    Jamais Cascio on Forecasting the Future, Climate Change and Geoengineering and the Biggest Threats to Human Civilization

    Jamais Cascio on Forecasting the Future, Climate Change and Geoengineering and the Biggest Threats to Human Civilization

    Jamais Cascio (@cascio) is a writer, speaker and futurist that focuses on the intersection of emerging technologies, environmental dilemmas, and cultural transformation, specializing in the design and creation of plausible scenarios of the future – writing mainly on the importance of long-term, systemic thinking, emphasizing the power of openness, transparency and flexibility as catalysts for building a more resilient society at openthefuture.org.

    Selected by Foreign Policy magazine as a Top 100 Global Thinker, Jamais Cascio specializes in the creation of provocative future scenarios. He explores emerging possibilities in print and in speaking events world-wide, and has appeared in in multiple television and film documentaries. Cascio serves as Distinguished Fellow at the Institute for the Future, and published his first non-fiction book, HACKING THE EARTH, in 2009. He was a featured speaker at the TED 2006 conference, “The Future We Will Create,” in Monterey, California.

    “My worst-case scenario is us continuing to have short-term-track thinking.” — Jamais Cascio

    Originally posted on FringeFM.



    In our wide-ranging conversation, we cover many things, including:



    * Why we may be heading towards a 5-6 degree warmer world

    * The biggest threats to humanity’s existence

    * How technology and humanity intertwine and co-evolve

    * Why Jamais is pessimistic in the short term and optimistic in the long term

    * Jamais’ thoughts on the cons of geo engineering

    * The important but often overlooked drivers climate change

    * Why Jamais forecasts rather than predicts the future

    * The actual implications of autonomous driving and automation

    * Why our political and economic systems are outdated and how to fix this

    * Why the future may have a lot more sex and drugs



    NOTE: A couple times Jamais references terms/concepts which popularly used yet politically charged like pink-collar jobs. He is in no way endorsing or a fan of gender-roles/stereotypes but just observing them in action.

Great podcast

This podcast is really great Matt is open and honest about his experiences and has taught me sooo much.

There are programs or there that all for over $4000 and honestly there not nearly as good or thorough as Matt. Save your money and listen to fba Allstars. Totally free yet EXTREMELY valuable!

Thanks Matt

the amazing pharmacist ,

superb info

The info from matt is top notch and i have just started listening to his podcasts...not sure there is enough time in the universe to hear all of them, but will start at #1 and work my way up the list. Matt has done remarkable businesses in the past and i am excited to dive into his brain and find the aspects that will help me to zero in on my goals and interests.
I would highly recommend the time and focus to learn from his expertise.
