A PseudoRandomized-And-
PseudoSerendipitous Reflections In Search of Greatest Summun
Bonum: Revisiting The Forceful Current State Of Affairs With An
Omnimode Mindset Of Direction And Indirection!

Andy: \"2008’s 'Perpetual Novelty' appears entirely, increasingly unleashed from
precedent when analyzed from the longest and amplest historic perspective
(pursued by an exact-science practitioner), thus creatively disrupting (dragging the
FUTURE into this as-of-now PRESENT) a chain of past-time successions.
The links, between historic successions and other preterit sequences, not only are

‘broken’ and against fuzzy discernment and counter-intuitivism (that of my
beloved, yet-in-its-infancy Quantum Mechanics), but also beginning to get
unrelated to the essence, the substance, the depth and breadth and scope as well
as to the veritable and relevant facts, those facts eternally undergoing massively
ever-increasing dynamics. This material is hence anticipated to seal a gap in the
leadership and management literature.
No matter how many global, frenzy crises (e.g., climate, ecology, poverty,
economy, terrorism, society, geopolitics, pandemic disease, energy, geology,
malfeasance from Wall Street and 'Main Street', non-stop Universe expansion―'till
Big Crunch’s yoctosecond, etc.) of this and that. This way each one / all, en masse,
will realize how forceful everyone must come together into unison, as energized
A-C-T-I-V-I-S-T-S in favor of the benefits and against the challenges.
CITIZENS MUST COME TOGETHER ON THIS CAUSE UNEQUIVOCALLY AND
WITH THE GREATEST SENSE OF URGENCY, DILIGENT URGENCY OF
BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS. Got it get mind-prepared and ever-ready as per my
firmest POV.

Pervasive measures and countermeasures –being before numerous
vulnerabilities and threats conspiring against humans– must become generally
known and administered properly at the public level. You might wish to download
the latest official and public report by U.S. intelligence at
www.AgostniWorks.blogspot.com.
THIS IS, PERHAPS, THE REAL DEAL. It’s time (as it seems to me after deeply
researching the subject for almost 30 years), through esprits de corps talented
teams of ‘rivals’, to institute the systemic, systematic, holistic stewardship of
UPSIDE AND DOWNSIDE RISKS à la Gestalt and with the concurrent
omniscience vista.
I wonder if this public effort can be ‘BRANDED’ (communicated efficaciously and
virally) in a functional way! As long as there is not a 'MAD' catastrophe or a large
meteorite―science and technology will cogently drive mindful, inquisitive people /
intelligent hardware into enhanced transhumanity and super/overhumanity (with
biological and non-biological constituents) irreversibly towards the
Socio-Technological Singularity (i.e., as per Vernor Vinge’, Ray Kurzweil’, Eric
Drexler's, and, perhaps, that of NASA I'll, with great pleasure, venture to mention).

THE MORE THE SO-CALLED CRISES HAPPEN, THE MORE THE
EMPIRICAL-AND-OTHERWISE PROGRESSIONS OF APPLIED 'STATE OF
THE ART' WILL REGISTER WITHOUT A FAIL.
What might the human race get in exchange and by implementing
all-encompassing MANAGEMENT (all chapters thoroughly) via a compound,
all-solutions toolkit, routed with the envisioning and instituting of the optimal
totality-of-knowledge? How? By operating the mind and the brains-driven business
battlefield (just a stratum among zillion strata) with THE COMBINED,
INDUSTRIOUS ASSISTANCE OF OMNISCIENCE, PANSOPHY, POLYMATH,
ALL-KNOWINGNESS.
If attention is indeed paid to world-class, ‘cross-pollinated researched' literature
and media, What are the good news? The current civilization can increase
UPSIDE RISKS (benefits) and mitigate / terminate DOWNSIDE RISKS
(disruptions), some existential and others not. Incidentally, one situation that does
compound heavily (into terra incognita) is that of risks. CLEARLY, EVERYONE ON
EARTH MUST WORK UNDER THE ROGUE RULING OF THE ULTIMATE

DIVERSIFIED UNITY!
Diversity, when properly integrated and aligned, begets breakthrough innovation.
QUESTION: WHICH PATH / ROUTE WILL THE PROFESSIONAL /
BY-OWN-DESIRE IGNORANT, LAZY, MISTAKEN, IGNOMINIOUS, INDOLENT,
CORRUPT ONES TAKE? REMEMBER, 'ONE CANNOT GET TO A NEW
PLACE WITH AN OLD MAP.' Just might need a GPS and a SAT-Phone.
Problem: Way too many supine ignoramuses, numbering into a tough
majority. Facing Century 21, What / Where is your dynamic, real-time upgradable
roadmap? Really? I just wonder! Kindly please —to great fanfare— receive a warm
welcome to attending the DEATH OF UN-RESUSCITATABLE SCI-FI GENRE and
the ever-incarnation of ubiquitous SCI-FACTS. SUBSEQUENTLY, IT HAS
NEVER BEEN MORE CRUCIAL TO BETTER YOUR INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL
BEYOND BOUNDARYLESS DREAMS.
Anyway, 'THE EMPIRES OF THE FUTURE ARE THE EMPIRES «OR
MONARCHICAL STRATA» OF THE MIND' (Churchill). HOW HAVE THE
READER EXERCISED RADIANT AND PERVASIVE MIND EXPANSION

LATELY? The Human Race has always longed for progress, ultimately upping its
living standards for centuries. To that end, noted physicist, Dr. Stephen Hawking
declares, ‘I believe that the long-term future of the human race must be «the
outer» space.’ I ask myself, How lengthy is ‘LONG’ for Dr. Hawking?
In the process, the world stage has become a TREACHEROUS PROBLEM like
never before (if one desires to see more on what I mean, please go to:
www.slideshare.net/andresagostini/a-challenging-snapshot-summary-by-andres-
agostini-arlington-virginia-usa-presentation).
One can use a plain, lay mode to envision it (i.e., suboptimally). This is fun and
stress-free, but, once you capture a womb-to-tomb view of the world / universe
(and what if the known universe is a sub-universe of larger sets), one can easily
realize that the world civilization is into a life-to-death CHALLENGE, hugely and
increasingly complicated. This is the Epoch of Complexity-Dom!
It means that the almost-700 billion inhabitants HAVE BEEN CHALLENGED FOR
THEIR OWN SURVIVAL. In my opinion, zero magic solution, just hard, brainy
work, with zero paradigms from and to everyone. There are too many out-crying,
6

inflecting-point fronts. Behind the complexity of these increasingly daring
tribulations of 24 / 7–if mitigated and terminated–there is, though, a WEALTH OF
OPPORTUNITY.
Incidentally, this is not the taken-for-granted ‘Society Of Knowledge.’ It is very
expensive, since one must daily mortgage their intellectual capital endlessly and to
the utmost and for good. I, for example, did not obviously give birth to hominoids,
nor ever consider myself the supreme intelligence in the universe (let’s just abide
by facts and figures and preternaturalist thinking, as an amicable unasked
suggestion); Primates (including pre-humans and humans) were occupying the
land and wandering around, intrigued by copious wonders. A mind + A body + An
opposable finger (thumb) + a rock can equate to a great deal of fine and terrible,
weaponized artifacts. These tools can build up a cathedral or bring it down. What
are the fundamental ethical principals involved?
Those, today, gain easily critical mass when the 7-billion souls wish to breathe and
make a living and enjoy some world-class life standards, literally ‘de luxe.’ The
adage, ‘one thing at the time’ will NOW be replaced by ‘A PLENTIFUL,
FOREVER-ONGOING CLUSTER / BUNCH OF DRAMATIC THINGS IN REAL
7
(c) Copyright 2008 Andres Agostini
TIME AND ALL OF THE REAL-TIME TIME.’
As people have evolved and progressed, they have partly compounded the past
into the present. MEANTIME, THE FUTURE IS ALWAYS PRE-CLASHING THE
CURRENT PRESENT. GOOD TO KEEP IN CONSIDERATION, ‘IT IS OUR
FUTURE THAT LAYS DOWN THE LAW OF OUR TODAY’ (FRIEDRICH
WILHELM NIETZSCHE). THIS ‘PRESENT’ IS INFINITELY (NON-LINEAR-LY)
MORE COMPLEX THAN OTHER PRESENTS.
Now, we reached a canonical milestone that requires each one of us to do the best
we know NON-STOP-LY. Back in the eighties, life was much easier, say, in the
West. It is difficult not to feel nostalgia for those at-ease times. A great Scotsman
speaks about this in length. He, Eamonn Kelly, works for Global Business Network
(Kelly is GBN’s CEO). He authored a great book, ‘Powerful Times’. Thereby,
ZERO EASINESS AND NONE SIMPLE SOLUTIONS, ARE NEVER EVER
VIABLE IN THIS FLUID EPOCH. If one were to apologize subsequently, (please)
not me, not to me.
We have been called to revolt and act upon many techniques and methods

compiled and compatible with a technocratic revolution. But to get the maximum
output, the musical must be choreographed (processes stemming from the
respective throughput) and, above all, acted based on ‘esprit de corps’ unanimity.
By the way, I am into frictionless capitalism, though I seriously doubt that the
worldwide stock markets will be the same.
By the same token I, too, strongly believe in assisting the people as an extremist
humanitarian. I’m a centrist + independent (without foolish ideologies, dogmas,
doctrines) and within TRUE DEMOCRATIC VALUES AND PRACTICES,
OBSERVANT OF UNIVERSAL VALUES.
Thus, keep in mind, ‘HE THAT WILL NOT APPLY NEW REMEDIES MUST
EXPECT NEW EVILS «CHANGED CHANGES THAT DISRUPT OUR
LONG-HELD SYSTEMS OF BELIEFS, COSMOVISIONS (MICRO AND MACRO
AND BLENDED ONES), ETHOS, AND COMFORT ZONES»; ‘FOR TIME IS THE
GREATEST INNOVATOR.’ (Sir Francis Bacon).
Incumbents, the civilization in its entirety, are entrusted with seeing the big picture,
namely the FLOWING, OVERRIDING W-H-O-L-E. If one does not comprehend it,
9
(c) Copyright 2008 Andres Agostini
seize assistance from a pro. This attempt is not only supreme within civilization’s
vested interest, but it’s ―also and indubitably― a sine qua non that humankind
must not fail to ignore. Ignoring it will be foolish for lack of a more grotesque
profanity. Let’s keep in consideration, ‘an ignored issue is a problem invitation’ (Dr.
Henry Kissinger). To further illustrate this whitepaper’s focus, ‘a problem can never
be resolved at the same level of knowledge that was created.’ (Einstein).
Can Andy recommend a success prescription for the presently-shifting Eon, let’s
state yea! As ensues:
Picture mentally radiantly.
Draw outside the canvas.
Color outside the vectors.
Sketch sinuously.
Far-sight beyond the mind’s exoskeleton.
Abduct indiscernible falsifiable convictions.
Reverse-engineering a gene and a bacterium or the genome.
Guillotine the over-weighted status quo.
Learn how to add up—in your own mind— colors, dimensions, aromas,
encryptions, geometrical and amorphous shapes, enigmas, phenomena,
10

methods, techniques, codes, written lines, symbols, contexts, semantic
terms, magnitudes, longitudes, hunches, so forth.
Retroproject your wisdom wealth on communities of timeless-connected
wikis.
Cryogenize the infamous illiterate by own choice and reincarnate (multiverse
teleporting) Da Vinci, Bonaparte, and Einstein.
Organize relationships into voluntary associations that are mutually
beneficial and accountable for contributing productively to the surrounding
community.
Practice the central rule of good strategy, which is to know and remain true
to your core business and invest for leadership and R&D.
Kaisen it all unthinkably and thoroughly by recombinant,
Gendaken-motorized judgment.
Provide a roadmap for drastically compressing the time it will take you to get
on the top of the job, nonetheless of your level in your organization.
With the required knowledge and relationships imbedded in organizations,
create support for, and carry out transformation initiatives.
Offer a tested pathway for addressing the linked challenges of personal
transition and organizational transformation that confront leaders in the first
11

few months in a new tenure.
Foster momentum by creating virtuous cycles that build credibility and by
avoiding getting caught in vicious cycles that harm credibility.
Institute coalitions that translate into swifter organizational adjustments to the
inevitable stream of changes in personnel and environment.
Mobilize the overriding energy of many others in his organization.
Additionally, it is good and timely to remember some of Napoleon's wise words. I
consider Napoleon an ultimate authority on applied 'Scientific Systems
Methodology,' even as per our present-times standards. Napoleon firmly
suggested boys, graduated from the 'lyceum' (high school) and honorably
discharged from the army, to master two vital disciplines. One was the ENGLISH
language and the other was SCIENCE. Voltaire, too, emphasized the essentiality
of this language. Put simply and briefly, this is it for now.” ―By Andres Agostini
