Asymetric Language Trend Analysis

If you haven't found these fellows yet, do yourself a favor and take a good look. That can only be done by subscribing to the reports they offer. I've been subscribing for a year - my conclusion is that the reports are amazingly accurate.

With so many changes coming at us so fast and furiously I've enjoyed the added perspective the reports offer.

Their description of what they do:
Here at Half Past Human we forecast the future.

We are not alone in forecasting the future, all humans do it to some degree. Just a quick search of the internet will provide dozens of forms of future forecasting. Some use astrology, some use other methods.

We employ a technique based on radical linguistics to reduce extracts from readings of dynamic postings on the internet into an archetypical database. With this database of archtypical language, we calculate the rate of change of the language. The forecasts of the future are derived from these calculations. Our calculations are based on a system of associations between words and numeric values for emotional responses from those words. These 'emotional impact indicators' are also of our own devising. They are attached to a data base of over 300/three hundred thousand words. This data base of linked words/phrases and emotions is our lexicon from which the future forecasting is derived.

We call our future viewing the ALTA reports for 'asymetric language trend analysis'. The ALTA reports are available by subscription.

More than 30 years after elements of the U.S. military and intelligence community began research into unusual "psychic" projects being conducted by the government of the former Soviet Union, we may be seeing interesting results emerging.

When looking at anomalous phenomena like the ESP "remote viewing" techniques developed and used by U.S. military and intelligence personnel (later called "Project STARGATE") as well as other unusual developments, it can be useful to consider that in 2008 the unconventional can be integrated with conventional thinking and human activities.
