Quest for Higher Intelligence: Ask Bigger Long-Term Legacy Questions, Get Bigger Long-Term Legacy Answers

"You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, 
build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete." -- Buckminster Fuller

Bigger Long-range Questions = Bigger Long-range Creative Intelligence? If we ask bigger, faster, long-term legacy-destiny questions -- we're going to get bigger, vaster, long-term legacy answers. Imagination-mind-brain focus and parameters will s-t-r-e-t-c-h and e-x-p-a-n-d. This can't be helped because of the what-you-see-is-what-you-get "WYSIWYG" nature of human conscious focus. 

Wider/Longer Focus -- Diversified Ideas? If you focus (superposition) your intelligence in a vaster environment of vaster questions, it's going to grow! Diversify! You're going to "see" a much larger context, vaster information, and need to engage larger imagination. You enter new "mental territory."

Vaster Context Thinking = Seeing Vaster Context? You're going to see a s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d out context and thus: Many new viewpoints. Is this not what distinguishes higher creative intelligence? Connecting more dots because you see more dots to connect -- and perhaps see farther into the future? Can we change destiny by engaging vaster contextual thinking, asking bigger-thinking questions in longer-term contexts?

But... how do we see into the future if we never look into the future?... 10 Questions to Ask for a 1000 Year Business Plan Exercise:

Coming Soon: Physical Retail & Community Center Disruption. Innovation: What Will It Look Like in 1000 Years?

Meme: Physical Human Exchange Communities...were always built around in-person trading/exchange of goods, food, services, entertainment/celebration, spiritual experiences. What now? Innovation Central... Someone will "get" this opportunity.

Coming Soon: Biggest transformation in the next decade may be the evolution of a new form of Physical Retail human community experiences. Is it linked to consciousness and communication technology? Or to human evolution?

Happening now: General economic degeneration/closing/withering of many locally owned unique stores, and this was followed by closing department stores and chain stores, and then "shopping centers" and malls; emptier movie theaters and theatrical events, even sports events -- as entertainment is at home and available income too low for them. Church and spiritual experience, traditional or new age, attendance dwindling...

Only Apple Stores or places to have technology repaired seem to have lots of people around and lines. Why did Apple want to buy college bookstores that Borders abandoned, not cut back their retail. Are they onto something about the physical gathering places for technology exploration, of the future?

Of course there are bars/alcohol (marijuana) or related establishments, Restaurants -- and Grocery/Produce stores with frozen & perishables --  but they too are down in customers compared to the past -- too expensive, you can buy groceries online -- and there's a lack of disposable income, yet they do better than other local retail. But no real change in the Human Experience of the grocery store or restaurant, etc. Will the future be just 3D printing, (can't print food...), selling or buying on Amazon or Ebay or Etsy or Craigslist -- or?

Something new may be coming: AND IT MAY HAVE TO DO WITH LOCAL GATHERING AND COMMUNITY -- Community exchanges, trading centers, for free, meet ups, local impromptu entertainment. It may be good for local emergency centers as well, related to volatile weather, etc.

Ultimate Marketing: Social Media from Mars? Interplanetary MBA? & NASA Prepares for Space Living...

"We will start inhabiting outer space," says Angelo Vermeulen, crew commander of a NASA-funded Mars simulation. "It might take 50 years or it might take 500 years, but it’s going to happen."  Angelo and his team are already focused on a 500 Year Business Plan.  Why not a 1000 Year Business Plan?
Is it time to activate your Interplanetary Commerce & Interplanetary Social Media imagination?
Watch Angelo Vermeulen's TED GLobal  Talk, 2014: "How to Go to Space without Going to Space."  

     Click here to watch video

Ah -- a whole new take on Interplanetary Career Planning and "Extraterrestrial Life"... All Astronauts who travel to the moon or Mars are temporarily "extraterrestrial" -- will your great grandchild working on a Moon project be an "extraterrestrial engineer"? 

Will "The Ultimate Marketing Plan," considered now, have us conceiving of designs for interplanetary social media/communication now...

Angelo Vermeulen's crew is already looking at creating new kinds of "sustainability": Growing food to sustain you on Mars...? But what about Social Media Sustainability? Sustaining your TRULY LONG-DISTANCE RELATIONSHIPS...? Tweeting from Mars, marketing from Mars (imagine how valuable Mars location videos could be for advertising or entertainment?) 


"Interstellar," the movie, raises the issues of time travel and non-local consciousness communication methodologies -- as practical problems that we will have to solve. But with different minds. The very act of non-local travel changes consciousness -- as most Astronauts have reported.

"1000 Year Social Media? Why Don't Extraterrestrials Carry Phones..? & Other Long-Term Business Issues"...

1000 Year Social Media? What Does that Look Like? 
Why Aren't Extraterrestrials on Twitter?
Why don't Extraterrestrials Carry Phones?

"Who will be unexpected customers in far decades coming? Isn't it time innovators begin to think of them now?" S.H. Rodman

Likely we start by planning for a time when there aren't computers or phones -- and perhaps consciousness/telepathy and technology will be subsumed by something else 10 generations new by then. 

No Screens? Virtual Reality Social Media? Interdimensional Social Media? Will there be a web at all -- or a Hyperspace Web? A Virtual Reality Reality??...




In literature regarding reported human interplanetary-travelling extraterrestrial  contact over the last 7 decades… The interesting thing about visitation reports by humans (many thousands, so imagine if only 5%-10% were true unknown encounters) -- well, the interesting thing is that nobody reports visitors using a phone; a pad; a watch or something like Goggles like Google Glass. Generally.

If they use screens, it is to show something to human beings -- we speak "screens."  But there aren't hordes of visitors reportedly checking iPads or laptop screens to see what to do next or pull up data about you. And any visitor who might be here in physical form would have been part of an advanced society of interstellar beyond-speed-of-light travelers for whom "1000 year" concepts in science and technology might be trivial.

So if they don't use these, what do they use? What will our technology look like in 1000 Years? What will we learn from other humanoid planetary civilizations?
"How will interstellar humans express the desire to create vastly   innovative new kinds of social media? Are we missing out right now?"
Extraterrestrials are often reported to be beings of supersensory intelligence -- hyperintelligence linked into hyperspace travel, who can arrange to use matter and energy according to other laws or perceptions of reality, to travel outside the laws of our known physics.

Welcome to The 1000 Year Business Plan: Make It Matter, Make It Last, Make It Destiny

What if you went to an MBA School and every class was focused on 1000 year planning? Who would you be, and what societies would we produce? (See Exercise at end.)


The 1000 Year Business Plan, 1000 Year Financial Planning (who's to say that you're not planning the financial future for your family 10 generations ahead right now, with every personal choice? Who's to say there will be such a thing as "financial planning" in shared interplanetary civilizations 10 generations hence?) What will there be?



It's about to get real serious real fast. We're passing the Silicon barrier and Intel and everybody else are looking for something else. Are you in the "something else" business yet? No? Get thinking about it because it's here.

“New streets should be Twitter friendly and be named with hashtags up front. I’d build a house on ‪#‎LoversLane.” -- Jarod Kintz, Write like no one is reading…

Who Moved My Qubit? What's a Computer??

We're approaching Quantum Computing (Google just hit a milestone in development) and you'll have to learn qubits -- "Who Moved My Qubit?" will be a popular new book...

Though who knows if Quantum Computing will be around in 1000 years -- or computing at all? "What's a computer?" -- they might ask! In Grace Hopper's day in early programming, the women who did the computing were called "the computers.


Do They Have Swamp Gas on Ceres?

As we orbit the asteroid Ceres with its two sparkling "mystery lights" -- goodness only knows what THOSE are (I mean what they really are; wonder if they have swamp gas on Ceres?) -- and as we work on colonization missions for Mars and the Moon proceed anon: Well!


Wouldn't a 1000 Year Car make sense if you're going to live in deep space? Hey -- it takes a LONG TIME to get a part from Earth if your carburetor goes out!
Read Kurt Vonnegut's "Sirens of Titan"... Great pre-planning tips for writing a 1000 Year Business Plan. Don't let this happen to you!)
Want a big Brain Stretch right now? Want to spark your "quantum leap innovators mind" -- jump into a new timeline!

Want to get a new "lease" on long-term life? Start Writing Your 1000 Year Business Plan now and watch what happens to your daily "To Do List"... to your sense of what is really innovative over eons, what is really creative when it has to last 1000 years?
