The Future of Neoliberal Democracy

Jun 5, 202628mEp. 19S1

Democracy is in decline, if you believe the statistics, and the headlines. Sounds like fake news, but what do the numbers say? The trends in public opinion, technology, economics? Are Darwinian forces decimating the soci

First Space Probe to an Exoplanet

May 29, 202627mEp. 18S1

Visiting another star system may cost hundreds of billions of dollars and take lifetimes to accomplish. Will we do it? If so, will we be transformed more by the images sent back, or by the civilizational effort to build

Replacing Plastic as the Dominant Material

May 22, 202628mEp. 17S1

We know plastic is bad. Great masses float on the oceans, tiny specks lodge in our brains. Why don't we just stop using it? Are we just too lazy? Or are there fundamental limits to what can be replaced, and when? Read th

Artificial Wombs

May 15, 202631mEp. 16S1

Will humanity choose to outsource the life process? Will that mean a new era of liberation, or of alienation? Does separating gestation from the female body resolve the ethical conflict between the sanctity of life and a

The End of Ecological Domination

May 8, 202634mEp. 15S1

Humans dominate most of the Earth's surface because our survival depends on it. Or does it? Will biofactories one day produce all the food we need? Does the land then return to wilderness? What is life like in a high-tec

Flying Carpets (and Other Personal Aerial Devices)

May 1, 202638mEp. 14S1

The dream of flight. It has captivated humanity for millennia. Missing from most of these dreams, though, is taking off your shoes and getting patted down by a TSA agent. Is the mythic vision of flying solo, free as a bi

Global Warming Resolution

Apr 24, 202616mEp. 13S1

This is not a Biblical tale of the Second Flood. Nor is it a tale of our sun phase-shifting into a red giant that swells with the ejecta of helium fusion until it burns all the water off the face of the earth, thus... un

First O'Neill Cylinder Construction

Apr 17, 202616mEp. 12S1

We feel certain that humanity will settle outer space -- a lifeless, hostile void -- and yet we have made little attempt to build cities under the ocean, where there is wildlife, water, oxygen, and mineral riches that ar

Direct Brain-to-Brain Communication

Apr 10, 202618mEp. 11S1

Sounds crazy, but people are working on it. We have cybernetic prosthetic limbs. We have make-believe neural tissue running on servers and chatting with us in the voice of Pee-wee Herman. Can it be too much longer before

Digital Currencies Replacing Paper Currencies Worldwide

Apr 3, 202614mEp. 10S1

A purely digital economy would be a purely controlled economy. No one would be playing outside the game, making deals with briefcases full of dollar bills. But do we want people making deals with briefcases full of dolla

Comprehensive ICBM Missile Defense

Mar 27, 202614mEp. 9S1

Just checked the Doomsday Clock from The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, and it reads 85 seconds to midnight, the closest to disaster it has ever been, yet the idea of a nuclear war seems more far-fetched than ever. W

Geopolitics in the 2040s

Mar 20, 202619mEp. 8S1

Extrapolating from today's U.S. government policies, AI has a vision for a changed world order in the 2040s. Who will come out on top? The Kingdom of Denmark? Read the full scenario: Geopolitics in the 2040s V2 - Aug 202

Faster-Than-light Spacecraft

Mar 13, 202623mEp. 7S1

Faster-than-light spaceships could be coming as early as 2100, or... not? A second prediction in the database says FTL travel is impossible. How can Strategic Farsight publish both predictions? Which should we believe? R

Mainstream Holographic Televisions

No, not 3D goggles. Not big blocks of glass with 3D images inside. We're talking lifelike 3D images broadcast into the open air. Is this really possible? How? As a sci-fi writer, I have avoided such tech in my stories, p

Indefinite Life Extension

Feb 27, 202618mEp. 5S1

Most people still think that longevity science is a hoax, while scientists in the field claim that we're a decade or two away from tech that could let us rewind the biological clock at will. Who is right, or is the truth

Wealth Inequality in the U.S. (500-year Extrapolation)

Feb 20, 202618mEp. 4S1

Wealth inequality is bad and getting worse, a trend that has been clear since the 1980s. Surely society will take corrective action now that the issue is headline news. Right? Or will the stronger force remain wealth's p

First Wholly AI-Managed Corporation

Feb 13, 202617mEp. 3S1

The robots are coming for our jobs, they say. Maybe so. But when will this include the CEOs and executives? When will companies run all on their own? Is this the inevitable destination of capital's drive for efficiency?

Lab-grown Meat Surpassing Traditional Livestock

Feb 6, 202621mEp. 2S1

Livestock consumes over 3/4 of agricultural land. A transition to "cultured meat" could open a future where the domination of nature is no longer an existential imperative. Might we live to see planet-wide rewilding? Rea

Fully Capable Domestic Robots

Robotic servants. They've been just around the corner since at least the 1950s. Is today different? Are we about to say goodbye to household chores? What then? What won't robots do for us, and what will that mean for lab
