Deadline: 2012

Why has Future Unincorporated set its sights on 2012?

Well, it seems that this deadline is important because it is unclear what will exist after November of this year.

PREDEVELOPMENT.

Step one: We have suggested that one important NYC neighborhood, 5th Avenue, relocate to Bushwick (Brooklyn), which is still affordable and 'rugged', though well connected to the rest of NYC.
Step two: Bushwick begins a cultural preparedness program to successfully foster a new era of high culture within uncertain financial and global conditions. This means you! Artists, workers, SUBMIT! Try on the new business casual-- it won't hurt!

Our reasoning...

The gossip around town: Mayan cosmology forecasts that the world capitalist system will begin its final collapse in November of 2007...SO MOVE TO BUSHWICK WHILE IT IS STILL 'UNDERGROUND'!
Because it seems that by 2012 all of Manhattan will be looking for cover in Bushwick...

"This is to offer some thoughts on the current American situation in the light of my recent readings on the Mayan calendar. It is popularly thought that the Mayan calendar of cosmic time comes to an end in 2012. It is sometimes surmised that nothing solid can be clearly known about life on earth beyond that fast approaching date. However, I read that the 2012 date marks the beginning of a new world of cosmic time. But not to leap ahead of ourselves, the Mayan cosmology forecasts that the world capitalist system will begin its final collapse in November of 2007."

"Here is our culture’s mythological winter experience. This is where the American capitalist dream-world collides with the cold heard granite of objective material reality. Debts become due, and organized systems of false consciousness become increasingly destabilized by the tectonic emergence of “reality.” Institutionalized denial of the real cosmic agenda that governs planetary evolution will shatter like a car driven by a drunk, colliding with a solid brick wall. Ouch, what fun!"
