RE: How to think about Steemit.com and navigate it...Lessons from "New rules for the new economy by Kevin Kelly"
Great article @the-traveller!
I will have to read the book for sure. I'm currently taking a little break from reading futurist/futurism related to books to learn more about blockchain and ethereum. So have added it to my to-read list.
cool, with a name like futurist gear, can't not read Kevin Kelly!
That's true! We're actually friends on FB unless I'm mistaken.
I'm still fairly new to the community to be honest, and have been playing catch-up somewhat. :-)
I learn quite a lot by studying topics, then updating pages on https://hpluspedia.org
that'd be too funny that we'd be connected already on Facebook, send me a message there please to see if it's me! great link! bookmarked!
I was referring to Kevin :-D, but we could well be connected on FB, I'm friends with a lot of futurists on there.
Ah that makes more sense :) would be cool if you could point me to others that I should pay attention to!
Sure! You may know some of these already, but off the top of my head;
Gray Scott and B.j. Murphy, the guys behind SeriousWonder.com, Miss Metaverse, Brett King, and Isaac arthur.
Probably a more too :-)
Aha treasure trove! Don't know any of them!
I have been mainly following
Peter Diamandis (very techno optimist Bold and Abundance books, good antidote against doom and gloom media)
Gerd Leonhard
Tony Wagner (looks mostly at education, I find it interesting to see what he doesn't talk about, who is going to help existing professionals through this transition?)
Dan Pink (focusses more on the human side in the future, "A whole new mind" is what I based this article on
Hans Rosling (how not to be ignorant about the world, he shows that you need to watch trendlines not headlines)
James Altucher weirdly enough, he writes about alot but also is really into the concept of the idea economy. He has a more practical view on it, seeing from business how things have changed. Interesting perspective, he has been at rock bottom several times in his life and when you read his writing first he sounds like a screw up but I find him to be very reflective and provocative
I know of a few of those, Diamandis is obviously a pretty well known guy.
I've read quite a lot of Michio Kaku's and Kurzweil's work too.
Nick Bostrom is another one who is also very interesting.
