2. Humans & Medical

The population today is an ill group. We have massive obesity in countries, we have a growing Cancer death threat, with each region/country having its own problems.

If we just look at the Asian body compared to the European body, there is an obvious difference in the medical fraternity. To perform a heart operation is much more difficult on an Asian person compared to a European, because the arteries are much narrower. So we can look around the world and point various differences from different nationalities, not least of blood types and make up.

All of us and many people in the past have wanted to live longer, but how do we do this.

My view is that science and genetics will change our bodies in order to become more standardized.

If we can standardize bodies this means that we can lessen the rejection of organs and if we can do this, why can’t we have spare parts (organs) from the shelf!

People will become fitter and healthier than today and with the change of a standardized body, will improve intelligence.

The use of science and genetics can do this, but the main task is how can we keep a young skin? Either we find a cream that keeps our skin young and unwrinkled and can keep it moist and flexible and not dry with not flexibility. The other alternative is for genetics to be able to create a process of skin regeneration, so skin shedding. If reptiles can do this, doesn’t it make sense that humans can do the same.

Let’s say that Humans can live until they are 150 years old and can work until they are 100, this can have all kinds of benefits as well as non-benefits.

The point is that it should be possible and not in the too distant future.

People will seek a more holistic existence with their working life. They will want a more balanced life and not ‘ live to work! We will ask ourselves how can we have a better work balance and what purpose are we living for?

This will involve a decline in materialism and therefore our mindset will change. Since the Industrial age we have been very materialistic with new found wealth, but do we need it? The answer is No. why do we need debt, why do we need things we hardly use etc etc.

We will see a reduction in our stress levels.

1. Industry and Business

Since the beginning of the Industrial revolution we have had small companies, grow to big companies. Once they reach this level, the business introduces a management hierarchy.

Large companies become complex and it creates a separation of the different types of workers i.e. White collar, blue collar, middle management, top management etc.

It creates a conflict with workers, they fear speaking up, in case they say the wrong thing and the Manager becomes upset. I see the future as becoming an uprising for the employee, where all workers, will be able to be open and say things in truthfulness and not be afraid of any retribution from management. Otherwise, how can companies succeed, while moving into the 4^th phase of our evolution.

We have seen recently, that companies become so big, that eventually they can only make decisions by the most senior Manager and it’s their decisions that move the companies to their next goal.

However, it’s my view that most large companies are creating inertia in the decisions, or their progress, because one person cannot make all the right decisions.

The whole basis in today’s world is, what can we return to the shareholders?

There is no consultation with the workforce, because they are scared of saying anything.

And yet the workforce, are people who buy the products and have ideas and thoughts on how to improve the goods.

Because companies are so large and that currently, there is an economic problem globally, companies feel that they now have total control over conditions and have introduced, zero hours contracts. This means that they can have workers when they say so and on their terms. This will of course lead to an eventual rebellion.

We are seeing in Greece and Spain 25% unemployment and this cannot continue to increase without revolutions. It’s likely, that after this period that companies MUST change on how they run companies.  Management will move towards their  rewarding and accountable on several basis. They will have to look at staff health and instead of waiting for staff to become ill, they must introduce employee Well Being programmes, to ensure that their staff mitigate illness as best possible. Managers will be judged on their community and social projects. How they will support local groups , whether sport or educational. Managers will be judged by their internal and external social programmes (i.e. how they look after families and how they integrate families within the work for their families. Corporations will supply; Mental Health clinics, Massage facilities, psychotherapy, physiotherapy etc

The old style large company buildings will disappear when the following is taken into account:

·         Travel time for staff

·         Costs for running large offices i.e. restaurants, gyms, Office furniture

·         It will be cheaper for staff to work from home or from much smaller regional offices, where staff only need to visit infrequently.

This will lead to families becoming closer, an increase in local community projects

The Industrial ownership is changing globally. China has taken about 30% of all Raw material companies in Asia and are currently buying out the African countries. China also owns 95% of all Rare Earth material. Eventually they will hold the manufacturing world to ransom that China hasn’t taken over. This will be a reason albeit too late, that governments will fund new services elsewhere.

This means that corporations will begin to look at less profit and returns to their shareholders, as a means of change and longevity of business and resources. Making staff a safe and happy and healthy environment will mean the world to all.

Corporation Chairman and board members will have a maturity not yet seen and they will take part in committees of local, regional and global magnitude and be asked to make decisions for the best of their people and the people of the world, as well as ethical responsibility, especially with regards to the environment, community concerns. They will also be responsible for economic, technological and social problems.

Management will look at all genders and use their feminine and masculine sides. This will make a balanced responsibility.

Business stakeholders will include;

·         Countries

·         Ecosystems

·         Gaia (Mother Earth & nature)

This means creating value for All.

Dysfunctional corporations and companies not willing to change for the better will not survive.

Companies will need to promote:

·         Recycling

·         Fund Educational programmes

·         Employees serve on joint corporation / citizen committees, to determine community needs.

·         Peace

·         Service

·         Personal fulfillment

·         Planetary and personal health

·         Justice

·         Sharing

How is the Corporation handling its global responsibilities?

What is the Corporation doing to improve creativity and Vision

New Corporation Structure.

Structure                                   =          Community

Locus of control and authority     =          Consensual decision making; everyone a leader, everyone a follower

Role of Management                  =          Non-existant

Atmosphere                              =          Freedom of self expression for all, openness and acceptance, equality,

                                                            flexibility and lifelong learning.

Team value model

Managers can be chosen by product or project

Democratic Model

No leader / Manager

In all, by changing our view of the corporate world and the way that we work, will reduce crime, though more leveling of the corporate world and the creation of work in business or the community.

If we become can make more involvement with community and our environment, will make us closer to nature, which in turn will save Earth and we can live longer.

.Today I will begin my thoughts for the future. You may agree and you may disagree. All I can say is that over the years I have been able to foresee many things, but as time goes by, no one remembers what I have said and neither do they care. So I have decided to publish my thoughts for our future, which are likely to happen without me being able to say ' I told you so!'

I will serialize it over the next couple of weeks and will publish one section at a time.
I hope that you don't find it too boring.

     Introduction

Everything has a pattern and today is no different. What we are seeing at the moment are conflicts, whether they are political, Terrorism, Economical, Social, Cultural.

All of them are linked and a symptom of the changes that are occurring globally.

Let’s take the global pattern I mentioned. When man came to be, he started to expand in population. This population needed feeding, so they created hamlets, then Villages and then Towns and then Cities. Up until this time the main focus was creating enough food to feed everyone. Families became farmers, who then invited friends to join the farming business.

Eventually, these communities became so big that food and requirements became large enough to enter another pattern.

At this point, we start to enter into the Industrial pattern and the need to standardize goods. This is the era where we became materialistic. This began about 1780 AD when the first machines were invented. Then things began to balloon. Hence the birth of the Manufacturing stages. This brought in large buildings and assembly lines. As these grew, it brought in Management, which then began the ‘chain of command’ which then brought in middle management and senior management.

This era, brought in people wanting to better themselves, by showing trophies like; houses, cars, jewelry etc.

In 1950’s a new introduction was shown and this was the introduction of TV and computers.

This pattern is still in the current phase, but it is beginning to clash with a new phase.

This new phase is where my thoughts begin.

Don’t be under any illusion, the new pattern we are entering will clash significantly with the current pattern and the next phase will take over in a short period of time.

The global turmoil is part of the start of this clash.

We have global unemployment, which causes population unrest through boredom, as well as low esteem, having had secure jobs for many years.

We have terrorism, which is caused by poverty, when others have riches. It’s very easy to create unrest and , when people are finding day to day life a struggle. The Taliban for example provide promises, religion, a culture and some compensation for families.

We have political unrest in many of the developed countries. Why?  We can’t trust politicians anymore.

They have proven to lie, they have proven to line their own pockets and as for serving their electorate, these politicians are few and far between. Political bodies are unelected and yet pass laws that we don’t want and certainly don’t provide any benefit to us!

So based on this I decided to think and read about the future and I decided to share my thoughts with you.

There has to be a global stewardship created and people will look towards personal fulfillment.

We will look for unity in economic and social justice, as the law becomes unmanageable due to lack of resources. Leadership will include sharing local, national and global affairs.
