In Praise of Futurism

The best way to predict the future is to build it.

But which future to build?

With manifold futures we have manifold options. Many of these lead down dark paths which are harmful to the Biosphere. Many unintentionally harmful; dark paths are rarely signposted.

Biosphere-affirming technology is possible but not inevitable.

By imagining 'what could be' the best possible futures, makes those futures much more likely to be made real.

If only because we may try.
