Gaming the Future: The Book!

JOIN US TOMORROW FOR THE FORESIGHT HIVEMIND:

SEEKING LONG-TERM FUTURES IN TIMES OF CRISIS

 

There’s still time to join the Hive Mind, our three-week online workshop on opportunities for change from COVID-19.

After breaking our Zoom capacity at the kick-off yesterday we ramped up capacity and can’t wait to welcome many of you for tomorrow’s first focus group:

What hopeful long-term views for humanity can be birthed from this crisis?
 

We have a fantastic panel:

  • Max Tegmark, Future of Life Institute
  • Eri Gentry, Negative
  • Anders Sandberg, Future of Humanity Institute
  • David Eagleman, LiveWired
  • David Pearce, The Hedonistic Imperative

If a catastrophe is an event which causes the loss of most expected value, a eucatastrophe is an event which causes there to be much more expected value after the event than before (source).

Currently, there may be a few unique opportunities to steer the COVID-19 crisis away from catastrophe toward eucatastrophe.

Some demand urgency given the speed with which the crisis is changing and the likely short time-window in which it will be possible to push for those ideas.

Join us week-daily, as we explore our options:
