FATE INSTITUTE / CONTENTS
WWW.FATE INSTITUTE.ORG
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.

>An evaluation over time of what affects the patient on a day by day, month by month basis, as a predictor of future trends in the individual’s behaviour.
>Each day, week and month contains a set of questions entered into a normal type diary to be answered on a tick box basis. The results of these questions are uploaded by OCR techniques into the Institute’s computer at monthly visits by the patient.
>The results are analysed by the Doctor and fed back to the patient by consultation, comparing the clients weekly/monthly update by time series analysis, identifying historical trends and pointers for the future.
