This is a bold dec­la­ra­tion, do you agree?

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.
