The purpose of this chapter is to define intrinsic values of information-communication processes in human development. The development of civilization depends upon the accumulation of wisdom, knowledge and cultural and infrastructural gain. Man is prouder of his heritage than of that which he can eventually achieve in the future. The future is often the threat of the imminent unknown, something that can destroy our stability, qualifications and position within society. On the other hand, the “future” is also the hope of the desperate for a better life.

Abstract. This short argument paper elaborates the argument of retrocausality in human cultural-civilizational continuum based on the concept of bidirectional time flow. The first chapter presents the bidirectional time flow idea and explains it. The second chapter presents and explains the theoretical scheme of retrocausality, demonstrating the total singularity - the noosphere - as the final perceived stage in cultural-civilizational human development as the super-set to current linear time based human existence, which could transparently perceive and manipulate both directions of temporal flows of our lived continuum. The conclusion is made that retrocausality is possible due perception model allowing to grasp the past and the future as open sequences within given temporal and spatial boundaries.
