Matrixing- Futurism's Manual To The Next Millennium

by Ace Starry


The Magic Life - A Novel Philosophy

Matrixing: Chapter 3 - Futurism not based on a past is a better way to conceptualize the future.

Dont get me wrong, we still have enough mortality, hard work, and starvation in this world to go around. However, in general we are getting better because we have the ability to learn from our past. We have recorded history and have been able to learn from history. Often I hear it said that we are continually making the same mistakes and that we simply dont ever learn from history thus we are destined to repeat it. This is just not a truism. We do learn from history, but the mistakes of the past dont necessarily teach us the lessons that we need for today or the future. The lessons of the previous matrix may or may not apply to the current matrix.

One of the most often used comparisons is that of the First World War which was to be the war to end all wars. What happened? Well, mankind did know a lot about war, by the end of the war, but we didnt know much about peace. A peace settlement that could not be lived with was created. We did in fact learn from that mistake and did not make the same mistake with the Japanese or Germans after the end of WWII.

The point is that with the constantly changing environment, economic theories, political processes, we can't always use the past as a valid basis for decision making. You know that old saying, "Just when I thought I had the answers they changed the questions." This is so true. Decisions should be made based upon past knowledge only when it is applicable to the current matrix!

Plotting the future is like trying to draw a graph on a crawling snake. No matter where you put the points on the graph, the snake constantly changes directions. If you try to make decisions based upon this graph the snake ends up biting you in the ... oh, you know. The only way to possibly use this graph to make a prediction of the future is to try to predict what the snake is going to do first. Once you have the snakes movements predicted you can determine where the next point on the graph will be.

Think of the snake as being the matrix. We need to determine where the matrix is headed before we can determine what the changes will be in our future.

The amazing thing is that we dont have to know the past if we can determine two things:

  1. If we know the direction of the future
  2. If we can determine a starting point

By developing individual matrices within and around the direction of the grand matrix we can see the future of the evolution of man on a scale, grand or small. Amazingly, we can apply these matrixes to many different aspects of life. Once we understand how man develops his systems for managing the environment, have determined the evolution of the environment, and know which direction the matrix is moving; we can predict what systems will be developed next or how the current system will evolve.

This applies to many different aspects of life: social, religious, economic, governmental, business; all are matrices which are formed within and around the grand matrix. Each individual matrix must fit within the grand matrix or it will not survive. That is to say that an individual system must fit into the total evolutionary process. When the grand matrix changes drastically such as is happening now, each individual matrix is forced to fit in, change, or is replaced by something else that works better for man within his current environment.
