RE: Hire a Futurist / Futurologist Today!
This is the difference between theorists and engineers. If it were not for theorists, the engineers would still be redesigning the bonfire in front of the cave.
This is the first I've seen this, why specifically that theorists made the engineers redesign the bonfire not in front of the cave?
The theorists are the ones who envisioned the possibility of leaving the cave, building someplace to move to, a way to move the fire indoors and get rid of the smoke, use the fire to cook, make tools, electricity, et cetera, et cetera. I don't think they made the engineers do anything, but only the tribes with engineers who went along with the theorists plans were more successful, and out competed the others.
I think in a way most people are or can be theorists / futurists, since it's basically what we do having a mind that attempts to predict stuff all the time. Didn't know basic tribes back then shown clear differences between the engineers / theorists / people. What I thought was someone perhaps, built stuff differently and thought - "this is sweet, we could do more of these"
It's similar to the difference between prophet and priest. There won't be a clear division, just some people have more of one than the other.
Ah alright, of course! Thanks, I think it's fair to differentiate between engineering and theorizing :)
