The guiding image of the future

One of the basic theorems of the theory of the image is that it is the image that determines the behavior of any organism or organization. The image acts as a field and the behavior consists in gravitating toward the most highly valued part of the world.

-- Kenneth Boulding | ECONOMIST

“You must give birth to your images. They are the future waiting to be born. Fear not the strangeness you feel. The future must enter you long before it happens. Just wait for the birth, for the hour of new clarity.”�� - Rainer Maria Rike
