BLUF: Clif High has developed computer-assisted reading technology that allows for reading up to 2000 words per minute, and has been working on a software project since 1997 to predict future events by capturing language patterns within internet discussions and using radical linguistic techniques to assign emotional values to complex content. The project has accurately predicted events such as the anthrax attack in Washington and the Northeast Power outage.
Clif High is a pioneer in computer-assisted reading technology, with a patent enabling reading up to 2000 words per minute.

Using radical linguistic techniques to assign emotional values to complex content, this project has predicted major life-changing events such as the anthrax attack in Washington and the Northeast Power outage. High’s work offers an archetype descriptor of future events, with reports extracted from the project data available at www.halfpasthuman.com.Source…
