For ages, man tries to look into the future in order to have benefit. Soothsayers, oracles, crystal balls, sacrifices of animals and human beings, tea leaves, everything can be used to amplify our consciousness to the time dimensions of our universe. From our history lessons, we know the Oracle of Delphi and Nostradamus, but predictions are from all ages. Stock exchange guru's, astrologers, trend watchers and futurologists, honourable professions with honourable customers. Not only a look into one's own future is taken, but also in the future of the loved ones, the family, the company, IPO, the war which one wants to begin, the economy, you name it.

In a series of lectures, showing vision upon the future, Studium Generale tries to enable a view upon the future and upon the activities, dealing with predictions.
