I.
Cultural Foresight
Cultural Foresight uses culture as a guide for the future. Culture is understood as a kind of first artificial intelligence that shapes our knowledge and behavior. It is about assessing and understanding cultural influences and imprints. How does culture change? How does culture change us?
While strategic foresight often remains within market research, Cultural Foresight relies on a set of cultural studies and philosophical methods and anthropological insights. Cultural Foresight focuses on how brands and companies can create cultural significance, rather than solely looking at market opportunities.
The approach aims not only to develop product-driven innovations but also to create culturally anchored growth strategies.
II.
Progressive Anticipation
Progressive anticipation is a method of foresight interested in the truth. It interprets future events or outcomes based on careful investigation and pattern recognition within vertical layers of cultural information. This not only enables better responses when needed but also allows for the active shaping of a preferred future.

Moral Realism
Pessimism → Realism
Pessimism often arises from an anti-realist constructivism. We frequently construct so-called fake news in our minds based on the information surrounding us, foreign speculations, and reductionist situations. This is not constructive. These narratives are not facts, and they impact us. They create cognitive dissonance and quickly make us perceive things more pessimistically. It helps to acknowledge the complexity of our reality and make the effort to recognize and recreate the truth. It becomes tricky when fictional thoughts are also counted as reality. Fiction is real but not necessarily true.
Relativism → Objectivism
Quite evidently, in our daily discussions and debates, we frequently argue in a relativizing manner by attempting to soften moral stances through comparisons or contextualizations. Whataboutism is pervasive in our communication culture and is manifested in the constant tendency to point to other grievances instead of dealing with the actual issue at hand. There exists no rational or philosophically defensible reason to deny or relativize objectively moral facts merely to justify a particular action or position.
Nihilism → Universalism
People owe each other a great deal simply because we are human. The fundamental values, dignity, and mutual recognition as moral beings make us who we are. This responsibility towards each other is deeply rooted in our humanity and cannot simply be ignored or abandoned. Moral nihilism creates a fatalism that we cannot afford, as it undermines the foundations of our communal coexistence and our ethical obligations. Therefore, I practice a humanistic universalism and say ...
