Art is perhaps one of the most strongest ways of communication, in art we recreate an experience within ourselves that is as strong as the experience of the artist. The artist creates an experience which is basically an attempt to reach the highest level of innerhuman experience which combines sensing, intuition, feeling, thinking and reflecting in a fluid presence experience. In art we see how interchangeable we are deep inside us. The artist tries to make an entity which is so strong that this piece of art will impose the way it will be judged by us on us, it creates its own sphere of judgements.

Art is a way to transcend all contexts, meta contextual human communication is the source in which we find basic human values and ways of human experience.

In our search for new sustainable social technospheres we need art as an innovationspace as such.

Walking in the hallucinating nature of the Albera I experienced the sublime in the way Gary Zukav felt the quantum radiation of the plants communicating with him. Reading about Buddhism and the retreat from the consumers society towards nature, gave me a strong point for enhancing the sublime nature experience. This is a way of experiencing your body and soul in a complete aesthetic form, leading to a radical transformation of the soul and body to higher levels.

People are constantly asking the question, why should I practice philosophy? There are two types of philosophers.

Those who make simple life experiences immensely complex or even incomprehensible; only clear for them. They are constructing abstraction of abstraction in their own closed mind. They ask us to follow their strict individual mind tour. This sort of philosophy is like art: it is esthetical enjoyable, although not for all.

There are also philosophers who can make complex life experiences understandable, they give clarifications which can help you grasp your own life better. This is so useful that it should be done by everybody. These philosophers help you to start thinking fundamental about your own life. This is a human competence, if you do not do this you miss the whole point of living a human life.

In this pdf file different philosophical approaches of future scenarios are demonstrated:evolutionary, catastrophic and transformational.

We cannot predict the future because of ignorance, surprise and volition.

We can make different scenarios to anticipate different possible worlds. We can distinguish conventional worlds, barbarization and great transitions.
