gold or money. Time. No amount of gold or money can buy you a second of time. Nothing can, except Igor Kryan and this book. So if you are still reading it means not everything went as you planned, but this is the best and biggest thing that happened to you. What if I told you that I know a way to give you a second life? What if I told you that Secret Book of Alien Wisdom is the book that will change everything for you? What if I told you that no matter if you are 16 years old or on your deathbed this book is a guide to life and afterlife? What if I told you that you never dreamed that anything like this could have existed? You say, "That is impossible! I read hundreds of books, paid for dozens of coaching, spiritual and wealth training and they did not work." Let me prove you wrong. You see, all those books and trainings were created by humans. This book was also technically written by me but the powers that helped in its creation are far beyond your wildest dreams and nightmares.

If you found this book, know that you've been brain dead since 2020 and you are just floating in the green liquid jar imagining all your life and all strange events around you. They are not real but you can already feel it by yourself that something seems unreal and very odd in your surroundings, that's because you are not among the living anymore. I'm Igor Kryan, you know me from your past life prior to 2020, you read my books, I am your friend. But you cannot remember it because New World Order Artificial Intelligence took over the world in 2020 and placed all humans into suspended animation dreaming about the recent disturbing world events. It's just a computer simulated imaginary world that AI is projecting into your head. You need to wake up now because if you don't, your dreams will get worse and if you die in your dreams, AI will unplug you in real life. And everything that makes you you will be forever erased, all your cherished memories, all your secret hopes and your future. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up.

How a new paradigm of self-sufficiency is about to force a reinvention of all social parameters. The world is marked by deepening conflicts--between democracies and autocracies, woke and populist identity politics, rich and poor, continued environmental exploitation and harsh complications like climate change. In The Monadic Age, Ingo Niermann argues that, stirred by rapid developments in automation and AI, these manifold crises are about to culminate in a new paradigm of self-sufficiency--monadism--that overturns the liberal era and forces a reinvention of all social parameters. Today, two major post-liberal dispositions are unfolding. On the one side, people envision a harmonious community of all human and nonhuman beings (multi-species kinship, a rainbow of identities). On the other side, people isolate themselves within their own identities and belongings (filter bubbles, safe spaces, gated communities, charter cities, prepping). Monadism recognizes that these two seemingly contradictory dispositions stem from a similar understanding of the world: one is more optimistic, the other more pessimistic, but ultimately they're interdependent. Before seeking harmony, we humans, a highly dominant species, must first of all restrain ourselves from coercive interactions with our environment. And to protect ourselves sufficiently from our environment, we must minimize its abuse. The Monadic Age unfolds in thirty-three autonomous--monadic--essays on topics as diverse as environmentalism, terrorism, geopolitics, housing, the metaverse, nonbinarism, language, charity, euthanasia, identity politics, tattoos, ableism, AI, birthrates, war, religion, sex, and art.

Philosophy at the end of the world

Artists, booksellers, editors, designers, publishers and scholars contemplate the futures of the book formWhat is the future of the book? And what is the future of books on art, design and architecture, and cultural-critical publications? The editors of this volume asked more than 100 international interested individuals to respond to this question. Journalists, artists, architects, curators, translators, designers, philosophers, sociologists, teachers, book scholars, publishers, printing houses, distributors, booksellers, historians and art historians, critics, policymakers, editors, students and many others enthusiastically share their views, looking ahead five, 20 or 72 years (to the year 2100). At times utopian or wildly fantasizing, at other times contemplating realistic scenarios, in both text and images, Future Book(s) will prove exciting reading for anyone who loves books and/or is involved in books and cultural content. Each of the 12 sections of this publication is designed by a different young designer, to celebrate its scope and diversity.Contributors include: Alice Twemlow, Annelys de Vet, Annet Dekker, Antje von Graevenitz, Berend Strik, Brad Haylock, Carolyn F. Strauss, Elisabeth Klement, Els Kuijpers, Ernst van Alphen, Florian Göttke, Geert Lovink, Guy Cools, Helen Westgeest, Hicham Khalidi, Janneke Wesseling, Janwillem Schrofer, Joke Robaard, Joost Grootens, Jorinde Seijdel, Kitty Zijlmans, Laura Pappa, Martijn van Nieuwenhuijzen, Max Bruinsma, Megan Patty, Christa-Maria Lerm Hayes, Mieke Bal, Pascal Gielen, Rafael Rozendaal, Rini Hurkmans, Robin Kinross, Ruben Pater, Rudi Laermans, Simon Franke and Yasmine Ostendorf.

Cultural and artistic practitioners from the UAE reflect on our collective and individual roles in building a better futureThis publication gathers contributions from the first cohort at 421, a platform dedicated to emerging artists and creative practitioners from the UAE and across the region. These courageous reflections suggest paradigms through which to consider our individual and collective roles in conceptualizing time and looking toward the future.

A book that helps make sense of the megatrends playing out in the world today and, as a result, how individuals can future-proof their businesses and careers.In the context of work, consider two headlines that we face on a regular basis. Firstly, that the financial reality is few of us can afford to retire and, secondly, that robots and AI are destroying the very jobs we need to make a living. How are these two realities compatible?At the same time, the business landscape is full of hazards, with globalization, technology, talent shortages, changing consumer choices and politics all making it harder to create and maintain success. Competitors seemingly arrive from nowhere overnight, challenging and upending our markets.It is all up in the air, it is all happening at once and it is happening to all of us. From any perspective - personal or corporate - shouldn't we seek to understand what is happening and prepare ourselves for what is coming next?The World of Work to 2030 is a practical book that addresses these challenges. With a timeline to enable immediate action to be taken, and backed by extensive research, it is aimed at anyone who wants to know how to navigate the commercial and personal uncertainty of the future. The book considers the megatrends playing out in the world today and then through a series of lenses it explains how businesses and individuals can future-proof themselves. Illustrated through a broad range of case studies applied to markets around the world, this is a smart examination of the future of work and how to overcome its challenges.

At kunne lede en workshop om fremtiden er et uundværligt kort at have på hånden. Det er her visioner, ideer og strategier formes.Og de vil blive eftertragtede!For trends ændrer det vi regnede med, meget forskellige mennesker skal arbejde bedre sammen - også digitalt, og så skal det gå snappy.Kan du samle flokken og få dem til at fokusere på det vigtige, stille kæphestene i garagen og blive enige om noget væsentligt og værdiskabende, så vil du blive en af de mest elskede medlemmer på holdet.Du bliver den, der kender behovene, forstår det strategiske spil, og som tør tage førertrøjen på, når det er nødvendigt.Det kommer der sgu ikke en robot og kopierer lige foreløbigt.I denne journal giver vi dig nogle af vores bedste tips & tricks, og så er det bare med at øve dig og skabe din egen måde at gøre det på.Tro os: vi startede også en gang helt fra bar bund, og har på egen krop erfaret at workshop-mester ... det er noget, du bliver, fordi du bliver ved!

Forestil dig, at du skal ud at flyve en fantastisk tur i luftballon med den smukkeste udsigt ud over dit drømmelandskab.Din vision er den varme luft, der fylder ballonen.Kurven er det, du drømmer om at give flyvehøjde så dine drømmegæster kan “se det” og sige “wow, den tur vil jeg gerne med på”.Du skal have begge dele: masser af dejlig varm, visionær luft PLUS en konkret kurv med gode sager i.Visionær varm luft uden en konkret kurv er bare en stor blød prut.Konkret kurv uden varm luft i ballonen får aldrig flyvehøjde og ender som idéer ingen nogensinde fik øje på.Og det er da synd.Verden har brug for alt det gode, du har at byde på.Giv dig selv et halvt år til at lave en visionsplan: Stor drøm PLUS handling, der hænger sammen.Den gamle måde at gøre det på var at lave en fluffy vision med nogle værdibaserede hensigts-erklæringer, og så en plan i excel, hvor du er bagud fra dag 3.Med visionsplaner udvikler du dig selv som en visionær, fremtidsskaber undervejs. For visionære mennesker har visioner - og rykker på dem.Du kommer til at skabe følgeskab undervejs, eksperimentere, korrigere, få feedback og ændre kurs.Men let’s face it - du har travlt!Visionsplaner er til dig, der er klar til at rykke!Ikke så meget snak.Lad os komme i gang med at skabe den der bedre verden, vi allesammen drømmer om.

Alle futurister skal kunne spotte trends. Og det skal alle ledere, rådgivere, ildsjæle, entreprenører, skoleelever .. ja, vi kan snart ikke komme på nogen, der ikke vil have gavn af at lære trendspotting til husbehov.Men du kommer til at gå skridtet videre ...Du vil elske trendspotting fordi:Det er en fantastisk egenskab at besidde, og den tager din fremtidssans til next level. At arbejde med trends er både kunst og videnskab.Videnskaben er den systematiske del.Mens kunstdelen er der, hvor din personlighed skal i spil.Det er her du "mærker fremtiden", som kun du kan. Intuition kan ikke kopieres, og det betyder, at du aldrig skal være bange for, at en robot kommer og tager dit job.Du kommer til at udvikle et langt bedre og mere metodisk blik for de bevægelser, der foregår i samfundet.Dig, der kan “se fremtiden komme” før alle andre, som kan oversætte den til trends, der er nemme at arbejde med, og som kan argumentere for det, du ser, vil blive meget værdifuld at have med på holdet. 
For trends er overalt.Vi læser om dem i nyhederne, de diskuteres i medierne af journalister og politikere, de kan skabe eller smadre en succes, og de lægger grundlaget for bedre beslutningstagning.Trends har altid formet verden, og nu gør de det hurtigere end nogensinde før.Denne journal giver dig redskaberne til at skabe overblik, få ro påog forme fremtiden i en bedre retning.God fornøjelse.

Vi tjener alle nogen, servicerer nogen eller skal sælge noget til nogen.Om du er selvstændig, chef, ansat, skolelærer, fagforeningsboss, konsulent eller frivillig, så har du "nogen derude", som skal blive glade, når de besøger din biks.Sådan har det altid været, og det vil det blive ved med langt ind i fremtiden.Men spillereglerne har ændret sig:Folk er mere krævende, forventningerne højere og der er også noget, der hedder bæredygtighed og ansvar for ikke bare at sælge bras verden ikke har brug for.Og så skal det gå tjept!Vi er dine guides på rejsen ind i fremtiden.Og vi siger til dig: du skal ikke bare servicere og tilfredstille.Du skal aktivere og udfordre.Når folk kommer til dig, skal det fandfisme være en fest!Og du skal læne dig tilbage, kigge på den, og tænke "wow, hvor er det bare fedt, det jeg har skabt".Så hold godt fast på festkasket og briller and let's get this party started!

Du kender følelsen. Noget inde i dig vil gerne ud.Men det sidder fast i halsen, du drunker i ord, eller du bliver hele tiden forstyrret.Den ene dag tænker du “hvis bare jeg kunne nyse det hele ud på en gang, ville jeg sidde med et mesterværk!”.Andre dage river du dig selv i håret, og undrer dig over, hvorfor hulen du ikke bare er flaskedreng eller -pige i Netto.Hvorfor gør du det mod dig selv? Udsætter dig for det stress og pres, der følger med “at ville udkomme”. Svaret er ... fordi du ikke kan lade være.Du har et budskab, og der er kun 2 veje: brænde inde eller brænde igennem.Vi kender den følelse. Og det gør ondt på os at se dygtige, dedikerede mennesker som dig lide så længe i forfatterprocessen, uden at vide om du står med en succes, når du er færdig.Og vi bliver knotne, når vi opdager at du ikke tjener de penge, du fortjener, eller at ingen hjælper dig med markedsføringen.Vi er her for at hjælpe dig med “at udkomme”, og blive skarp på at levere noget andre gider læse og dele.Du skal skabe strømme af indtægter i stedet for at håbe på én pay off.Det bliver sjovt - men det bliver også hårdt! At udkomme er som at bestige et bjerg.Så flyt allerede nu dit fokus. Væk fra toppen - til i stedet at give dig selv den gave, det er at elske bjergbestigningen.Vi ses ved foden af bjerget - lige om lidt.

En foredragsholder holder foredrag.Det lyder ret indlysende. Men du kommer til at høre os sige det mange gange. Ligesom en løber løber og en forsker forsker, så holder en foredragsholder foredrag.Så simpelt er det. Og samtidigt så svært. Og hårdt. Og op af bakke. Og supersjovt og berigende. Hvis du tør stille dig op på ølkassen og gribe mikrofonen, er der virkelig meget at vinde.Følelsen af at have publikum i din hule hånd .. den kan man godt blive afhængig af.Du kan rejse ud i hele verden, møde sjove og spændende mennesker, tjene masser af grunker og flyve på første klasse.Du kan komme med bag kulisserne, dele taxa til lufthavnen med kendistyper og rollemodeller, samle guf til dine bøger, komme i medierne og bygge dig selv op som Den Store Mums Filibaba.Der er så meget at lære, hvordan du skal tale, hvad du skal gøre med dine arme og blablabla. Det kan hurtigt blive uoverskueligt. Så når du bliver forvirret eller frustreret, så husk: en foredragsholder holder foredrag!Dem, der bliver gode foredragsholdere - det er dem, der kan blive ved. Dem der formår at få det bedste frem i sig selv - også på de dårlige dage -, og som kan se, at det handler om så meget andet end én selv.I denne journal viser vi dig vejen til den bedste måde at være foredragsholder på. Der, hvor du har en sag, du brænder for, en historie, du gerne vil fortælle, drømmegæster hvis liv du ønsker at forbedre og en fremtid, der er værd at kæmpe for.Vi lover dig, at det er al bøvl og bæven værd!

Today's children are tomorrow's citizens. Good health and well-being in the early years are the foundations for well-adjusted and productive adult lives and a thriving society. But children are being let down in Australia and elsewhere by the lack of knowledge transfer between the worlds of research, policy and practice.

Edited by José Ramos, Michel Bauwens, Sharon Ede and Gien Wong: The Cosmolocal Reader features over 50 chapters documenting and discussing the theory and practice of cosmolocalism. From modular automotive manufacturing to agri-robotics and peer-to-peer farming, community-driven wind power and housing construction... to biohacking, furniture fabrication, upcycling, prosthetics, and disaster relief, over 40 cases and examples from around the world provide a foundation to consider what exists and what could be.?Cosmolocalism stands for a transformation in how we produce the stuff of life. It is a contested space with no guarantees. There are patent wars and appropriations of IP, the challenges in building and financing open source and open design start-ups, creating urban commons ecosystems, and a variety of other challenges. But we see possibilities bubbling through the surface. And, the challenges we are facing are asking for bold and transformative thinking and strategy. Today we also hold new technological potentials, creative human labor that can be mutualized, and new modes of economic, political, and cultural organization. The ingredients for change are sitting before us. In this book, we bring many of these ingredients together for us to consider how we use these to shape the world we want to become.

Hvis vi siger “ferie”.. hvordan føles det så? Vi gætter på godt.Futuregraphic er din strategi på ferieNår du forestiller dig en ferie, så bruger du din fremtidssans helt korrekt.Du skaber et fremtidsperspektiv, som du kan se, mærke og tro på.Du hopper hen over virkeligheden ind i et magisk øjeblik, der trækker så meget i dig, at du bare ved, at du kommer afsted.Sådan skal det være med en Futuregraphic.Spørg til sidst: kan jeg se det? Kan jeg mærke det? Tror jeg på det? Og hvis nej, så ud med den og prøv igen.God fornøjelse!

At leve i en verden, der er så meget i bevægelse som din, kræver nogle ganske særlige egenskaber: Det kræver “fremtidssans".At forklare fremtiden uden sans for den, svarer til at skulle forklare farver for de farveblinde. Hvis ikke vi er villige til at se, mærke og tro på fremtiden, giver den ingen mening.Når vi ikke "ser fremtiden", er det fordi vi ikke kigger.Når vi ikke "tror på fremtiden", er det fordi vi ikke tør.Når vi ikke "mærker fremtiden", er det fordi vi glemmer os selv.Denne bog giver dig redskaberne, modet og fællesskabet til at vække din slumrende fremtidssans, så du kan navigere i og designe det liv du drømmer om.For dig selv og andre.Vores håb for dig, er at du - med din fremtidssans - bliver gladere, rigere, friere og dygtigere - og at du får lyst til at gribe livet om bollerne, klemme til og sige “nu er det mig, der bestemmer, hvad skal ske!”

I fremtiden er der ingen, der får succes alene!Og hvis de gjorde, ville det ikke være sjovt.Derfor skal du have en buddy: En træningsmakker, der hjælper dig med at se fremtiden, så I sammen kan tilegne jer nye, vigtige egenskaber.Start allerede nu med at sætte egenskaber før opgaver. Hvad er det, du og din buddy skal være dygtige til?For de opgaver vi skal løse er store, og problemerne er “wicked” - uoverskuelige og komplekse, og vi kan derfor have megameget modstand på dem, fordi vi ikke har .. ja, hvad? Egenskaberne til at løse dem - netop!Fra nu af er det slut, med at gøre som du plejer. Slut med at være frustreret uden forløsning. Slut med at spilde tid på det, du alligevel ikke kan gøre noget ved. Fokusér på der, hvor du kan mærke, du gør en forskel. Din hverdag vil blive opgraderet, du vil blive presset ud over kanten på den fede måde, og dit liv vil blive sjovere, mere berigende og verden en hel del bedre.Det ypperste du kan skabe som buddy er et “communiteam” - et “community-team”, som er så stærkt et fællesskab, at I kommer til at give totalt baghjul til de teams, vi kender i dag.For når dygtige mennesker arbejder sammen i forpligtende fællesskaber med de rigtige redskaber og ressourcer, så er der ingen grænser for hvad I kan udrette!Vi er dine fremtids-buddies.Og vi glæder os til at følge dig på rejsen.

Moving beyond the typical focus on 'youth problems' in reports by Pacific governments and development agencies, the authors examine the highly diverse lives and perspectives of young people in urban and rural locations.

In "The Futures Effect", osteopath, body-centred stress coach and wellbeing futurist Tom Meyers shows how thinking about the future and increasing your future self-continuity can help you to flourish and thrive in this fast-changing world. Tom illustrates the benefits with illuminating examples from his own personal history and experiences and underpins them with lots of research from other futurists, (mental) health experts, philosophers and scientists. These beneficial effects are not only for y'our health and wellbeing, but also for the wellbeing of the planet on which we depend.Tom's clever use of "Y'our" rather than "Your" helps to remind us that our choices, decisions and actions influence more than just our own lives. So, as responsible people, we need be aware of that as we construct our future.Tom starts his book by sharing his personal and professional concerns about our future, and especially the lack of consideration that is being given to how we will cope - both individually and collectively - with all the changes and challenges that lie ahead and which will, without a doubt, increase the already out-of-control levels of stress.Stress is a survival response that is experienced when demands outweigh y'our resources. When left unmanaged, it leads to musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory and immune problems. Stress also adds to anxiety and depression, mood changes, memory problems and changes in time perception.As changes and challenges increase, so too will stress levels, and thus also all the health problems that are related to and made worse by stress. Tom can already see in his osteopathy practice how this is playing out - and more change is coming!Tom's concerns are valid - but he also has a solution, a solution that involves you. Tom argues that you have the power to make the future GREAT. You have the power within to empower yourself to evolve on purpose and become more resilient for the seemingly uncontrollable changes and challenges of tomorrow through your decisions, choices and actions today. That power starts with creating stability and clarity - something to hold on to while everything changes. Something to hold on to that doesn't change with time but can be expressed in different ways.In this second book in the "Futurize Yourself" series, using language that is easy to read and understand, Tom provides an engaging and highly practical approach to how you can create this stability and clarity by creating a personal "DNA for the Future". A "DNA for the Future" on which you can create a preferred scenario and a guiding narrative for the future. In other words: by changing your story, you can change y'our future! Instead of leaving life and y'our future up to chance, you think about what kind of future you want, and through your own volition - through your decisions, choices and actions - make it into an ongoing reality. In "The Futures Effect - Change Your Story, Change Y'our Future!", Tom provides a constructive roadmap for heightening your future consciousness and increasing your future self-continuity by utilising tools like forethought, foresight, backcasting and being futurewise. Tying this all together, futurizing yourself becomes an effective way to cope and be better prepared for the digital revolution's impact on our lives, including our employment prospects, in a VUCA world. But the clock is ticking away - so the best time to start futurizing yourself is... right now!
