Kevin Kelly videos on the future

Post by Tadasuke »

I recommend watching a few of Kevin Kelly's videos about the future in multiple chosen topics (one per video), the whole playlist is 38 videos:

Those videos aren't long.
Global economy doubles in product every 15-20 years. Computer performance at a constant price doubles nowadays every 4 years on average. Livestock-as-food will globally stop being a thing by ~2050 (precision fermentation and more). Human stupidity, pride and depravity are the biggest problems of our world.

He sounds smart and well-reasoned on the future-planning approach, but wouldn't it be wildly affected by the scenarios we come up with? For example different groups of ten hypothetical futures could lead to very different conclusions on the best course of action for the future.
