I thought to try out a technique inspired by the methods I teach in a strategic foresight and analysis course in the university that is derived from military intelligence.
It basically asks the question: What evidence would you require to change your mind?

The information channels are overrun with click-noise. We are not given much of a chance to engage and learn from constructive debates that should inform our policy opinions. We are bombarded by partial messages that confuse, divide, and disempower us.

I made a foresight tool selection tool based on a paper. I'm wondering what it might be good for and who might use something like this and when. Give it a try - I'd love some feedback: form.typeform.com/to/wF2kHTK3 #Resilience #futures #preparedness

What if Canada set import tariffs against the USA at 2 different rates - one for products coming out of red states and another for products coming out of blue states?

A new paper just built a much-needed bridge between the #sustainability transition literature and futures and #foresight science.
The Multi-Level Perspective and Voros' futures cone are linked not only the literatures but also by visualization. A much-improved composite: lnkd.in/dbN6-N7C

Over the holidays I traveled from Denmark, where I live, back home to the United States. Before leaving, I was apprehensive about discussing American politics with friends and family, knowing that these conversations can quickly spiral out of control and strain relationships.

Here's a paper presentation on geoengineering in an age of global wierding - a great watch for new researchers. Let's scale up experimentation and effects measurement fast while a global dialogue on the subject and the science runs in parallel (in case). @jfsfutures.bsky.social youtu.be/4tG5RrAQ4Ys
