We’re back this month with David Staley of Columbus Futurists. Our first episode with David lays the groundwork for what we’re discussing in this second part, giving more context as to what futurism is and how it can be a useful lens through which we view even current issues. The main point of today’s conversation is that, while futurism does rely on certain drivers – or factors that indicate the likelihood of one outcome or another – it's not a crystal ball. We are not resigned to the predicted outcomes as if they’re prophecies. We have agency that allows us to shift our current methods to achieve different outcomes. We have the power to reverse engineer the future. Knowing the risks and opportunities is what allows us to build a future we want, rather than passively waiting for it to get here.
