The Future of Understanding the Future, David Passig, Futurist, Head of VR Lab, BIU and Co-Founder/Visionary, Thinkz.ai, Part 1
Manage episode 291404246 series 2918333
Those who do future studies know that there are an infinite number of possible futures. With infinity as a baseline, how does one prepare for what’s to come or predict what will come next? On this two-part episode of Future of Tech, Dr. David Passig, a renowned futurist, explains that future studies is less about predicting the future, and more about understanding the present in order to avoid negative outcomes and enhance positive ones. Here in part one, Dr. Passig explains the basics of hunting for patterns that might help to predict the future, and he explains exactly why and how humans are built to use technology as a way to break free of the prisons of time and space that currently confine us all. Plus, he gives a prediction about how we might start thinking about gravity a little bit differently not too long from now. Enjoy and tune in for part two next week!
Main Takeaways:
- Back To The Future: Future studies isn’t about predicting the future, it’s about studying the present and the past in order to find ways to bring about more positive outcomes.
- Pattern Matching: By identifying recurring patterns, you can begin to predict what will occur in the future or, at least make educated guesses as to where certain systems or events will lead.
- Population Problems: One of the driving forces of humanity is productivity, but a human’s productive years are very limited. As more people go from having many children to having fewer children, that will deplete the amount of total productive capacity of the population overall. As such, there is a drive to create more technology to fill in the productivity gaps.
