Future Intelligence Agency (FIA): Definition Practically, Future Intelligence Agency is an intelligence agency selling research, strategic consulting, future forecasting and psychologically oriented insights into future cultural conditions. The research institute will comprise of a broad mix of gender balanced ruthlessly curios non-partisan researchers conducting psychologically inspired applied research on cultural complexes within significant events found in business and in culture at large. The research institute will be actively engaged in advocacy in multiple arenas, including practical, strategic foresight for businesses, governmental social policy, political strategy, and science and technology issues. In addition the institute will research the complexes behind intergroup conflict, interstate and internecine warfare, and investigate rising global aggression, violence and terrorism. As such, theFuture Intelligence Agency may be regarded as a liberatory and progressive psychologically oriented intelligence agency that is at the forefront of imagining future narratives. Future Intelligence Agency is a for-profit organization that will derive its income from strategic consulting and research projects related to its mandate. Future Intelligence Agency focuses on the ruthless interrogation of global businesses, culture and society with a particular emphasis on significant events that impact the fate of individual businesses nations, cultural directions, theologies and ideologies. Future Intelligence Agency produces monthly analysis on psychological cultural complexes inherent within critical and significant global events, and yearly, produces a major report that synthesizes together the collected wisdom gleaned from the monthly analysis. These reports as future histories will in essence be stories about stories, because they will identify the psychological complexes and competitions that exist between closely held conflicting stories. Future Intelligence Agency which uses Cultural Futuristics’ future histories, as healing medicine stories delivers fresh perspectives and tolerance for multiple perspectives because a psychologically astute and pluralistic civilization can only be built with the knowledge that as a human species we are the indefatigable master creators of all culture, myths, values, beliefs, theories, models, moral constructions, laws and religions. To know, that we are indeed, creators of such things need not destroy our respect for humanity, nor our respect, even reverence for the critical events that we have created. In addition to the monthly and yearly stories/reports Future Intelligence Agency produces, the unconscious psychological complexes revealed by the monthly research is categorized and collected into a sophisticated database. Eventually this online database will become the foundation for the publication of a Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Cultural Disorders (DSMCD). Over the years this information will become more and more dense with information concerning the hidden unconscious interiority of cultural events and thus, a valuable computer modeling tool that enhances, and streamlines the operational use of CulturalFuturistics and the writing of future histories.
