Looking at the Future
from the not-so-scary dept
MIT's well known Professor of Psychology, Steven Pinker, has a very interesting article about predicting the future. He talks about the way humans act, and suggests that the future might not be as scary and bad as many futurists make it out to be. As he says, many futurists should realize they're "scaring people to death".
