Challenging ideas for you! ππ‘
I stumbled on a website called futurist.com --- it's a vanity project of some guy who is a speaker about, clutches pearls, THE FUTURE... (The links are below).
I wasn't enthralled but I watch and read a bit and found myself challenged. Not to learn new things, but to hear different perspectives.
I immediately wanted to reject their hypothesis' but remembered the power of hearing different perspectives to see through cognitive blindspots.
In college my neighbour had a newspaper delivered that was of the complete opposite political side as myself at the time. He'd be out of the country a lot and the papers would pile up so I'd grab them for him. I became engrossed in reading it. Fascinating how there was a complete other side to how I saw the world. Since then I've enjoyed hearing weird ideas, new ideas, fringe ideas. I think it's partly what got me into Bitcoin.
So here are these videos. I didn't like everything nor agree with many things presented, but they made me think, reconsider and build out some worldview.
And what a π€― to think about the things we touch now daily, versus fifty years ago. π«
