<p>A place to discuss the ideas, developments, and technology that can and will shape the future of civilization.</p>
<p>Tenets:</p>
<p>(1) Concepts are often better treated in isolation – eg: “what if energy became near zero cost?”<br />
(2) Consider the law of unintended consequences – eg: “if this happens, then these other systems fail”<br />
(3) Pseudoscience and speculative physics are not welcome. Keep it grounded in reality.<br />
(4) We are here to explore the parameter spaces of the future – these includes political system changes that advances may trigger. Keep political discussions abstract and not about current affairs.<br />
(5) No pumping of vapourware – eg: battery tech announcements.</p>
