Sheldon Pacotti hosts Friday Farsight, a technology show with 17 episodes published.
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
Show notesVisiting 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
Show notesWe 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
Show notesWill 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
Show notesHumans 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
Show notesThe 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
Show notesThis 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
Show notesWe 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
Show notesSounds 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
Show notesA 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
Show notesJust 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
Show notesExtrapolating 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
Show notesFaster-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
Show notesNo, 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
Show notesMost 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
Show notesWealth 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
Show notesThe 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?
Show notesLivestock 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
Show notesRobotic 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
