3. FATE INSTITUTE / MANIFESTO
The Futures Association for Therapy and Entertainment,
founded by private endowment, is a quasi-scientific
Institute which applies an holistic approach to
developing techniques of future self-knowledge.
In 2020 there has been 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 discrimination
against certain individual dispositions highlighted
and penalised by such testing. Civil Rights movements
throughout the world, and in particular Liberty
and GeneWatchUK have encouraged academics,
futurologists, medical practitioners and others to find
alternative ways of improving future self-knowledge.

>The Delphi Party has 5 party rules
that the family stake holders are asked
to follow. The facilitator then guides the
family experts through a number of tasks
within a particular time frame.
>Each expert has opinion on all aspects
of Jeremy’s life but discuss this amongst
the group to arrive at a set of conclusions
for each task. Responses are recorded
and quantified, concluding with an
independent interpretation of Jeremy’s
future life.
