THE SIXTH WAVE

The Law of Invention
God teach the humans with their human’s languages as well. And the humans teach the other ones with their own various languages. If all of the God’s knowledge will inherit to the humans, so the humans will be devastated by themselves, because they won’t ever capable to accept and understand His Great Judgments. Never ever! Even if this whole Universe helps the humans to translate His indisputable lexis. The humans are never being as God, but sometimes, or many times, the humans like to play as God.
God teach to whom that He preferred, even to those non-believer ones. In fact, there’s a lot of the most eligible world scientists are atheist. They became atheist not because they’re scientists, nor vice versa. They’re just lost in space, in the middle of nowhere, with their many unanswered questions about their ephemeral Universe. They’ve asking about God, but they searching the answers in the erroneous ways.
There are so many basic inventions that inspiring another enhanced innovations. And there are also many inventions came unintentionally. Such as the discoveries of sharp stones, spears, arrows, leather clothes, fires, x-rays, Universal gravitation, etc.

Discovery comes in physical or non-physical substances. Or even in the form of predictions (the distant past or the future). Talking about predictions, I remember to someone who has name Alvin Toffler (born October 3rd, 1928), an American writer and futurist; known for his works discussing the digital revolution, communications revolution, corporate revolution and technological singularity. He has also been described in the “Financial Times” as the "world's most famous futurologist". Toffler has written about society, culture, the media, organizations, science, computers, politics, and economics.
Alvin Toffler and “The Third Wave”
(From many sources of literatures)
The central premise of Toffler's talk was that human history, while it is complex and contradictory, can be seen to fit patterns. The pattern he has been seeing in his career takes the shape of three great advances or waves. The first wave of transformation began when some prescient person about 10,000 years ago, probably a woman, planted a seed and nurtured its growth. The age of agriculture began, and its significance was that people moved away from nomadic wandering and hunting and began to cluster into villages and develop culture.
The second wave was an expression of machine muscle, the Industrial Revolution that began in the 18th century and gathered steam after America Japan
Many people share the sense that the traditional nuclear family of the '50s, with working father and stay-at-home mother, is the best defense against the wrong kinds of changes in a society. But is it reasonable to expect that everything else in society will change, but the family unit will undergo no change? Thus we have the proliferation of family types today: the re-marrieds, the adopteds, the blended family (ethnic groups, races, nationalities, religions, etc), the single-parent family, the same-sex (homo and lesbian) family, the zero-parent family, the non-marital family, the family of convenience, the virtual family, the never-see-the-face family, etc. “… is all in the family…”, said Jonathan Davis, a vocalist of KoRN.
Just as the machine seemed at its most invincible, however, we began to receive intimations of a gathering third wave, based not on muscle but on mind. It is what we variously call “the information age” or “the knowledge age”, and while it’s powerfully driven by information technology; it has co-drivers as well, among them social demands worldwide for greater freedom and individuation. The new intelligence will be all over the place on this Earth. It may mean courage, imagination, entrepreneurialism, warmth, organizational savvy, or street smarts. These are the kinds of brains that will thrive in the third wave. Reduction of intelligence to a bell curve is a toxic super-simplification of reality. The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.
In his book “The Third Wave”, Toffler describes three types of societies, based on the concept of 'waves' - each wave pushes the older societies and cultures aside.
· First Wave is the society after agrarian revolution and replaced the first hunter-gatherer cultures.
· The main components of the Second Wave society are nuclear family, factory-type education system and the corporation. Toffler writes: "The Second Wave Society is industrial and based on mass production, mass distribution, mass consumption, mass education, mass media, mass recreation, mass entertainment, and weapons of mass destruction. You combine those things with standardization, centralization, concentration, and synchronization, and you wind up with a style of organization we call bureaucracy."
· Third Wave is the post-industrial society. Toffler would also add that since late 1950s most countries are moving away from a Second Wave Society into what he would call a Third Wave Society. He coined lots of words to describe it and mentions names invented by other people, like the Information Age, which predicted demassification, diversity, knowledge-based production, and the acceleration of change (one of Toffler’s key maxims is "change is non-linear and can go backwards, forwards and sideways").
In this post-industrial society, there is a lot of diversity in lifestyles ("sub-cults"). Adhocracies (fluid organizations) adapt quickly to changes. Information can substitute most of the material resources and becomes the main material for workers (cognitarians instead of proletarians), who are loosely affiliated. Mass customization offers the possibility of cheap, personalized, production catering to small niches. The gap between producer and consumer is bridged by technology using a so called “configuration system”. "Prosumers" can fill their own needs (with open source, assembly kit, freelance work, etc). This was the notion that new technologies are enabling the radical fusion of the “producer” and “consumer” into the “prosumer” (producer-consumer). In some cases prosuming entails a “third job” where the corporation “outsources” its labor not to other countries, but to the unpaid consumer, such as when we do our own banking through an ATM instead of a teller that the bank must employ, or trace our own postal packages on the Internet instead of relying on a paid clerk. As the prosumers, we have a new set of responsibilities, to educate ourselves. We are no longer a passive market upon which industry dumps consumer goods, but a part of the process, pulling toward us the information and services that we design from our own imagination. In the third wave, the prosumer is always right.
Toffler, consulting with the Department of Defense, had doubts about such a hierarchical organization mustering the will to change itself. He took heart when he learned what the new motto among many in the military is: “Disagreement will not be treated as disloyalty”. It is a motto he recommends for organizations that think themselves much less hierarchical.
Ageing societies will be using new (medical) technologies from self-diagnosis to instant toilet urinalysis to self-administered therapies delivered by nanotechnology to do for themselves what doctors used to do. This will change the way the whole health industry works.
The development Toffler believes may go down as this era’s greatest turning point is the creation of wealth in outer space. Wealth today, he argues, is created everywhere (globalization), nowhere (cyberspace), and out there (outer space). Global Positioning Satellites (GPS) are the key to synchronizing precision time and data streams for everything from cell-phone calls to ATM withdrawals. They allow just-in-time productivity because of precise tracking. GPS is also becoming central to air-traffic control. And satellites increase agricultural productivity through tracking weather, enabling more accurate forecasts.
Two major predictions of Toffler's – “the paperless office” and “human cloning” - have yet to be realized, not due to technological barriers but to sociological and politico-religious conditions. People still need the forests, and keep exploit them, to produce the massive numbers of paper (not to keep the ecosystem, but to keep monetizing them); while they can keep the records of their data in various hard drives (floppy disk, hard disk, USB, etc) and display them through various type of fixed or portable computers, they can also sending mail by electronic-mail (email), and sending fax with file to another computers, read and watch the news or other information by the electronic media (such as radio, television, the Internet, etc) instead of newspaper or books, and they can also buy or scan a barcode ticket via their own cell-phones. And some people didn’t need such as “paper-money” for making a transaction. And also, anything can be cloned (animals, plants, machines, data, virus, money, ‘orang-orangan sawah’, etc) as much as they want to be.
Centralized management made the world go round from the rise of the nation-state through World War II. In a simple system, a single individual could provide the wisdom and authority to guide a large enterprise. No one believes that anymore. The emphasis, since the 1970s at least, has been on decentralization, on delegation of authority and empowerment, on self-managing teams, on the leader-as-facilitator as opposed to the leader-as-God. Running a large enterprise from a hub on the basis of a single person's competence, Toffler said, is like a doctor making morning rounds and prescribing Valium for everybody. You can't doctor an entire economy, or even an entire organization, with one medicine anymore. In the demassified organization of today, one-size-fits-all doesn't cut it anymore. Diversity and change are the keys. Every leader should check for the novelty ratio on the organization's product offerings: how many are six months old or less versus five years old or more? The same can be applied to people: how many have arrived in the past six months, versus those who have been around five years or longer?
How old are the organization's existing managerial practices? When was the form you are now holding in your hand last changed? How might it be improved? In every company new ideas, new products, and new people are waiting to be born. The leader's task is to get them out and breathing, not to manipulate them.
“I think the main failure of culture is the failure of imagination. It's very hard to think outside the boxes - cultural box, institutional box, political box, religious box - that we are all, everyone of us, imprisoned in”, said Alvin Toffler to futurist Peter Schwartz, co-founder of the Global Business Network, when they discuss about “War and Anti-War”, the latest book written by Alvin Toffler, the old man who still “future shock” of this world until now.
Professor Madbush and “The Fourth and Fifth Wave” (F2-W)
(F2-W; read: Double “F”, Double You… F**K You & F**K You more!!!)
Late this past year, Professor Madbush spoke to me about the term of his “The Fourth Wave”. At this wave, the whole of the systems has been changed drastically against to this recent century mindset. What you have been thinking of “right” or “absolute” by now, will be fall out and become obsolete. And there will be no more domination between nations (also called the “No Domino-Nation” Wave), it’s about the nerds who will decree of this world(s). The world(s) - including the system, culture, society, civilization, etc - will be powered by those nerds, and there will be only two kinds of nerds; the good nerds (a few), and the evil nerds (the most). The nerds won't come to appears with their old-fashioned wide and thick cylinder eye-glasses anymore in this wave; but they’ll evolve to being handsome, the richest, and womanizer ones. And there will be the battle between the nerds, the Invincible and Invisible Battle or the Invincible and Invisible War (I2B; read: “eyed to be”… or I2W: “eyes to watch”… the watchers above of all), or the Never-Ending War (NEW kinds of wars). And the rest are just a common followers or being statistically who will driven by less or no choice. “There’s no God but those Nerds”, maybe that’s what they’ll declare. No one will believe on the term of democracy, or the power of the mass-statistics, anymore. No one will speak loudly than the nerds.
Almost everything is “invisible”, only the cognizant individuals who could enable to read and describe “the codes” which spreads all over the place on this Earth and the outer space. Such as like Neo, in Matrix Trilogy movies, who could see the binary codes spreads all over the Matrix world, and none of the ordinary human could see its. A kind of personification for simplifying illustrates those complex situations here analogously. There will also the unique “master-key” or “key-maker” definition to open such of “gateway”. Not only to those encrypted routers or Host Security Modules (HSMs) devices, or any other else devices, but also including to the trends of civilization encrypted codes.
“Even though the American will have leaded by a geek woman (or women), but unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), the men are still the ones who have ‘balls’ rather than the women in the most of cases. Coz each ladies only have a ‘little nut’, and being ‘nuttered’ (or ‘neutered’) since the beginning”, said Professor Madbush to me. And the nerds will have the "bigger balls" than any ordinary men at this Fourth Wave. And anyone who won’t listen to those nerds will get sink and extinct (so called the Sink-Tinct Wave, because everybody get “sinting” on their minds).
There will be also no more domination between “the Haves” above “the Have Nots”. The money and “those expensive gadgets” won’t force their brain sufficiently anymore. At many particular cases, those fools are just still dumb. There will be a lot of number of vast-resources countries become into the poorer countries, so ironically. The physical of money become the myth. Everybody trades on their credits; and the more powerful of their minds, so the more powerful of their credits. And a few of them will have an “unlimited” credit because of their legacy to the world(s) civilization. They will live forever as the “embedded-systems”, “holograms”, and/or as the other records (not only such as those primeval blogs, websites, or something like that... but it seem the enlightenment, illumination, or revolution will most probably start from the virtual world).
Children will be “separated and protected” by the government’s regulation among “the dummy” and “the shrewd”. The shrewd will have the best education they wanted to be, as long as they’ve fighting for it, and they will be supported and educated by the foster-shrewd-parents or by the foster-shrewd-government(s) as well. No matter kinds of the kids come from (ethnics, races, nationality, believer, non-believer, etc). And the dummy will be let with no future and forgotten. That’s a new kind of natural selection, or the survival of the fittest. There will be an enormous gap or disparity amongst “the God-like” and “the Human-like” on the mankind at this wave.
The distant between the fourth wave and the fifth wave is closely nearby, since the system developments are extremely increasing, as the great exponential stream, or being change so radically for each period of time. There will be the massive development and the massive destruction on any kinds of material or non-material substances, through only a few of the decades or centuries. They’ll modify and enhance any system that they think they could modify and enhance it. They’ll like to play with the Universe’s system, and that’s a very dangerous game, and no one could restrain those overflows. They will start to challenge God, an enigmatic divine substance which never shows His appearance. They’ll like to play as God, because they’ve think that they’re God of themselves. That’s why Professor Madbush called “F**K You & F**K You more!!!” waves, named to the both of these waves. Most of the people will get doomed in the fourth wave, and all of the entire systems of this humanoid Universe will get doomed in the fifth wave. And the fifth wave is “the doomsday” wave. “Massive destruction will happen everywhere because of what they did themselves”, this warning sign has been well-versed since hundreds years ago.
We didn’t talk about the latest century or the next one, but far and far away after that. Think longer, longer, and longer. When the humans live on this Earth, they exploit and destroy here-and-there. When the humans could live on those planets, do you expect they would take care of them? No chance. Without beating around the bush, when they could travelling a lot of outer spaces, they’ll “shitting” here-and-there at every place or hole in their voyage. Those things are so humans, or let we say “animal-humans” actually.
Conquest and exploit will happen everywhere. They’ll do labeling and claiming (also re-labeling and re-claiming) the spaces, just as exactly like when the European have did it to the new continent which called America, a few centuries ago. The history will repeat itself, again and again, but in more and more dangerous ways. And they’ll shitting more, and more, and more, etc. Just need one crazy guy to push “that button”, and then like a domino effect… boom… finish… kaput… nothing left but those demolishes. Just like that… zap… so quick like a blink of the eyes. There will be no physical-species still alive after this bang, including the insects and bacteria.
The Sixth Wave
(The brief premises but the wave will takes forever)
Now we have quite illustrate what is the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth wave respectively. The next question left here is, what’s the sixth wave? The sixth wave is the final of the whole of those waves. God has started the Universe within the first (or the second?) of six waves, and closing it with the second (or the third?) of another six waves.
Professor Madbush prefer called it into the term of the 666 wave; even he still didn’t know the other of six waves; before the genesis wave (the life-before-life wave), or after the judgment wave (the life-after-death wave)? There are so many confusing waves for him at this moment. Nevermind, don’t think so seriously about him anyway, he has come far away to my place from indistinguishably parallel world(s), come from through his Global 6ixth Generation (G6G) multi-dimensional teleport system, also being called: the 666 simple-portable-buttons, provided by Messiah Technology Co. Ltd.
Yet, the sixth wave here is the life-after-death wave, the judgment-day wave. A wave which only God who knows the whole part of the stories. And this sixth wave has been “predicted” by His prophets since the millenniums ago - or God has told about the waves to anyone He preferred - through His Holy-Ayat, through the human’s languages (see the contents of the subtitle of “The Law of Invention” above).
