For the next few episodes, we are going be focusing the future. Predicting the future has always been problematic. This usually is because we are predicting futures of say, business models such as the next stock-market correction, or the next housing boom.
Credentialed authorities are comically bad at predicting the future. The track record of expert forecasters—in science, in economics, in politics—is dismal.
This is often because humans are so unpredictable.
Guaranteed accurate information about the future is impossible, but reliable forecasting is possible. Trends present themselves, and that can be evaluated.
Yes, the future can look bleak, and it would be easy to focus on the worse aspects of our climate and ecological issues that are facing us. However, there is so much that can be done, and we hope to stimulate some thinking and conversation with this endeavor.
This is a small sampling of some to the topics we will be addressing:
The Future of carbon capture
The Future of electric cars
The Future of staying cool
The Future of heat
The Future of meat
The Future of fire - both good and bad
The Future of loneliness
The Future of the human climate niche
The Future of protest
The Future of denial
The Future of summer
The Future of travel
The Future of the media
This episode we look at - The future of the daily weather forecast - The future of business travel - The future of clean air and the benefit to birds.
It’s a remarkable time to be alive. The future is not determined. The future is in our hands.
What we do between 2020-2030, is going to be the most decisive decade for humanity on Earth. You can learn about a world that hasn’t happened yet.
