They are Time Travellers, literally walking around in past civilizations.

THE OUT-CASTES
by Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert was the greatest writer of the 20th century, and, in the opinion of many, the most intelligent writer born on planet Earth.

Herbert was the first author to write convincingly with predictive accuracy about Higher Intelligence.  His books, written in the primitive savagery of the mid 20th century, were peopled by advanced mutants, Superior intellects.  It is of interest that the wisest and smartest of his futique heroes were women.

Herbert was, along with Walt Disney and Luther Burbank, a fully developed Stage 20 Neurogenetic brain.  His descriptions of the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood, executing gene-pool designs over centuries, is the most impressive and uncanny prediction of a future which was nine mutations ahead of the society he inhabited in the 1960's.

In pre-selected human beings, from each gene-pool, neural circuits have been activated (usually without their awareness) which are designed to fabricate future realities.  Future gene-pools.

These individuals are genetically templated to live much of the time in the future.  They are, to this extent, alienated from current hive realities.

Some agents who are unaware of their genetic assignment feel agonizingly out of step.  Some are shunned and even locked up by the gene-pools they serve.

Those who are lucky enough to recognize their post-human genetic caste attain a level of great prescience and humorous insight.  They understand that they are Time Travelers, literally walking around in past civilizations.  A most entertaining and effective role to play.  While they have little power to change the ripples of history or the waves of evolution -- they can surf them with increasing skill.

Such evolutionary agents are best described as OUT-CASTES.  They are cast out, thrown forward, pushed up, above and beyond, contemporary hive realities.

As evolution accelerates there are more and more Evolutionary Agents emerging.  In the 1960's it was probably true that every gene-pool cast out its futique agents.  We are now learning to identify these OUT-CASTES and benefit from their contribution to the species.

TO: Genetic Intelligence Agency

FROM: Agent I2 at Terra I, Sol-3, Com-Species approaching Stage 13.

AGENT:  The emergence of Hedonic Self-oriented Consumerism as Dom-Species is now projected for 1976, local time.

CENTRAL:  Well done.

AGENT:  What's next?

CENTRAL:  Your next mission is to popularize Space Migration from the Womb Planet.  The Network you will join is becoming visible.

AGENT:  I assume that I'm to take an In-sanity, Re-Creation Leave until the next move?

CENTRAL:  S'i vous plait.

AGENT:  How do I get from Switzerland back to the Sun Belt?

CENTRAL:  The style you use in provoking your kidnapping, and re-immigration is your own neurological style-choice.  The hive will figure out some way to bring you back.  We'll watch with amusement.

WINTER 1977
TUCSON LECTURE
"IT'S LEGAL TO S.M.I2.L.E. AGAIN"

I'm very happy to be free to be here tonight (applause).  Had a slight delay getting here, like seven years.  I got involved in a little contest in the 1960's.  A minor thing, just a simple Genetic Super-bowl competition for the consciousness of a small planet.  East versus West.  Past versus Future.  Washington Senators versus the California Angels.  As High Scorer for the Angels I got put in the penalty box for four years.  (Laughter)

Since my release in April, 1976, I've traveled extensively around the country checking on the intelligence quotient of America.  I've a few hot items to report back to you.  Number one, there's a Good Feeling running rampant in this country.  My informants report a feeling of gentleness, an expectation of change, an hedonic hope reminiscent in many ways of those tender years in the early sixties.  You know, just five years ago if you smiled a lot you were in danger of being busted on suspicion.  Today it is legal, my fellow Americans, to smile once again (Applause)

The prohibition against New Ideas has been repealed so I think we can get together here tonight and see what further agitation we can stir up. 

Here's the second item.  My Intelligence Agents report that this country has been taken over by successful Heads of the sixties.  (Applause)  The articulate young women and men who ten years ago were forced by our government into positions of dissent and protest have dropped back in.  Today, they are managing, directing and taking responsibility for affairs in this country.  This bloodless coup, this  quiet revolution is no surprise.  The 70's have developed just as we hoped and planned.  The giant Neuropolitical Experiment started at Harvard in 1960 was a success!  From Cambridge and Millbrook headquarters our intelligence operatives charted the genetic flow of history and predicted, in 1968, a temporary ebb-tide reaction to the incredible explosion of neurological activation that occurred in the sixties.  I remember very clearly in 1968 when we punched into our Out-Caste computer the Gallup finding that 75% of Harvard law students were smoking grass. (Applause)  The computer read out the prediction:  "Your legal problems will be over in ten years."  (Laughter)

There were other predictive statistics from that period.  The same Gallup poll reported that 75% of pre-medical students were smoking grass.  Thus, we now have a new generation of young doctors sensitized to the beauty of childbirth; physicians who understand that pregnancy is not a disease to be terminated by an obstetrical operation.  Similar changes are transforming other professions.  Even the dismal/exciting trade of law enforcement is being taken over by young women and men who lived through the explosive sixties and cultivated a new sense of human relativity.  We have a new breed of turned-on cops.  (Applause and laughter)  The 1968 Gallup poll also reported that 65% of the science and engineering students at MIT, Cal-tech, and RPI were smoking grass.  Thus, for the first time, we have a new generation of young scientists who have experienced in their own nervous systems the genetic, biological and physical energies they study in the laboratories.
