Introduction

José Millán’s Astrology for the New World Order is not a public policy book in the conventional sense. It does not present a government program, a fiscal memorandum, impact indicators, technology readiness levels, or an administrative implementation schedule. Its structure is prospective. Millán combines mundane astrology, historical interpretation, technological observation, and social analysis to describe which structures he considers exhausted and which political, economic, scientific, and technological arrangements could replace them.

A rigorous reading therefore requires distinguishing three different levels.

First, there are proposals or transformations explicitly mentioned in the book, such as international treaties governing cyberwarfare, cryptocurrencies, central bank digital currencies, decentralized energy generation, vertical farming, minimum income schemes, political democratization, and new nuclear technologies.

Second, there are prospective scenarios, including the weakening of representative democracy, the partial disappearance of traditional financial intermediaries, network-based organizations, generalized automation, and new family structures.

Third, some measures, such as sovereign debt amortization funds, explicit tax incentives for higher birth rates, or specialized public agencies for deepfake detection, represent an institutional translation of problems identified by Millán, but are not literally formulated by him. This distinction is important in order not to attribute policies to the book that it does not explicitly propose.

The underlying argument is that the systems developed over the last two centuries are being subjected to an extraordinary combination of pressures: wealth concentration, public and private debt, labor precarity, demographic aging, environmental crisis, automation, artificial intelligence, declining trust in institutions, geopolitical conflict, migration, disinformation, and increasing technological vulnerability.

Millán contrasts older vertical, pyramidal, and centralized structures with a hypothetical future that is more distributed, networked, technological, cooperative, and decentralized.

From this perspective, the book can be reinterpreted as an extensive agenda for institutional innovation.

1. From the Vertical State to the Network State

One of the most consistent themes in the book is decentralization.

The old model is described as being built around pyramidal organizations: nation-states, hierarchical public administrations, centralized corporations, vertical political parties, and economic systems in which information moves slowly from the top downward.

The emerging model, according to Millán, would favor horizontal structures in which individuals, communities, and organizations communicate directly.

This leads to a first innovative policy: the decentralization of public administration and decision-making centers. This does not necessarily imply the disappearance of the state. Rather, it suggests redistributing functions toward territories, communities, professional networks, and specialized organizations.

Closely related is the transition from representative democracy toward more participatory forms of democracy. Millán argues that representative systems may increasingly be perceived as instruments of oligarchic interests when political and economic power becomes excessively concentrated.

The alternative would involve greater direct citizen participation in public decision-making.

Another particularly innovative idea is the network state. The book imagines political organizations that are no longer entirely dependent on physical territory. Traditional nation-based structures could be partially supplemented by cyberspaces or virtual communities organized around shared ideas, interests, knowledge, or projects.

A single individual could belong simultaneously to several such communities.

In contemporary public policy terms, this points toward digital government, multilevel governance, transnational communities, digital identity systems, and distributed political organizations.

The book also anticipates a redistribution of power from strictly hereditary elites toward elites based, at least ideally, on knowledge, merit, technical capability, or social contribution.

Millán contrasts “extractive” elites with more distributive forms of leadership.

Within the same transformation, he also anticipates the gradual weakening of hereditary structures such as monarchies and other traditional forms of authority.

2. Cybersecurity: The Emergence of a New Defense Policy

One of the most relevant dimensions of the book for contemporary policy analysis is its treatment of the transformation of warfare.

Millán argues that traditional concepts of borders, territory, and armed conflict will have to be reconsidered. Conflict will increasingly move from physical territory into cyberspace, the air domain, and outer space.

Weapons will no longer consist only of soldiers, tanks, missiles, or aircraft. They will also include computer viruses, drones, communications interference, information manipulation, fake news, and attacks against digital infrastructure.

The most explicit policy consequence is remarkably concrete: international treaties governing cyberwarfare will be necessary.

Millán draws an analogy with traditional non-aggression treaties and argues that new digital capabilities will require a dedicated international legal framework.

Several policies follow from this concept.

First, states could develop an international cyber non-aggression treaty. Such an agreement would define critical infrastructure that should remain protected even during conflict, including hospitals, power grids, water systems, financial networks, civilian navigation, emergency communications, and energy facilities.

Second, governments could establish an international cyberweapons control regime. Just as international law regulates chemical, nuclear, and biological weapons, states could define limits on the development, stockpiling, and deployment of certain offensive cyber capabilities.

Third, states would require international cyberattack attribution protocols. One of the central challenges of cyber conflict is identifying the real actor behind an attack. Without credible technical and legal attribution mechanisms, the risk of mistaken retaliation and interstate escalation increases substantially.

Fourth, governments could establish multilateral digital de-escalation mechanisms, comparable to diplomatic hotlines used during military crises.

Fifth, there is the need for comprehensive protection of critical infrastructure.

If financial networks, electricity systems, telecommunications, data centers, transportation, and public services depend on software, cybersecurity becomes a core component of national security rather than a narrow information technology issue.

The book explicitly anticipates attacks against communication networks, databases, and other critical infrastructure nodes.

This would require backup architectures, national cybersecurity operations centers, network redundancy, attack simulations, offline storage, disaster recovery systems, and mandatory cybersecurity standards for essential infrastructure operators.

3. Cyberterrorism and New Forms of Organized Threats

Millán also argues that terrorist organizations will not remain unchanged.

They could evolve toward forms of cyberterrorism, using the internet, digital communications, social networks, cyber sabotage, and mass manipulation campaigns.

Traditional counterterrorism policy, focused on borders, physical weapons, financial movements, and the movement of individuals, would therefore need a much stronger technological component.

This creates a need for digital threat-monitoring policies, analysis of online radicalization networks, monitoring of technology-based financing, international cooperation among cyber intelligence units, and critical infrastructure protection against non-state actors.

A further difficulty is that relatively small organizations may generate disproportionately large effects.

They do not need conventional armies if they can interrupt a financial system, compromise an electricity grid, or manipulate communications infrastructure.

Security policy therefore shifts from protecting territory toward ensuring systemic resilience.

4. Disinformation as a National Security Problem

Another emerging field is information security.

Millán describes a future in which information manipulation, rumors, coordinated disinformation, and technologically fabricated content become genuine instruments of power.

Public policy would therefore require systems capable of detecting coordinated influence operations, identifying artificial networks, cooperating with digital platforms, and distinguishing legitimate political expression from organized manipulation campaigns.

The expansion of deepfakes also creates a need for digital authenticity infrastructure.

Governments, financial institutions, media organizations, companies, and citizens will increasingly need to verify whether a voice, image, video, document, or digital instruction genuinely originates from the claimed source.

Potential policies include secure digital identity, cryptographic signing of official content, authenticated government communications, audiovisual manipulation detection, and standards for document certification.

The logic of Millán’s analysis even allows for the possibility of a future public digital authenticity infrastructure, analogous to today’s electronic certificate systems.

5. Protection Against Algorithmic Manipulation

Millán identifies another major risk: the ability of digital technologies to continuously monitor individual behavior.

He refers to the accumulation of information about movements, purchases, preferences, and tastes, and to the possibility of increasingly sophisticated forms of social control.

The policy response would be a genuine framework of personal data sovereignty.

Citizens would need greater control over who collects their data, for what purpose, for how long, through which algorithms, and whether the information may be sold or transferred.

This suggests policies involving data minimization, portability rights, algorithmic explanation, limits on mass profiling, and prohibitions on certain forms of personalized behavioral manipulation.

High-impact algorithms used in credit, recruitment, insurance, public services, policing, or government administration would also require independent auditing.

6. Artificial Intelligence as General Purpose Infrastructure

For Millán, artificial intelligence is not simply another technology sector. It is an infrastructure capable of transforming the entire economy.

The book explicitly refers to the emergence of ChatGPT as evidence of the speed of this transformation and argues that generative AI could rapidly spread across numerous sectors.

The first major policy implication would be a national artificial intelligence strategy focused not only on consuming AI tools but also on developing domestic capabilities.

This would include research programs, computing infrastructure, specialist training, data centers, access to advanced models for businesses, and AI adoption programs for small and medium-sized enterprises.

A second policy would use AI to increase industrial and administrative productivity.

A third area involves AI for scientific research, including large-scale data analysis, hypothesis generation, materials discovery, computational medicine, and scientific modeling.

A fourth policy area is AI in recruitment and workforce organization. The book anticipates that processes currently managed by human resources departments could increasingly be performed by artificial intelligence systems.

This, in turn, requires protections against algorithmic discrimination and the right to meaningful human review.

7. Artificial Intelligence Governance

The challenge is not only developing artificial intelligence. Governments must also decide what AI systems should be allowed to do.

A governance framework could rest on four principles: human oversight, clear accountability, transparency, and impact assessment.

Policy makers would need to determine which decisions may be fully automated and which should require human authorization.

Legal responsibility would have to be assigned when automated systems cause harm.

High-impact systems used in essential services would require independent audits.

Individual autonomy would also need protection from technologies specifically designed to manipulate behavior.

8. Quantum Computing and Technological Convergence

The book gives importance to quantum computing and, more broadly, to the interaction among emerging technologies.

Rather than imagining isolated innovations, Millán describes a process of technological convergence involving artificial intelligence, quantum computing, advanced telecommunications, biotechnology, and new materials.

From an R&D and innovation policy perspective, this favors multidisciplinary research programs rather than scientific systems divided into rigid disciplinary silos.

Quantum computing could have applications in optimization, materials science, drug development, cryptography, and complex simulation.

The combination of AI and quantum computing could simultaneously produce significant opportunities and security risks, particularly for current cryptographic systems.

This leads logically to a policy of migration toward post-quantum cryptography as part of national cybersecurity planning.

This specific policy is a technical extension of the technological convergence described in the book rather than a measure explicitly detailed by Millán.

9. Robotics and the New Industrial Model

Another major transformation concerns the progressive replacement of repetitive human labor by automated systems.

Millán refers to growing “machinization” across industry and the wider economy.

The corresponding industrial policy would promote robotics, intelligent automation, connected machinery, and digital manufacturing.

The transformation does not end with automation.

Mass production could increasingly give way to personalized production, with goods manufactured in shorter production runs and adapted to individual consumers through automated systems.

3D printing and additive manufacturing would become part of this architecture.

Industrial policy would therefore shift from supporting only large manufacturing plants toward developing distributed networks of advanced manufacturing capacity.

10. New Materials and Nanotechnology

The book anticipates advances in new materials, nanotechnology, and engineered substances designed for specific applications.

This would justify national materials science programs focused on batteries, construction, medicine, electronics, energy, and transportation.

Nanotechnology could become a horizontal enabling technology with biomedical, industrial, and energy applications.

Innovation policy would need to support shared laboratories, characterization facilities, technology transfer mechanisms, and science-based companies.

11. Telecommunications: 5G, 6G, and Hyperconnectivity

Millán anticipates a society characterized by near-continuous connectivity.

5G and 6G networks would connect not only smartphones, but also vehicles, machines, sensors, urban infrastructure, and artificial intelligence systems.

This implies a policy of universal advanced digital infrastructure.

Access to high-capacity networks would increasingly become functionally comparable to access to other essential infrastructures.

A second policy would involve the development of the Internet of Things, integrating sensors into industry, cities, agriculture, energy, and logistics.

A third would involve improving network security, because increased connectivity also expands the attack surface available to hostile actors.

12. Automated Translation and the Partial Removal of Language Barriers

Millán considers it possible that automatic translation and interpretation systems will substantially reduce linguistic barriers.

This could transform education, international trade, diplomacy, labor mobility, and scientific cooperation.

A coherent public policy response would be to develop open linguistic infrastructure, specialized models for minority languages, and translation systems for public services.

13. Virtual Reality and New Productive Spaces

Virtual reality and immersive digital environments form another dimension of the broader digital transition.

Work, education, entertainment, and economic relationships could increasingly take place in non-physical environments.

Public policy would therefore need to address interoperability, digital identity, digital property rights, consumer protection, and the security of virtual environments.

A new category of infrastructure could eventually emerge: public virtual spaces.

14. Open Source and Distributed Innovation

Another element compatible with Millán’s vision is the reduction of the power of large technology monopolies and the rise of more open networks.

Open source software can play a central role by allowing small companies, universities, and communities to reuse and develop technologies without depending entirely on dominant suppliers.

This points toward open innovation policies, procurement of interoperable public software, and support for open source ecosystems.

15. Reforming Technology Monopolies

Millán anticipates the weakening of currently dominant technology monopolies.

From a competition policy perspective, this could translate into platform regulation, mandatory interoperability, data portability, and structural separation of certain business activities.

The purpose would be to prevent a small number of companies from simultaneously controlling infrastructure, information, markets, advertising, and access to users.

16. Cryptocurrencies and the Parallel Economy

One of the most clearly developed financial innovations in the book is the emergence of a parallel cryptocurrency economy.

Millán acknowledges the limitations of early generations of cryptocurrencies, including speculation, volatility, technical problems, and environmental costs.

However, he anticipates a new generation of cryptocurrencies that are more technologically mature, stable, sustainable, and capable of functioning as actual media of exchange.

The corresponding innovation policy would create regulatory frameworks capable of distinguishing purely speculative assets from useful financial infrastructure.

Rules would also be required for custody, solvency, transparency, taxation, and fraud prevention.

17. Central Bank Digital Currencies

Millán also anticipates the development of central bank digital currencies, or CBDCs.

Significantly, he does not necessarily expect CBDCs to eliminate decentralized cryptocurrencies.

His scenario involves the long-term coexistence of official digital currencies and decentralized cryptocurrencies.

This amounts to a dual monetary model.

From an economic policy perspective, it raises major questions about privacy, traceability, banking intermediation, financial stability, and monetary control.

18. Digitalization of Payments

Physical cash would gradually lose importance as digital and mobile payments expand.

This transition would require resilient public payment infrastructure, interoperability between operators, and alternatives that prevent financial exclusion.

Contingency mechanisms would also be needed in the event of power outages or cyberattacks.

19. Transformation of Banking

Millán anticipates a major transformation of the banking sector, including new providers, new service models, and a possible reduction in the role of conventional banks.

From a regulatory perspective, this implies moving from a system focused exclusively on traditional banking institutions toward functional regulation of payments, credit, investment, and custody regardless of the type of provider.

Fintech competition and financial disintermediation would become central components of this transformation.

20. Public Debt Restructuring

One of the strongest financial propositions in the book is the possibility that public and private indebtedness could reach levels requiring a generalized debt write-down.

Millán explicitly suggests that restructuring could affect both governments and citizens.

This points toward extraordinary public debt sustainability policies.

However, it is important to distinguish between measures explicitly mentioned by the author and technical instruments that can be developed from his diagnosis.

The book discusses restructuring and debt reductions. It does not explicitly formulate a public debt amortization fund.

Based on the problem identified in the book, a technically coherent policy would be to establish debt amortization funds that accumulate resources during favorable periods, reduce future refinancing requirements, and stabilize the debt trajectory.

Governments could also adopt countercyclical fiscal rules that automatically direct exceptional revenues toward principal repayment.

These measures are public finance developments derived from the diagnosis rather than literal proposals by Millán.

21. Universal Coverage and Minimum Income

Within the same economic restructuring framework, the book explicitly refers to the possibility of broader acceptance of instruments such as universal health coverage and minimum income guarantees.

Their role would be to stabilize societies undergoing automation, prolonged economic disruption, and the disappearance of certain forms of employment.

Economically, they would function as protection against a technological transition whose costs and benefits are distributed very unevenly.

22. The State as an Economic Stabilizer During Systemic Crises

Millán anticipates significant public intervention during periods of persistent crisis.

Governments may need to intervene in food, energy, financial resources, and other essential sectors when normal market mechanisms are unable to guarantee material security.

This does not necessarily imply replacing markets.

Rather, it suggests stronger state functions in stabilization, strategic supply guarantees, and the protection of essential sectors.

23. Collective Capital Funds

Another important idea is that large pools of capital could be directed toward purposes whose ultimate beneficiary is society rather than private shareholders alone.

This resembles contemporary mechanisms such as impact investment funds, green sovereign funds, and blended finance for large social projects.

The book specifically identifies the energy transition, sustainable food production, inequality reduction, and climate change as potential beneficiaries.

24. Intellectual Property Reform

In a world where data, knowledge, and technology become central strategic resources, intellectual property gains even greater importance.

Millán anticipates growing conflict over who owns technologies and knowledge.

This could lead to policies balancing the rights of inventors with knowledge diffusion, compulsory licensing, open models, and new rules governing outputs generated by artificial intelligence.

25. Transition Toward an Advanced Service Economy

The traditional industrial model would lose relative importance compared with services, knowledge, innovation, and digital activities.

Economic policy would increasingly need to foster scientific, technical, professional, and creative capabilities.

Material production would continue, but it would become more automated and less labor-intensive.

26. Remote Work and Hybrid Organizations

Remote work appears not as a temporary anomaly but as a structural transformation.

Labor policy would need to update employment law, social security rules, taxation, occupational health standards, and digital rights for geographically distributed workers.

New rules would also be needed regarding employee surveillance, the right to disconnect, and algorithmic management.

27. Skills-Based Recruitment and Digital Credentials

Millán anticipates that personal connections and closed corporate career systems may lose importance relative to professional profiles, verified capabilities, and digital credentials.

This favors modular qualifications, skills certification, and continuous recognition of professional competencies.

Education policy would therefore increasingly move toward lifelong learning.

28. The Demographic Winter as a Strategic Challenge

Population aging represents another major structural challenge identified in the book.

Millán describes a prolonged decline in birth rates across developed societies and refers to a “demographic winter.”

Demographic policy would therefore move from the margins of government planning toward the center of economic strategy.

Fewer births imply a smaller future workforce, greater pressure on pension systems, fewer young consumers, and increasing healthcare requirements.

29. Pro-Natality Programs

The book diagnoses the birth-rate problem, but it does not provide a detailed policy package.

If its demographic diagnosis is translated into public policy, coherent measures could include direct child benefits, tax deductions, family housing programs, universal early childhood services, and support for fertility treatments.

These specific instruments should be understood as a public policy development of Millán’s demographic diagnosis rather than as a literal list from the book.

30. Work-Family Reconciliation

A serious pro-natality strategy cannot rely exclusively on financial transfers.

If incompatibility between professional careers and child-rearing contributes to falling birth rates, governments would need to strengthen parental leave, flexible employment arrangements, and childcare services.

Again, this policy follows logically from the demographic problem identified in the book.

31. Public Care Infrastructure

Childcare, early childhood education, home care, and family services increasingly become part of economic infrastructure.

Demographic policy and care policy therefore become inseparable.

32. Pension Reform

Population aging requires reconsideration of retirement systems.

Millán anticipates a redefinition of work and retirement age in societies with fewer young people.

Potential policies include flexible retirement, combining pensions with employment, continuing education for older workers, and skills updating throughout later life.

33. Flexible Extension of Working Life

The rigid separation between education, employment, and retirement could gradually weaken.

Individuals may learn, work, pause, retrain, and return to productive activity at different stages of life.

This requires lifelong education systems rather than one-time front-loaded education.

34. Migration as a Demographic Variable

Millán recognizes that migration will become particularly important for aging countries and that traditional controls may prove insufficient in the face of major demographic disparities between regions.

Future migration policy would therefore need to incorporate long-term labor planning, integration, housing, education, and demographic requirements.

35. Renewable Energy as a New Energy System

The transition away from fossil fuels is another major axis of the book.

Millán explicitly refers to solar, wind, and other renewable energy sources.

Energy policy would seek to reduce dependence on oil while increasing distributed generation.

36. Energy Decentralization

Potentially more innovative than the specific energy source is the transformation of the economic structure of energy.

Millán imagines communities, cities, and even households producing an increasing share of their own electricity.

This could reduce the power of highly centralized energy monopolies.

Energy policy would therefore support self-generation, energy communities, local storage, and smart grids.

37. Hydrogen

Hydrogen appears as one of the potentially important energy vectors in the emerging economy.

It could be used in industry, heavy transportation, and long-duration storage.

Its development would require infrastructure for production, transportation, storage, and safety standards.

38. Advanced Nuclear Technologies

Millán considers small nuclear installations based on alternative technologies and refers to fuels or systems different from conventional large-reactor designs.

This can be associated with small modular reactors and advanced nuclear research programs.

39. Nuclear Fusion

Fusion appears as another possible high-density energy source.

Its public policy relevance is primarily as a long-term R&D program.

40. Advanced Geothermal Energy

The book refers to drilling techniques capable of accessing terrestrial heat more effectively.

The innovation lies not only in the energy source but also in the engineering technologies that make previously inaccessible resources usable.

41. Energy Storage

A renewable energy economy requires large-scale energy storage.

Batteries, electrochemical systems, and other storage technologies would become essential to grid stability.

42. Electric Vehicles

Electric mobility forms part of the progressive replacement of oil-based transportation.

The book refers to investment in associated infrastructure, including charging stations and battery production.

43. Charging Infrastructure

Infrastructure is as important as the vehicle itself.

A successful electrification policy requires charging networks, common technical standards, and stronger electricity grids.

44. Climate Change Adaptation

Millán considers it insufficient to treat climate change as an isolated environmental issue.

Its consequences affect agriculture, migration, energy, cities, infrastructure, and security.

Climate adaptation should therefore be incorporated across urban planning, economic strategy, infrastructure policy, and territorial development.

45. Vertical Farming

Vertical agriculture appears as a method for producing food with less land while moving production closer to urban centers.

It becomes particularly relevant under conditions of climatic and logistical pressure.

46. Permaculture

Millán refers to permaculture as an alternative to highly intensive agricultural models.

Its objective is to design productive systems that operate more closely with ecological processes.

47. Organic Agriculture

Reducing chemical inputs and adopting less environmentally damaging techniques form part of the broader agricultural transformation.

48. Reducing Pesticide Dependence

Agricultural innovation would need to reduce dependence on polluting chemicals.

This requires research into biological control, resistant varieties, and precision agriculture.

49. Water Efficiency

Water security becomes inseparable from food security.

Efficient irrigation, water reuse, monitoring, and digital water-management technologies gain strategic importance.

50. Agricultural Robotics

Automation, sensors, drones, and intelligent systems can reduce resource use and adapt agricultural interventions to the real needs of crops.

51. Local Food Production

The book anticipates that small local solutions could produce global effects when they are replicated through networks.

Localized food production could reduce vulnerability to international logistics disruptions.

52. Alternative Proteins

Millán considers artificial or alternative proteins as a potential response to climate pressure and the environmental impact of conventional livestock production.

This opens a food technology agenda involving fermentation, plant proteins, and other alternative food systems.

53. Genetic Engineering

The book anticipates major expansion in genetic engineering.

In medicine, this could allow interventions targeting diseases at the genetic level.

In agriculture, it could support crop varieties adapted to new environmental conditions.

54. Gene Editing

Gene editing represents a shift from purely pharmacological treatment toward possible correction of underlying biological mechanisms in certain diseases.

Its use would require strong ethical and biosafety frameworks.

55. Personalized Medicine

The combination of genetics, data, and artificial intelligence could allow treatments adapted to the specific characteristics of individual patients.

56. Computational Drug Development

Artificial intelligence could accelerate molecule identification, simulation, and pharmaceutical discovery.

57. Medical Microdevices

Sensors, implantable devices, and digital systems could provide continuous monitoring of selected physiological variables.

58. Robotic Surgery

Robotic surgical systems and minimally invasive technologies could increase precision and reduce recovery periods.

59. Human-Machine Integration

The book considers scenarios involving increasing integration between biological and technological systems.

From a regulatory perspective, this would require new rules for safety, biological privacy, medical liability, and human autonomy.

60. Longevity Technologies

Combined advances in genetics, biomedicine, and artificial intelligence could extend healthy life expectancy.

Science policy would need to distinguish evidence-based longevity research from unsupported commercial anti-aging claims.

61. Science as Strategic Infrastructure

Millán gives science a central position in the emerging order.

A knowledge-based society would partially replace a society organized primarily around material ownership and traditional hierarchies.

Research investment would therefore cease to be viewed merely as sectoral expenditure and would increasingly be treated as productive infrastructure.

62. Democratization of Scientific Knowledge

Digital networks can reduce barriers to information, education, and research.

This favors open science, public repositories, and international scientific collaboration.

63. Distributed Innovation Ecosystems

The emerging model would no longer depend only on large institutions.

Small companies, universities, communities, and professionals could collaborate globally.

64. Open Innovation

Knowledge-sharing and collaborative development could accelerate selected innovation processes.

65. Interdisciplinary Science Policy

The convergence of artificial intelligence, biotechnology, energy, computing, and materials science makes a research policy organized exclusively around rigid disciplinary boundaries increasingly inadequate.

66. Space Exploration

Millán anticipates a new phase of space exploration and discovery.

This opens policy agendas involving launch systems, satellites, space science, communications, and planetary exploration.

67. Return to the Moon and Exploration of Mars

The book considers expanded human and technological activity beyond Earth.

68. Revision of Cosmological Models

Millán expects major changes in scientific understanding of the universe.

Here it is essential to distinguish the author’s speculative framework from established scientific evidence.

69. Reform of Scientific Practice Through Emerging Technologies

Scientific methodology itself could be transformed by artificial intelligence systems capable of generating hypotheses or analyzing information at scales beyond individual human capacity.

70. Ethical Regulation of Emerging Technologies

Genetics, artificial intelligence, human-machine interfaces, and nanotechnology require preventive governance frameworks.

The central principle is that technical feasibility does not automatically imply social acceptability.

71. Mental Health as Social Policy

The book criticizes an excessively individualized understanding of certain psychological problems.

It suggests that some forms of distress may be connected to working conditions, insecurity, isolation, and social organization.

This supports mental health policies incorporating community prevention.

72. Community-Based Therapy and Prevention

Responses to psychological distress should not be limited to medication or individual treatment.

Community services, social support networks, and early prevention programs could form part of the policy response.

73. A More Distributive Economy

Millán imagines a transition away from economic structures characterized by extreme concentration of wealth toward systems in which distribution has greater importance.

He does not simply propose replacing capitalism with classical socialism. Instead, he anticipates hybrid models.

74. A New Mixed Economy

The emerging model could combine markets, public intervention, community economics, digital systems, and new forms of ownership.

75. Strategic Redistribution of Resources

Redistribution would not be limited to taxation.

It would also concern access to knowledge, energy, public services, technology, and capital.

76. Capital Oriented Toward Collective Benefit

The purpose of capital could expand beyond maximizing private returns toward solving collective problems.

77. Impact Investment

This logic supports financial instruments connected to climate, energy, food, housing, public health, and social innovation.

78. Transformation of the Concept of Property

Data, algorithms, knowledge, and digital rights acquire value comparable to traditional physical assets.

79. The Knowledge Economy

Competitive advantage would increasingly depend less on control of physical resources and more on the ability to produce ideas, technologies, and scientific capabilities.

80. Gradual End of Hereditary Privilege

The book anticipates a weakening of political and social structures based primarily on birth.

81. Questioning the Monarchy

Millán associates certain monarchic and hereditary institutions with the hierarchical structures of the older system.

His scenario anticipates a gradual loss of legitimacy for such arrangements.

82. Vocational and Technical Elites

Instead of inheriting positions of influence, access to leadership would increasingly depend on knowledge, capability, contribution, and expertise.

83. Emergence of a Technological Class

The book uses the idea of a new social class composed of entrepreneurs, technologists, creatives, and knowledge-intensive professionals.

This group could become both a driver of innovation and a new source of concentrated power.

Competition policy and distributive institutions would therefore remain important.

84. Increasing Separation Between Politics and Religion

Religious authority would gradually lose direct political influence.

This would strengthen more secular and pluralistic institutional arrangements.

85. Gender Equality

The book associates the emerging social model with a reduction in patriarchal structures.

In policy terms, this can be translated into legal, economic, and political equality.

86. New Identities and Family Models

Millán anticipates more diverse family structures.

Governments would have to adapt legislation, parenthood rules, adoption systems, and public services to this plurality.

87. Local Communities Connected Globally

One of the most characteristic formulas in the book is the combination of local proximity and global connectivity.

Small communities could achieve partial self-sufficiency while simultaneously exchanging information and technology through global networks.

88. Distributed Production

Decentralization does not apply only to politics.

It also affects energy, food, manufacturing, and knowledge production.

89. Territorial Resilience

A society that depends excessively on long global supply chains is vulnerable.

The corresponding policy response is to diversify suppliers and strengthen local capabilities.

90. A Geopolitical System Less Dependent on Fossil Resources

If oil and gas lose strategic importance, the structure of international power also changes.

Countries controlling knowledge, semiconductors, artificial intelligence, data, advanced energy technologies, or strategic minerals become increasingly important.

91. Strategic Supply Chains

Economic security increasingly includes semiconductors, batteries, telecommunications networks, medicines, energy, food, and critical digital components.

92. International Technological Cooperation

Major challenges such as climate change, cybersecurity, pandemics, and space exploration exceed the capacity of individual states.

They therefore require new forms of international technological cooperation.

93. New International Technology Treaties

Beyond the cyberwarfare treaties explicitly mentioned by Millán, the logic of the book supports international agreements governing artificial intelligence, data, genetic technologies, and dual-use systems.

The extension to these fields is analytical. The book is particularly explicit about the need for agreements governing cyber conflict.

94. Privacy as a Structural Right

In an information-based economy, privacy is no longer a marginal civil liberties issue.

It becomes a form of power.

95. The Right Not to Be Permanently Monitored

The book anticipates growing social resistance to continuous monitoring.

This can be translated into stronger limits on commercial and government surveillance.

96. Lifelong Technological Education

A society undergoing rapid technological change requires continuous learning throughout adult life.

97. Professional Reskilling in Response to Automation

Workers displaced by artificial intelligence or robotics will require systematic retraining programs.

This policy follows directly from the labor-market scenario described in the book, although Millán does not provide a detailed administrative program.

98. Just Transition Policies

Technological transformation creates winners and losers.

Minimum income programs, retraining, territorial investment, and social protection can help prevent transition costs from becoming concentrated in particular groups or regions.

99. Long-Term Strategic Planning

The simultaneous effects of aging, debt, climate change, automation, and cybersecurity require governments to move beyond four-year political horizons.

States need institutions capable of working with scenarios extending across decades.

100. Public Foresight Systems

Once the astrological framework is separated from institutional analysis, one of the most relevant conclusions of the book is the need to anticipate transformations before they become crises.

A contemporary foresight system would use demographic, technological, climatic, economic, and geopolitical data, develop alternative scenarios, assess risks, and revise projections periodically.

Mundane astrology is Millán’s chosen interpretive framework, but it is not a scientific methodology for public policy evaluation.

Its evidence-based public policy counterpart would be strategic foresight, scenario analysis, horizon scanning, and systemic risk assessment.

An Integrated Policy Architecture for the Emerging Order

Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the book, once separated from its astrological framework, is that it does not describe a single technological revolution.

It describes a convergence of transitions.

The digital transition transforms communications, employment, money, and security.

The energy transition transforms industry, geopolitics, and transportation.

The demographic transition reshapes pensions, migration, labor markets, and family structures.

The productive transition replaces part of repetitive human labor with artificial intelligence and robotics.

The financial transition challenges existing structures of debt, banking, currency, and ownership.

The political transition shifts power away from rigid vertical organizations toward networks.

The geopolitical transition turns data, knowledge, algorithms, energy technologies, and cybersecurity into strategic resources.

For this reason, the policies described above cannot be designed as isolated policy silos.

An electric vehicle strategy depends simultaneously on batteries, electricity grids, critical minerals, renewable generation, digitalization, manufacturing capacity, and international trade.

An artificial intelligence strategy depends on education, data centers, energy, privacy regulation, cybersecurity, and basic science.

A pro-natality policy depends on housing, employment, childcare, taxation, healthcare, and pensions.

A public debt strategy depends on productivity, demographic trends, interest rates, investment, and technological growth.

A cybersecurity strategy affects defense, banking, energy, health services, telecommunications, transportation, and citizenship.

The Five Major Policy Pillars

Taken together, the agenda can be organized into five broad pillars.

The first is technological and security sovereignty: cyberdefense, international cyber treaties, critical infrastructure protection, secure digital identity, deepfake defense, data security, and responsible artificial intelligence.

The second is economic and financial reconstruction: debt restructuring, potential debt write-downs, stabilization funds, digital currencies, cryptocurrencies, fintech, collective capital, and impact investment.

The third is productive and scientific transformation: artificial intelligence, robotics, quantum computing, nanotechnology, additive manufacturing, biotechnology, personalized medicine, and new materials.

The fourth is energy, climate, and territorial transition: renewable energy, hydrogen, advanced nuclear technologies, geothermal energy, storage, sustainable agriculture, electric mobility, local production, and climate adaptation.

The fifth is social and demographic adaptation: pro-natality policies, care infrastructure, migration, pension reform, lifelong learning, minimum income guarantees, new labor models, and participatory governance.

Conclusion

Viewed through the lens of public policy rather than astrology, Astrology for the New World Order can be read as a broad catalogue of signals pointing toward systemic transformation.

José Millán anticipates a movement away from centralized, material, and hierarchical structures toward systems based increasingly on information, networks, automation, knowledge, decentralization, and new forms of cooperation.

His vision is not purely utopian.

Almost every technology has a dual character.

Artificial intelligence can reduce repetitive work or concentrate power.

Digital networks can democratize information or manipulate populations.

Digital currencies can facilitate transactions or enable surveillance.

Decentralization can create autonomy or fragmentation.

Biotechnology can cure disease or create new risks.

Digitalization can increase productivity or make entire societies vulnerable to remote attacks.

For that reason, perhaps the most important public policy implication is that innovation and security must evolve together.

Deploying 6G networks is not enough. They must also be secured.

Introducing artificial intelligence is not enough. It must also be governed.

Digitalizing money is not enough. Privacy and resilience must also be protected.

Automating production is not enough. Labor-market transition policies are also required.

Expanding renewable energy is not enough. Storage and grid infrastructure must be developed.

Diagnosing demographic aging is not enough. Governments must also adapt birth-rate policies, migration systems, pensions, and care infrastructure.

The emerging order described through this reading is not defined by a single institution or a dominant technology.

It is defined by the ability to integrate science policy, technology policy, security, economics, demography, and sustainability within a coherent long-term strategy.

That may ultimately be the most important public policy lesson that can be extracted from the book beyond the astrological framework that organizes its narrative.

The major challenges now emerging do not belong to a single ministry, sector, or academic discipline.

They are systemic problems.

They therefore require systemic policies.
