Review of Future by Design (2006) by Matt O — 02 Dec 2007
Covers the ideas of jacque fresco, a futurist, social planner, research engineer, etc.. it popped into my head that the situation where his ideas might have the most traction is a post-apocalyptic scenario, where the current institutionalized system of social incentives collapses and people are forced to confront the unsuitablility of our current decision-making processes.
there is alot of stress on resource management and automation. but the biggest change is clearly social where fresco envisions the realization, by all, that subjective "opinions" are inadequate for decision-making and reason, logic, fact and humanistic values must necessarily triumph.
clearly we are not there yet.
