Category Archives: Futurism

As promised last week, let us explore opportunities for young people, focusing on rural futurism. On day one of the Okere Summit, I noticed something peculiar. A missing demographic component.

We had been entertained by primary school children and adolescents, seen the much older and elderly women in their civic education class, and also interacted with middle-aged community members and leaders at the summit.

Where are the youth? I asked. It is interesting to note that contrary to popular narrative, youth do not constitute the majority component of Ugandas population. But it is easy to tell when they are or arent in a place. Futuristic community projects with the potential that Okere city has must integrate youth in their agenda of change, otherwise it is likely to come to naught.

This is for two core reasons. The first being a need to create transitions, and the second being, as a deterrent against the potential for destruction thanks to the hubris, naivety and myopy of youth. That is why I was keen to find out where the citys youth were.

Okere, like many other rural places around the country, is losing its young people to urban migration, in search for better opportunities. There is little to do in the village and their dreams whatever those might be wont be fulfilled there. So, they come to town to ride boda-bodas, work at construction sites or as Askaris, cleaners, hawkers etc. If this fails, as is often wont to, they might resort to petty and sometimes violent crime.

Besides its value in oil, the Shea tree is also, apparently, famous for producing the best charcoal. Before Ojoks foray down this inexplicable dream, whatever little came into the Okere economy was via charcoal trade.

Now, leaders are talking about bylaws to criminalise the cutting of shea trees because they are already reaping more than they ever have and cant begin to imagine the kind of rosy future they will soon have.

You get the sense that Ojok will not be the last son of the soil to commit class suicide. Soon, many others working high level jobs in Kampala or wherever will want in on the harvest. But it wont be just them. It will also be those who didnt get a good enough education and exposure to imagine what more they can do with the tracts of land their families own. They will be back home planting Shea trees on every inch of land that they can find.

If this happens, might we see millions of other young people from other parts of the country decide to swap Kampalas meagre salaries and exorbitant rent bills for their familys cattle farms, coffee, and matooke, and potato plantations?

Might we then be able to bring a stop to the sad sight of labour migration that we continue to witness with hundreds of thousands of our young people seeking opportunities in the Middle East? Who knows!

But these sorts of monumental systemic shifts take lots of guts, endurance and a certain simplicity that not many of us are blessed with. Community impact projects arent the kinds many would invest in because there is usually little to no return on the money. That is why Ojoks move is great because it combines impact with economics that actually works.

More than anything, it is a lesson on how to not over-complicate things. Development and ideas fail to take off or arrive because we start to draw linear demand and supply curves, overanalyse profit and loss margins, try to make forecasts and predict bottom lines. It is the reason why many of us dont start because like government bureaucrats and Ugandan bankers we are looking to tick every box.

But those sorts of things dont tell you that opportunity is more transcendent than linear. That you can just start without a plan and figure things out as you go. That sometimes, your only job in the equation is to begin and let others who wouldnt, take over the planning and strategy because that is their forte. That more times than not, you have a better shot at success if you build off of the work and sweat of your ancestors than you will trying to go at it on your own, in the city. Visit Okere City, it will make sense. Then go back to your village and see what you can do.

Science fiction has never been quite like this.

In Season 3 of the critically acclaimed alternate-history series For All Mankind, the Apple TV+ series jumps ahead to the 1990s, creating a jarring kaleidoscope of retro-futurism and technological anachronisms. As series co-showrunner Matt Wolpert tells Inverse, You've got Bill Clinton running for president, and you've got a hotel in space at the same time. What world is this?

Because of the meticulous groundwork laid by its two previous seasons, For All Mankind suddenly feels like a very different show. Heres why series co-creators and showrunners Ben Nedivi and Matt Wolpert say Season 3 is so unique.

For the first time since For All Mankind began, the focus of the entire series has shifted away from the Moon. Instead, its all about the Red Planet.

In the shows alternate timeline, the space race didnt end in the 1960s. In Season 2, seeing a huge moonbase called Jamestown in the 80s was a novelty, but it also technically seemed possible. In Season 3, the technological differences between the 90s we remember, and the alternate history of the show are more staggering than ever.

In the very first episode of Season 3, Polaris, a fully functional commercial space hotel managed by Karen Baldwin (Shantel VanSanten) is orbiting the Earth in the year 1992.

It's not that it would have been possible in the actual 90s, Wolpert says. But it would have been possible in the alternate history version of the 90s.

So how does that work? Wolpert explains that because so many resources have been put into developing technologically, things got figured out earlier than in our timeline. In this version of 1992, private companies are producing their own spacecrafts. Wolpert likens this to whats happening in the private space industry today.

You see how fast and expertly SpaceX can fabricate their rockets now, he says. With Season 3, its a mashup of the past and the future.

Although the race for Mars is the biggest superficial difference in For All Mankind Season 3, the other new wrinkle is that its not just about the U.S. versus the U.S.S.R. anymore. In Season 3, tech mogul Dev Ayesa (Edi Gathegi) throws his ring in the hat with an independent aerospace group called Helios. At first blush, Dev is very much a cipher for Elon Musk, albeit one who exists several decades earlier in an alternate timeline. But its not that simple.

Everyone always says Elon Musk, co-creator Ben Nedivi says. Dev is a reflection of many different people. Steve Jobs. Jeff Bezos. Theres a commonality with a lot of these tech leaders. But outside of that, our inspiration was more about changing things up a little bit.

Up until Season 3, the basic conflict of everything thats happened on For All Mankind has been framed by a protracted space race. Along with producer Ronald D. Moore, Nedivi and Wolpert felt like it wasnt realistic, to continue to have the show focused on the U.S. versus the U.S.S.R. So they used history as their guide.

The 90s was when tech exploded, Nedivi says. So, it made sense that in a world where the space race was such a big deal, one of those 90s tech leaders would dedicate their resources, time, and energy toward the space program.

Jarring and fascinating anachronisms have become a staple of For All Mankind. However, its not actually why the show works. Instead, just like with the previous two seasons, its the journey of the characters. But, unlike other sci-fi shows, For All Mankind isnt just interested in characters in a vacuum. In Season 3, the show proves its moving toward telling a multi-generational arc about several families: the Baldwin family, the Stevens family, the Poole family, the Rosales family, and so on.

Is For All Mankind simply One Hundred Years of Solitude as alternate history sci-fi? In Gabriel Garca Mrquezs masterpiece, the reader sees how each generation changes because of what the characters do in each chapter.

We reference that book so much, Wolpert explains. Theres the idea of generations in that book, and how the children are impacted by the choices of their parents. And were seeing that now more with Season 3.

Casey W. Johnson as Danny Stevens in For All MankindApple TV+

The most obvious examples of this in Season 3 are Danny Stevens (Casey W. Johnson) and Kelly Baldwin (Cynthy Wu), each a second-generation astronaut or scientist, in a family who, at this point, we know very well. There's this evolution of society, and seeing that through a character and family was definitely an inspiration for us, Wolpert says.

So just how many generations are we going to see? Nedivi confirms that a seven-season arc is still the loose plan, and that, eventually, the timeline of For All Mankind would surpass our own. But, that doesnt mean they have every story detail set in stone. In Season 3, there are a few babies and very young children related to the main characters. Does this mean these characters could be grandparents in Season 7?

Yeah, we have to be careful about that, Nedivi says with a laugh. Like every character, we came up with that was a child, we're like, wait! This could be a series regular and a future season! It definitely makes things a little more tricky with the generational aspect. But I think part of the joy of writing the show and what makes it so unique on television is that were able to tell the story of people's entire lifetimes.

Ever thought you might want to take a day trip to the second rock from the Sun?

Well, you dont. Seriously. Venus is atoxic hellscape.

But it may have once been a life-supporting system, and a NASA paper published in The Planetary Science Journal reveals new details about an upcoming mission looking to shed light on how Earth's unwelcoming "twin" came to be. Ominously, it could even reveal how our sister planet came to die.

Slated to launch in 2029, the mission titled the Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging, or DAVINCI for short is immensely ambitious.

If all goes to plan, DAVINCI will not only involve the first US space flight to Venus since Magellan's death in 1994, but will also be the first US probe to retrieve groundbreaking chemical data from the notoriously unwelcoming planet's ultra-thick atmosphere and nearly 900 degree Fahrenheit surface.

The international space community has felt a renewed interest in the not-so-heavenly body over the past few years, and NASA believes that a comprehensive workup of Venus' present day chemical composition can help us understand our noxious neighbor's past if the planet was indeed inhabitable in the distant past, it would have taken a drastic event to trigger its demise.

Described by NASA spokesperson Nancy Neal Jones as a "flying analytical chemistry laboratory," the DAVINCI craft will perform a few fly-bys before sending a heat-shielded probe, equipped with five exploratory instruments, down to the planet's ultra-hot surface.

NASA is hopeful that DAVINCI's findings will help researchers determine whetherVenus ever sustained liquid water. The researchers also point out that the planet's uneven topography is suggestive of plate tectonics, which DAVINCI could provide evidence for as well.

"This ensemble of chemistry, environmental, and descent imaging data will paint a picture of the layered Venus atmosphere and how it interacts with the surface in the mountains of Alpha Regio, which is twice the size of Texas," said Jim Garvin, DAVINCI principal investigator, to CNN.

It won't be easy. Beyond the heat and the poison, the DAVINCI instruments will also face crushing surface air pressure. Scientists expect that the gadgets will only last about 17-18 minutes before meeting their doom.

Crumbling under pressure? Relatable! But despite a short-lived surface life, scientists are hoping DAVINCI will peel back the curtain on Venus' puzzling history and in the process, fill in some questions about our Pale Blue Dot's place in the cosmos.

"The ratification of the 13th Amendment promised freedom for Afro-Americans - at least, on paper. While many people believe that those promises of freedom have yet to fully manifest, Black people have still managed to tell the stories of struggle, joy, and the continued journey toward freedom. Hope you can join me to celebrate some of those musical stories on The Sound of 13."

-Garrett McQueenHost, The Sound of 13

If youre looking for a classical music program that addresses the racial injustice in our society through the lens of classical music, look no further. In The Sound of 13, host Garrett McQueen opens an historical and contemporary conversation of race with classical music and the 13th Amendment as the guide. This second season of the series will air Sundays at noon on KPAC 88.3 FM, beginning on Juneteenth (June 19), and will continue through September 11.

"I am super excited to share this program with the KPAC audience," says TPR's Nathan Cone. "I loved the first series, which was full of fascinating historical and musical discovery, and also led me to consider pieces I've known and loved in a new way."

Episode Listing:

ABOUT THE HOST: Garrett McQueen is a professional bassoonist who has performed with symphonies and in venues across the country. He is also an accomplished instructor and has performed in multiple Broadway musicals and television series.

In a mind-bending new paper, one researcher calculates that there are as many as four "malicious" alien civilizations in our home Milky Way galaxy alone.

According to the yet-to-be-peer-reviewed paper, by Spanish researcher Alberto Caballero, it's not a leap to assume that if aliens are anything like humans that is, if they're warlike and prone to invade the territory of others there's a pretty strong probability thatsome number would pose at least a potential threat to us Earthlings.

The first caveat, asVice notes in an interview with Caballero, is that the sole author of the paper is not an astrophysicist, but a conflict resolution PhD student at Spain's University of Vigo. He has, however, demonstrated acumen in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) field by publishing a separate paper in the University of Cambridge's peer reviewed International Journal of Astrobiology about the potential origins of the notorious WOW! signal.

Part thought experimentandpart game theory, Caballero's admittedly out-there paper is also interesting because of the way he reached his conclusions: by using a formula that takes into consideration how technologic advances seem to make civilizations less likely to invade one another.

By using known data about the ways humans have historically invaded each others' territories and comparing it to the number of assumed habitable exoplanets in the Milky Way, this alien-focused conflict resolution researcher deduced that although there could be up to four hostile alien civilizations in our galaxy, Earth is vastly more likely to be destroyed by an asteroid than to be invaded by bloodthirsty aliens.

"I did the paper based only on life as we know it," Caballero told Vice. "We dont know the mind of extraterrestrials. An extraterrestrial civilization may have a brain with a different chemical composition and they might not have our empathy or they might have more psychopathological behaviors."

That's a fair point. There's a whole lot of base assumptions going into Caballero's paper: first, that an extraterrestrial civilization would even be interested enough in humanity to invade us, and secondly that increases in technological advancements would make them less warlike and not more so.

But given that space peace between the US and Russia continues to hold fast amid the latter's US-opposed invasion of Ukraine, maybe it's not such a stretch to believe that if aliens think anything like us, their potential ability to travel the cosmos would subdue their bloodlust.

It's happening!Tiangong

China might be sending three of its astronauts into space as soon as the first week of June.

Yesterday's SpaceNews report said that the Long March 2F rocket was rolled out slowly to the pad at Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on Sunday.

The rocket had been on standby for just shy of a year in case it was needed for an emergency mission to the country's space station, and the three crew members are now headed to Tiangong to oversee construction. They're expected to stay on the 54-foot-long, 13-foot-in-diameter Tianhe core module for as long as six months while new modules are sent to the station to dock.

The crewed mission will be the third since April of 2021, when the first crewed mission blasted off.

China is basically banned from collaborating on the US- and Russian-controlled International Space Station, thus the need to launch its own low Earth orbit base for scientific experiments and space exploration.

However, there may be more collaboration in the future, since in 2021 Newsweek reported China expected to host international astronauts from Germany, Switzerland and others.

The ban isn't slowing them down though China previously said it plans to welcome tourist and commercial flights to the station. In March, the country said it'll have spots available within a decade.

A little competition is a good thing, but with Earth's orbit so full of space junk the ISS has already swerved to avoid Chinese satellite remnants, more stuff floating around could make for a bumpy ride.

Satirical in tone and tongue-in-cheek in its presentation, the absurdist science-fantasy Dr. Grordborts Scientific Adventure Violence is a Dungeons & Dragons adventure setting and sourcebook, first devolved by Greg Broadmore, an artist, writer, and director at Wt Workshop of Lord of the Rings fame in Aotearoa. Full of pulpy, old-school, retro-fiction images and ideas, the text lampoons colonizers, sexists, and toxic masculinity within its pages, creating an excessive and exorbitant world that is built to destroy those who seek to destroy it. And now you can visit that world yourself.

This stand-alone, ready-to-play adventure module is available for free by distributor Exalted Funeral, and throughout the year, more supplemental materials and additional adventures will be produced. And as you might expect from a book that had its basis in prop-making, the retro-futurism rayguns depicted in the pages of the book are available in real life from Wt Workshop.

Even Guillermo del Toro has called the ultra-violent steampunk worldbuilding of Grordbort a dazzling Uchronism that works both as a satire of our times and as a convex mirror for a future that never was. A violent, vibrant Neverland, witty and brilliantly realized, in a blurb he provided for the book Dr. Grordbort Presents Victory!, published by Dark Horse.

It's bittersweet.Slow 'Bine

It's a little bittersweet, but the UK actually produced more wind power than the system could handle this week.

Wednesday's Bloomberg report said a few wind farms in Scotland were asked to reduce output by 25 megawatts, or about as much as two average US households uses in a year. The finance pub says UK grids are having trouble coping with all the power their ocean and land wind farms generate, nor does the country have the ability to store large amounts of it in batteries.

Additionally, windmills can also shut down automatically to protect the machines from damage if they spin too fast in blustery weather like the winds that produced the power overflow. Bloomberg says the optimal wind speed is 33 mph anything above that can damage a turbine.

The news comes days after researchers said in a new study that humanity hasn't yet hit the right benchmarks to conquer interplanetary travel and life. We can't produce and store enough energy from Earth's multiple sources yet to power such travels.

That doesn't mean we aren't trying, though.

On Wednesday the UK hit an energy production peak that covered more than half of Britain's power needs, electric vehicles are becoming more accessible and as a species we seem at least somewhat determined to understand and harness nuclear power.

It might not seem like a huge sign of progress, but asking wind farms to slightly reduce production is probably one of many steps on the journey to make Earth sustainable we need energy productionandlong-term storage if we're ever going cold turkey on fossil fuels.

The UK Is Producing Too Much Wind Power, Actually - Futurism

Joc Pederson, #23 of the San Francisco Giants, hits a single in the eighth inning against the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park on May 29, in Cincinnati, Ohio.Dylan Buell/Getty Images

Years ago, I talked to a futurist about what sports would look like in 50 years.

I also asked a few academics. They were full of apocalyptic guesses (my favourite being that bear baiting and gander pulling were going to make a comeback).

The futurist had a whole utopian system worked out in the years to come, there would be no need for actual people in sports. Wed be rooting for huge robotic duplicates of famous athletes, playing on space-based platforms.

Ive had to cover baseball in Houston in August. The yawning emptiness of space sounds like an improvement to me.

It all seemed pretty far out at the time. But in the intervening years we have begun moving toward this sci-fi vision of what sports will be in our post-human future.

The latest example professional sports people who play real sports coming to blows over imaginary sports.

Had Cincinnati Red Tommy Pham and San Francisco Giant Joc Pederson decided to hold a public slapping contest in April or October, it might not have got much play. But its nearly June the beginning of MLBs slide into summer torpor and stories are light on the ground.

The broad strokes are this. Pham and Pederson had a meeting of the minds during a pregame batting practice. They did it on the field where everyone could see them. Hard words were exchanged, and then Pham slapped Pederson. A Will-Smith-style slap, according to one observer.

There is nothing sadder than baseball players trying to fist-fight. No one was hurt. Neither of the two guys involved are stars.

So this would not be as big a story as it has become had the reason for the fight not come out fantasy football.

Pham and Pederson apparently belonged to the same fantasy league, along with a bunch of other major-leaguers.

We all know that fantasy leagues are terrible. They suck up a huge amount of brain power that you might otherwise use to cultivate useful hobbies. They destroy the experience of watching sports because rather than watch a game, you spend three hours staring a hole in the one guy whos on your fantasy team. The more you stare, the stronger the football-repelling force field around him grows. And while most people are bad at fantasy strategy, everyone thinks theyre really good at it, which can cost you real money.

This is where sports is going sports about sports, just a lot more expensive, with or without robots.

So when you hear something has gone wrong in a fantasy league, no ones surprised. But actual swinging fists? Thats a new one to me.

Pham felt Pederson was cheating in the league. Pederson claimed the offending move putting a player on injured reserve and then slotting in a free agent is totally legit.

Pham countered that there was a lot of money involved.

Pederson agreed about the money, but said Pham made the same roster move that very week.

That was basically all of it, Pederson said.

But no, it was not basically all of it.

There was also the .gif Pederson sent to the fantasy-league group chat. That also upset Pham.

There is nothing less funny than listening to someone explain a joke. But there is nothing more funny than watching someone explain a joke like they are giving testimony at a war-crimes trial.

This is the role Pederson, downcast and speaking just above a whisper, was forced into.

It is true. I did send a .gif making fun of the Padres [Phams former team]. And if I hurt anyones feelings, I apologize for that.

Since the court needed to know more about Pedersons sense of humour before it could render judgment, he decided to show everyone the .gif on his phone.

It was, like, three weightlifters lifting. And, um, Pederson held up the phone.

The weightlifters, tagged with the logos of the Dodgers, Giants and Padres, throw kettle bells in the air. The Padres lifter gets brained by his.

Because they were a really good team. It was kind of making fun of how they were, ah at this point, Pederson pauses and seems to fully realize how ridiculous this is not playing well to make the playoffs, with a very talented team It was supposed to be lighthearted.

The comedic effect of this clip is heightened by a few things the mournful silence of the reporters on hand, the fact that Pederson looks like Dennis the Menace on dietary supplements, and that he has his baseball cap screwed onto his head like his mother slapped it on him as he ran out of the house. All these things combine to make this a pretty great episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. All you need is Larry in the MAGA hat lurking at the back of the scrum.

As a general rule, I enjoy a lot of aggro in sports. It shows that the millionaires out on the field arent just punching a clock.

But more and more, sports feels like high school. The tension isnt based on intercity rivalry or fan animus. Its a bunch of popular kids jockeying among themselves for social position, with occasional flare-ups when someones feelings get hurt.

Take the recent example of Josh Donaldson mocking Chicagos Tim Anderson by calling him Jackie (after Jackie Robinson). Thats mean-kid behaviour. Its got nothing to do with sports.

On the one hand, there is a sort of shameful joy in watching your physical betters make public knobs of themselves. And on the other, its just depressing.

Maybe thats the future my futurist saw. One in which we remove the pettiest human parts of our pastimes and get back to caring about things that dont actually matter, like who wins ball games.

What does Tommy Pham, Joc Pederson fantasy-football slap say about the future of sports? - The Globe and Mail

Some concerts are about reminiscing about that old-time rock n roll. Not with Our Lady Peace not on this tour.

The multi-platinum Canadian alternative rock band will be kicking off its Wonderful Future Theatrical Experience tour next week with a pair of dates on Vancouver Island.

The June 6 concert in at the Royal Theatre in Victoria and the June 7 date at the Port Theatre in Nanaimo support the bands latest album, Spiritual Machines 2, and singer Raine Maida said its exactly the kind of future rock album hes been wanting to make for 10 years.

Should this record sound like Spiritual Machines 1? I dont think so. Its 20 years later. Were a much different band, Dave Sitek is a much different producer and weve grown exponentially, Maida said.

He said the album has very rhythmic-oriented soundscapes and sound design, and said the band has tried to make the music new and fresh by introducing rhythms, instrumentations and arrangements that arent as familiar.

I think it still has the core of what we do, but we needed to get away from the rock n roll clichs that are killing rock right now, Maida said.

As with 2000s Spiritual Machines, Our Lady Peace worked with futurist Ray Kurzweil and incorporated his predictions into the record.

Its not like this dystopian, scorched Earth that film and TV want to present in terms of what the future looks like Maida said. Ray is very hopeful.

Maida said its fascinating to hear Kurzweils predictions about computings role in solving some of the worlds problems, especially after seeing how the futurist got everything right, basically, around the time Spiritual Machines was made two decades ago.

Now, Our Lady Peace is leaning into the future. Concert-goers will be greeted at the theatre by holograms thanks to technology so advanced that the band is under a non-disclosure agreement when it comes to discussing the tech. Audience members will receive a virtual playbill in the form of a non-fungible token as soon as they walk in.

Maida said NFTs hold appeal because they help create a different type of connection with fans. He said with social media platforms, artists growth is controlled and stunted by algorithms, and likes and follows arent transferrable.

Its the ability to have true ownership over your communities and as an artist, as a creator, I dont think we can afford to not pay attention to that he said. We can start building our communities for real.

Our Lady Peace wants fans to hear what Maida says is the best collection of songs the band has ever put together, presented alongside thought-provoking predictions, made memorable with holograms and digital collectibles.

And even as they play hits from 25 years ago like Supermans Dead, in which Maida sings about the world being a subway, they feel like they can glance back while at the same time embracing a wonderful future.

It really has come to fruition now. Everything just happens so quickly, right? That wheel spins so fast. We are on this hyper speed loop at this point, Maida said. So those songs, some people have asked me, how are you going to fit those songs? They actually fit. Not that I was any kind of a prophet but theres a lot of stuff that has a thread thematically.
