As mentioned yesterday, there’s a big question about what all of this means for financial service.
You may not have asked those questions but if life sciences allows people to live for 150 years or more; if babies can be born without defects; if you can design yourself to be whatever you want to be; then that raises all sorts of questions. How will you live in a world where those who can afford it are beautiful and can live for almost ever, whilst those who cannot are secondary. I blogged about these things just last month, so I’m not going to over labour this entry here. 21 Ways Software Will Transform Global Society. How to think like a futurist: Recommended readings.

10 Theological Explorations Of Futuristic Ideas. Religion There has long been an uneasy relationship between traditional religion and the inescapable march of science.
But it should not be forgotten that theologians and futurists share many qualities, including imagination, logic, and extrapolation. Here are 10 ways religious thinkers have explored ideas straight out of science fiction. Future news & vision. Futurism. Projets de Société. Futurologie. Utopies. Prospective. How to Think Like a Futurist: DevLearn 2017 Closing Keynote. DevLearn 2017 wrapped up with a thought-provoking closing keynote, “How to Think Like a Futurist,” by Jane McGonigal, PhD, director of games research and development at the Institute for the Future.
She helped us level up our powers of creativity and imagination for thinking about the future. First-person thinking McGonigal compared two ways to imagine the future: using impersonal facts or thinking in the first person. One example of possible future facts: “In the future, there will be a climate change. By 2050, sea levels may rise by as much as 9 feet and 750 million people may be displaced.” First-person thinking connects you to your future self because the brain fires up faster, with more flexibility, making more connections (Figure 1).
Don’t be a stranger to your future self Something else to keep in mind is that when we try to imagine ourselves far into the future, we are likely to see a stranger. Questions to ask about possible futures. The sceptical futuryst. The shock of the anthropocene. In 2003 the Australian philosopher Glenn Albrecht coined the term solastalgia to mean a “form of psychic or existential distress caused by environmental change”.
Albrecht was studying the effects of long-term drought and large-scale mining activity on communities in New South Wales, when he realised that no word existed to describe the unhappiness of people whose landscapes were being transformed about them by forces beyond their control. He proposed his new term to describe this distinctive kind of homesickness. Where the pain of nostalgia arises from moving away, the pain of solastalgia arises from staying put. Where the pain of nostalgia can be mitigated by return, the pain of solastalgia tends to be irreversible.
Solastalgia is not a malady specific to the present – we might think of John Clare as a solastalgic poet, witnessing his native Northamptonshire countryside disrupted by enclosure in the 1810s – but it has flourished recently. The group’s report is due within months. Future & Web... Oxford Future of Cities Scenarios.
Last year I participated in a large scenario planning effort as part of the University of Oxford’s “Future of Cities” programme.
The project interviewed a range of business leaders, property developers, environmentalists, community activists, political scientists, engineers, architects and designers from around the world. It then extracted a variety of themes and drivers in using a traditional STEEP framework and synthesised these into three scenarios through several workshops. Although the scenario process was inductive, the final scenarios were presented on a 2×2 deductive grid to help explain their dominant logics to the stake-holder group. Key themes and implications. Fun with scenario archetypes. I have been messing around with and shared some actual work on using scenario archetypes.
Let me begin with proper credit to Professor Jim Dator for the concept [Jim Dator, Alternative Futures at the Manoa School, Journal of Futures Studies, November 2009, 14(2): 1 – 18. ] and Wendy Schultz’s scenario archetype elaborations and former futurist colleague at the former Social Technologies and [not surprisingly a Hawaii program grad] Mark Justman as my key influences, and probably others that I’ve forgotten. With this post, I will lay out some basic background and note some key similarities and differences. A brief summary Dator’s archetypes Continued growth is the “official” view of the future of all modern governments, educational systems, and organizations. My “tweaks” So, three of the four major archetypes or patterns of change maintain at least the essence of the current system, and one fundamentally changes it. Category:Obsolete occupations.

Future - Are we on the road to civilisation collapse? Great civilisations are not murdered. Instead, they take their own lives. This article is part of a new BBC Future series about the long view of humanity, which aims to stand back from the daily news cycle and widen the lens of our current place in time.
Modern society is suffering from “temporal exhaustion”, the sociologist Elise Boulding once said. “If one is mentally out of breath all the time from dealing with the present, there is no energy left for imagining the future,” she wrote. That’s why the Deep Civilisation season will explore what really matters in the broader arc of human history and what it means for us and our descendants. Preserving Knowledge for after the Apocalypse. How past climate change impacted the human species.
Humans have been through climate changes before- but mostly cold ones and mostly in our far distant past. Previous major global climate changes were glacial cycles that happened long before human civilization developed. The human species evolved during the last 2.5 million years. Our far distant ancestors survived through multiple gradual cycles of cold ice ages, but did not experience any previous "hot ages. " We homo sapiens in our current form appeared only about 200,000 years ago.
(29) Where will humans live if Earth becomes uninhabitable? Where might humans live in space? Life in a distant future as imagined by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos will be, in many ways, like life today. People will socialise, commute to work and have weekends to rest. The only difference is that we will be living in huge spinning cylinders that closely mimic our planet, but are actually in orbit around it. The world’s richest man, according to Forbes, is one of several prominent people who are thinking seriously about what humans might do if they ever have to develop habitats beyond Earth.
Mr Bezos’s vision is based on ideas first put forward in the 1970s by the Princeton scientist Gerard O’Neill. At a recent event for his space company Blue Origin, Mr Bezos suggested that a series of these colonies could be designed for specific uses: some residential, others for industry and leisure.

Signée par quatre scientifiques éminents, Stephen Hawking, astrophysicien renommé, Stuart Russell, informaticien, professeur à l’université de Californie à Berkeley et auteur d’un manuel sur l’intelligence artificielle qui fait autorité, Max Tegmark, physicien et professeur au MIT et Frank Wilczek, physicien, professeur au MIT et Prix Nobel de physique, une tribune alarmiste a paru le 1er mai 2014 dans le journal The Independent [1] pour nous alerter sur des dangers que l’intelligence artificielle ferait courir à l’humanité.
Selon ces quatre personnalités, nous atteindrions très bientôt un point de non-retour au-delà duquel nous irions inéluctablement à notre perte sans plus jamais pouvoir revenir en arrière. Aujourd’hui, il serait encore temps ; demain, plus rien ne sera possible ! Se una macchina impara i pregiudizi umani. Le più stupefacenti applicazioni dell'intelligenza artificiale non sono guidate da una logica asettica e oggettiva, ma incorrono facilmente in errori sistematici e veri e propri pregiudizi che gli algoritmi di apprendimento automatico alla loro base acquisiscono dai progettisti umanidi Jesse Emspak Se l'intelligenza artificiale prenderà il sopravvento nella nostra vita, probabilmente non porterà l'uomo a combattere un esercito di robot che applicano un'inesorabile logica alla Spock per renderci fisicamente schiavi.
Piuttosto, gli algoritmi di apprendimento automatico che già consentono ai programmi di intelligenza artificiale (IA) di raccomandarci un film o riconoscere il viso di un amico in una foto saranno probabilmente gli stessi che un giorno ci negheranno un prestito, faranno arrivare la polizia nel vostro quartiere o diranno al vostro medico che avete bisogno di una dieta. Nei dati inizialmente forniti, consente di riconoscere modelli simili anche in dati nuovi.
