Abstract In this paper, the author describes his Contentless Consciousness Theory (CCT), specifying two types of consciousness: delusional and contentless. Contentless consciousness is the true consciousness. The consciousness most of us have is delusional consciousness. We can eliminate the delusions of consciousness and their psychological structures by pursuing self-enlightenment. Eventually the delusional consciousness is transformed into contentless consciousness, a state of total liberation and authentic happiness. The three kinds of empirical evidence for supporting CCT are also described which are near death experiences, mediumship, and reincarnation. Finally, the paper concludes by providing 8 possible applications and topics for future research.

Abstract Meta-analyses of experiments investigating human behavioral and physiological reactions to unpredictable future events suggest the existence of a poorly understood ability to “feel the future.” Is this effect reflected in sentiment metrics based on social media posts? To find out, analysis of 13 years of daily Twitter sentiment data in 10 languages was examined two weeks prior to events assessed as significantly negative and unpredictable, including acts of terrorism, mass shootings, unexpected deaths of celebrities, etc. Results of the analysis was statistically significant (p = 0.001), suggesting the existence of a form of collective presentiment.

Scholars and practitioners have long criticized the inherent dominance of Western ideas in futures studies and claimed the need for a de-centering or decolonizing of the field. As a process of transforming science, de-centering occurs on at least two levels: at the level of thought and at the level of social structure. Sociologists of science, Science and Technology Studies (STS) scholars, and others have conducted research for many years on the interlinkages between social structures and knowledge structures and have developed several concepts to do so. In this article, I discuss some of these concepts and combine these theoretical conceptualizations with a co-citation analysis of recent publications in the futures studies. Based on a sample of futures studies publications that have appeared in the last ten years (n = 500) retrieved from the Web of ScienceTM database, a strongly inter-related network with four clusters can be identified. The works in each these four clusters are related in terms of their subject matter. They concern (1) the politico-intellectual program of futures studies, (2) their epistemological foundations, (3) questions of methodology, and (4) scenarios as the core technique of futures thinking. Both the works and their authors come from a broad variety of cultural backgrounds; they also display a relatively high number of co-citations with works in clusters other than their own. Taken together, these findings indicate that the information space sampled in this study to represent futures studies has already become de-centered to a large degree, both at the level of social structure and at the level of thought.
学者和实践者长期以来一直批评西方思想在未来研究中的固有主导地位,并声称需要对该领域进行去中心化或去殖民化。作为科学转化的过程,去中心至少发生在两个层面:思想层面和社会结构层面。科学社会学家、科学技术研究(STS)学者和其他人对社会结构和知识结构之间的相互联系进行了多年的研究,并为此发展了一些概念。在本文中,我讨论了其中的一些概念,并将这些理论概念与未来研究中最近发表的共被引分析结合起来。基于从Web of ScienceTM数据库中检索到的过去十年中出现的期货研究出版物样本(n = 500),可以确定一个具有四个集群的强相互关联网络。这四组中的作品在主题方面是相关的。它们涉及(1)未来研究的政治知识程序,(2)其认识论基础,(3)方法论问题,以及(4)情景作为未来思考的核心技术。这些作品及其作者都来自不同的文化背景;他们也显示出相对较高的共被引次数,而不是他们自己的作品。综上所述,无论是在社会结构层面,还是在思想层面,本研究所选取的代表未来研究的信息空间已经在很大程度上去中心化了。

Abstract We analyze process of global population aging, which will have a significant impact on all areas of public life in the 21st century. Global aging is likely to create an acute demand for labor-saving technologies, as well as give a powerful impulse in the field of medicine. As a result of the completion of Cybernetic Revolution and achievement by global aging of an advanced phase, a new society will be formed–cybernetic society. It is likely to be an elderly society, with the institutionalization of age differences, relying almost entirely on smart (cybernetic) technologies and AI-based self-regulating systems.

Abstract The transfer of technical artifacts from industrialized countries to other parts of the world is nowadays a common and everyday occurrence. But the differences in the cultural backgrounds of societies, and the cultural and social consequences of technological incursion on destination societies have led to conflicts and dichotomies that have sometimes destroyed the cultural infrastructure of these destination societies. Therefore, making changes to imported technologies and the possibility of developing technology based on the needs of the native culture have been indispensable necessities for destination communities. In this article, we explore the possibilities surrounding this issue and look for a solution to be implemented. To this end, we first review and critique the views of scholars of science and technology studies and also of the philosophy of technology, and in particular look at the work of Ihde and Feenberg. We found their answers to these questions to be constructive but lacking a holistic approach that is also practicable. Finally, by presenting a three-step solution of our own, we try to bridge the gap and link the ideas of thinkers and the real issues of technology and culture in non-industrial societies. We believe these three steps offer a way to indigenize various forms of imported technologies.

Abstract This article explores the viability of the Hermetic worldview against the concept of the Anthropocene. Hermeticism’s unity of being offers a responsive ontology to the disruptive legacy of the epoch. Through review of its criticisms, the article highlights imperialist, naturalist, and anthropocentric assumptions that make the Anthropocene a problematic and inadequate description for future ecology. A reawakening of Hermeticism is examined as an alternative spiritual ecology addressing nature from the inside out. Taking insight from Green Hermeticism, the unity of being is contemplated as a creative principle in spagyrical alchemy as a practice of ecological healing.

1. In the first decades of the 21st century, we have reached a crucial juncture in our history. We are on the threshold of a new stage of social, spiritual and cultural evolution, a stage that is as different from the stage of the earlier decades of this century as the grasslands were from the caves, and settled villages from life in nomadic tribes. We are evolving out of the nationally based industrial societies that were created at the dawn of the first industrial revolution, and heading toward an interconnected, information-based social, economic and cultural system that straddles the globe. The path of this evolution is not smooth: it is filled with shocks and surprises. This century has witnessed several major shock waves, and others may come our way before long. The way we shall cope with present and future shocks will decide our future, and the future of our children and grandchildren. 2. The challenge we now face is the challenge of choosing our destiny. Our generation, of all the thousands of generations before us, is called upon to decide the fate of life on this planet. The processes we have initiated within our lifetime and the lifetime of our fathers and grandfathers cannot continue in the lifetime of our children and grandchildren. Whatever we do either creates the framework for reaching a peaceful and cooperative global society and thus continuing the grand adventure of life, spirit and consciousness on Earth, or sets the stage for the termination of humanity’s tenure on this planet. 3. The patterns of action in today’s world are not encouraging. Millions of people are without work; millions are exploited by poor wages; millions are forced into helplessness and poverty. The gap between rich and poor nations, and between rich and poor people within nations, is great and still growing. Though the world community is relieved of the specter of superpower confrontation and is threatened by ecological collapse, the world’s governments still spend a thousand billion dollars a year on arms and the military and only a tiny fraction of this sum on maintaining a livable environment. 4. The militarization problem, the developmental problem, the ecological problem, the population problem, and the many problems of energy and raw materials will not be overcome merely by reducing the

Abstract This study focuses on the development of a Virtual Environment application that interacts with a haptic device, to analyze the human process of learning 3 D shapes. The levels a person goes through in this learning process are established based on the Model of Hierarchical Complexity, translated into questions, and tested with a sample of users. The obtained results validate and demonstrate an increase in hierarchical complexity along the questions/stages and validate the Model, with most users following the concept that for a person to accomplish a higher hierarchical task, must be able to accomplish all the lower ones.
