Armchair Futurists
A
discussion on http://plastic.com (how could I pass
up linking to a mention of Shockwave Rider?)
and a
posting on the Many-2-Many weblog reminded me that I
wrote (a little) about Web-moderated Futurist Communities
just over a year ago. The Many-2-Many link mentions PAM
(the DoD's "Policy Analysis Market" that drew a firestorm
of protest a few months ago), though I don't really see it
as being that different from some of the other "idea market"s.
But perhaps it's time to update my list, not that I've
been paying that much attention. The recent bloom of
social networking software is kinda related, but here's
the sort of futurist sites I'm talking about:
Ok, better stop now. It's getting silly.
PS, yeah, I'd say the
extropians are
validly related. Maybe even the
Viridians.
Definitely not
the
Lemurians, the
Jardinites, or the
Lambda-Illuminati.
