THE FUTURES ASSOCIATION FOR THERAPY AND ENTERTAINMENT: MANIFESTO
BACKGROUND
The FATE Institute was established by private endowment in 2020 to bring together worldwide experts in the study, research and development, therapy and treatment of future self knowledge.
Expertise is based on a holistic approach to the evaluation of predictive gene testing and the effects of nature, nurture and other unrelated effects (christened ‘neither’) on the behaviour, development and lifestyle of individual human beings.
The second decade of the Third Millennium has seen a massive rise in the accessibility and application of predictive gene testing. The deterministic interpretation of results adopted by many practitioners has not always taken account of the probabilities associated with their conclusions. This has led to adverse decisions by Government and other authorities concerning the future of individuals affected. Those concerned have suffered negative financial, medical treatment and employment prospects.
This has caused a backlash among ordinary citizens. They have objected to the resulting marginalisation of, and discrimination against certain individual dispositions highlighted and penalised by such testing.
Civil Rights movements throughout the world, and in particular LIBERTY in the UK and GeneWatchUK have encouraged academics, scientists, medical practitioners and others to find alternative ways of improving future self knowledge
OPERATION
FATE is a quasi-scientific Institute combining scientific thinking and techniques with subjective and anecdotal evidence in the quest for improved techniques in developing future self knowledge.
Specialists from a variety of fields in Institutions such as the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, MIT, Tokyo, have been attracted to form three distinct research and development groups with therapy units attached.
-
The Nature Group focuses on self knowledge understanding arising from genetic factors, including predictive gene testing.
-
The Nurture Group focuses on self knowledge improvement through environmental, upbringing and lifestyle factors
-
The Neither Group draws on research from other non related groups including the lifecaching movement generated via Web 2.0. An individual’s trend history can be recorded, archived and then analysed in order to extrapolate and have a direct affect on the individual’s future trends by self fulfilling/perpetuating prophecy making.
