1 It's always fun trying to separate out the dumb from the desperate from the deceptive in any given futurological proposal.
— Dale Carrico (@dalecarrico) October 9, 20152 Most futurology engages ethical and policy questions, but disavowed or de-politicized through a facile recourse to the "technological."
— Dale Carrico (@dalecarrico) October 9, 20153 In turn, futurology is often driven by dreadful projects of "techno-transcendence" of human finitude, of mortality, error and contingency.
— Dale Carrico (@dalecarrico) October 9, 20154 Futurology functions as well as a meta-marketing discourse peddling corporate-military status-quo amplification as novelty and progress.
— Dale Carrico (@dalecarrico) October 9, 20155 Most reactionary politics are rooted in fear, require deception to prevail and inculcate habits of dumb thoughtlessness and insensitivity.
— Dale Carrico (@dalecarrico) October 9, 20156 These connections play out in futurological discourses and futurist sub(cult)ures, I find, as in most reactionary politics.
— Dale Carrico (@dalecarrico) October 9, 20157 Still, one never knows until one digs into a futurological proposal, whether the dumb, the desperate or the deceptive predominates in it.
