The prevailing trend IN OUR WORLD involves widespread engagement in a spectrum of deceit and distorted perceptions, underscoring a glaring absence of a robust epistemological foundation. THIS BECOMES FOREMOST VISIBLE WHEN WE ARE DEALING WITH AN ANTICIPATION FOR OUR COLLECTIVE FUTURES, AND MORE SPECIFICALLY, WITH AN ANTICIPATION FOR THE EMERGENT PROPERTIES OF ANOTHER TOMORROW. In this context, Futures Studies and Strategic Foresight have unfortunately turned into a scam, hallucinating a world in which linear change is for sale. The normalization of manipulative practices, ideological make-believe, DARK TRIAD CHARACTERISTICS, and ESPECIALLY asymmetric power dynamics has become so ingrained in our societies that we have, regrettably, become accustomed to them. In the realm of virtuality, the pervasive pursuit of power and control IS ACCOMPANIED BY an inherent skepticism BECAUSE trusting CAN BECOME FATAL. The public sphere as well as the sciences are both broken, due to ranking algorithms based on predatory transparency that favor the lowest common denominator. THIS WILL NOT CHANGE, unless A SOCIETY OF DIVERGENT, DISSENTIENT AND NOVEL THINKERS exposes these pernicious dynamics as obsolete. The predominant double binds entrap us in a sabotaging and self-sabotaging state, meanwhile, domination through emotional and intellectual paralysis reigns supreme. As long as double binds are not properly understood as an extended evolutionary synthesis, meaningful metacommunication remains unattainable.
Our commitment lies precisely in this endeavor: presenting an alternative paradigm firmly grounded in axiology, ontology, semiotics, and epistemology to counteract the corrosive impact of lies, deception, and cognitive biases sold to us as heuristics. By fostering genuine learning experiences, we embody the difference that can make a difference.
We distance ourselves from the malignant hubris of prevailing voices, opting instead to collaboratively shape a reality where THE lived quality goes above and beyond the baseline of the default mode of a bureacratic universe that has been designed by post-traumatic disengaged subjects. Our approach involves cooperative engagement infused with a profound attention to THE BEAUTY OF details. We are thus rejecting the notion of leaving our commitment, compassion, and self-compassion confined to metaphorical absurdity.
THE COUNCIL ON TRANSPERSONAL AND TRANSMUTABLE FUTURES IS THEREFORE THE MOST astounding CUTTING-EDGE THINK THANK THAT IS CURRENTLY AROUND, truly cerebral and simultaneously psychologically soothing. Will it always remain so? We certainly hope not. We aspire for our world to become conscious of its relationships with each other and everything around us. it is all indeed a matter of intelligence, but obviously not as reductionism, hence, a different quality of intelligence that is not sterile, but keeps evolving. UNTIL that quality of intelligence becomes viral, WE OFFER PRIMARILY AND EXCLUSIVELY THOUGHT-PROVOKING LEARNING EXPERIENCES TO EXPLORE THis shifting LANDSCAPE OF MEANING. LET’S GET A TASTE OF THE CEREBRAL ROLLERCOASTER WE INTEND TO SITUATE TO BRING YOU ON BOARD:
WHAT IF YOUR ABILITY TO SHAPE THE FUTURES IS CONSIDERABLY MORE MEANINGFUL THAN YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY ASSUMED, BUT ALSO MUCH MORE COUNTERINTUITIVE THAN WE HAVE BEEN TOLD?
…or something like this:
WHAT IF THE FUTURES ARE NOT EVEN ABOUT A SINGULAR PREDICTION NOR AN ABSOLUTE TRUTH, BUT ABOUT ANTICIPATION THROUGH PLURALITY, AN EVOLVING ABILITY TO ASSESS FROM MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES?
…OR EVEN:
WHAT IF THINKING IN VIRTUALITY IS NOT ABOUT DIALECTICS, BUT MOVING ALONG A TANGLED HIERARCHY WHERE A NOVEL AND EMERGENT FORM OF THINKING IN SYNTHESIS AND PARADOX MAKES FALSE DICHOTOMIES OBSOLETE?
…and last but not least:
What if the extended-mind hypothesis is the real deal and the boundaries between individual consciousness and collective intelligence are blurred, urging us to reconsider the very design of our temporal being in a hyperconnected, hyperreal world?
WE HOPE THIS HAS TRIGGERED YOUR CURIOSITY. WE SINCERELY LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU.
