Need to place an order for custom dice sets as a fun tool for supporting rigour in foresight scanning (custom as in bespoke to Futures, not 1 unique handcrafted set). These would also be a prototype for further development. Keen to use an NZ outfit. Give me your recommendations

One cannot read colonial history and not be struck by how countries that spent much of the past 500 years engaged in mass enslavement, human trafficking, forced dispossession, ethnic cleansing and genocide are somehow still cast as the bearers of "civilization".

Neat review of @taituara's Navigating Critical 21st Century Transitions report from Debra Bradley of Writing for Councils https://t.co/yEE6q8kkgY

Dear Spatial & Urban Planners, Demographers & Geographers, Sociologists & Anthropologists and others: is there an extant formal term for the growth of regional towns and cities when that growth is not at the expense of an emptying rural hinterland or the depopulation of cities

@StephaniePride . . . . It has many redundancies in case any one defense fails. It acts fast, but has checks and balances to prevent overreactions. And, in the main, it just works.”

@StephaniePride Particularly liked this reflection:

“That system may be vexingly complex, but it is also both efficient and resilient in a way that our society could take lessons from. It prepares in advance, and learns from its past. . .

This is the most accessible and useful piece I have come across about Covid19 so far. Detailed but really accessible for everyday readers

‘Our current calendar interfaces lean too heavily on dead-tree methods of representing time. What if a calendar could represent subjective time (i.e. how long a meeting feels, its tempo/energy, its emotional valence, etc.) Some events fly by because they feel productive and fun..

[Stratedgy @stratedgy]

So great to have been a part of these events

It was a pleasure and a privilege to deliver two sessions for the Global Futures Literacy Network - Oceania at the @FFTFNZ 2020 with fellow futurists @anita_kelleher Amy Fletcher and Remi Mitchell, under the auspices of @RielM’s UNESCO Futures Literacy initiatives. 1/

When radical disruption occurs, the efforts to shore up the status quo are deeply revealing.

Shows the potential value of undertaking Foresight exercises. (NB value only fully realised if you plan responses and then monitor how we’re tracking towards or away from different scenarios)

. @stratedgy was delighted to contribute to @AklCouncil’s Elected Member Kura Kāwana Symposium this morning.Fantastic to see such positive engagement with the future!

[StephaniePride.bsky.social @StephaniePride]

It was a great privilege, and my absolute pleasure to give the keynote for @AklCouncil’s Kura Kāwana Symposium for Elected Members this morning. Great to have the opportunity to talk about governing and decision-making in the context of era-scale change.

@droneale Getting together in town + work at home + remote communicating w colleagues (phone, video, email, slack etc.) +some working in community hubs - like suburban Biz dojo integrated with other community stuff that creates other connections. Win, win, win for carbon and connections

[Stratedgy @stratedgy]

@droneale Can’t agree more! So many people want more flexible work. Not going into ‘the office in town 9-5 every week day’ is not equal to loneliness and isolation. We can cut our emissions, create better lives & social isolation by diversifying work modalities.

Literally all I do as a futurist:

Not improbable
Not impossible
No, real futurists don't predict
Not implausible
Not improbable
Entirely possible, but I'm not predicting it
Not improbable
Preposterous (but preposterous futures are commonplace atm)
No, I'm not going to predict!

Everything routine will be automated - and what constitutes ‘routine’ is getting broader! #FutureOfWork #Automation #Robotics
