” As a thirty something, I always find it such a fascinating contradiction how Bob shapes most of his ideas from a bygone age long before the internet revolution – yet these same ideas represent the revolutionary cutting edge of today and will completely redefine our future.”

It’s not a contradiction. One of my most fundamental messages here is and has been how to tell the future, and how NOT to tell the future. I was READY for the computer age or whatever else happened.

In fact, by definition, if one can see how to prepare for the future from experience in human affairs, it should make little difference WHEN he got that experience.

That is the reason I keep warning you about how slippery planning for such and such in the future can be. I was warning people against waiting for “Torchlight Parades” over a decade ago.

That is why I read so much old science fiction and do my Futurology “3-D.”

One gets PAID to be a Futurologist exactly the way one gets paid to be a respectable conservative or the way one gets research grants: You deliver the message money-people want delivered.

Futurology grants are not granted in the future, and no one keeps track of the billions given to Sovietologists for total failure or for absurd Futurology.

We depend on the future. It is our whole concentration. “Experts” are playing a game in which the bigger a crisis they cause, the quicker they get promoted.

Nothing matters less to a Futurologist than the actual future.

The future is our ONLY serious concern.

Is what I just said “esoteric”?

Not at all. It is exactly what Iceknight is pointing to.

“Torchlight Paraders” will TTGH if I tell them that genes are likely, in the not too distant future, to become a matter of choice.

If our Mantra Movement had not occurred, the open statement that one wants white genes to save the white race would have become more and more a matter of extremism.

Whatever happens in the future, the attitude we set is critical. This worked in the Past Ages when I had my experience, and it works today and I would have concluded the same no matter what age I lived in.

Thanks, Iceknight.
