I love ending on that note in terms of our scanning. Yvette:Yes, trauma disorder or something. Of course, love can be used for evil, love manipulates people. I think you could do a whole episode on memes, which is would be really interesting too. These colored blocks and everything that the people in Borderlands brought, stool samples [chuckles]. what weve done up until now, its the equivalent of giving a three-year-old a set of matches and just leaving them unsupervised, you can burn the house down. Yvette: My name is Yvette Montero Salvatico. Frank: Life is, its Spiderman, life is, its Spiderman, with great power comes great responsibility. Theres lots of lessons embedded here in this experience. Its a very vicious circle because these are the individuals that also vote. Shout out to not just Clive, but everyone thats working in that field, especially over the last two years. Frank: I think you probably do because early on, we would really talk about educating capacity and biases and assumptions. He said that it was going to rain on my wedding and there was a hurricane. We may see more of that yet coming. People dont want to go back to the office. We always went-. Yvette: The risk response, the resilient response here is about cutting out devices, lowering screen time. It is on Vox. Heres the air quotes, again, you dont see me doing it, the alien for the problem when its not the alien thats the problem. Shes a neighbor. I think even people who dont know foresight very well, they saw this metaphor of what it means to think about the future, talk about the future, and how people feel threatened by that. This is probably our part right here in week three through this first idea of the zombie apocalypse, where were seeing probably for me, the heaviest thing of all and that is like, no, the answer is not to get rid of screens is to literally lean into it. Kedge. That leaves us with our last lesson. Yvette: No. Frank: Thats the gist of it. Of course, for those of you that are not aware, Biden is seeking to replace the term alien for a less dehumanizing term. The mall can even serve as a type of because you can get in the mall and feel like its too crowded, but we know were all there, the local mall to shop and have fun. Well, remember last week, and I think you were the one that were saying that science needs a hype man, and thats where these influencers are. Frank:We have. That leads me to my second point, its not just like, Wow, weve got this great resource, lets utilize millions of people on the net in this virtual space. Our metaphor for resilience was World War D. This ones more about, sort of reminds me of Raccoon City and that whole, like the zombie cure, Can we find a cure for this zombie disease? The service to fund we need a new word other than army writers, artists, poets, teachers, educators, speakers, brave and risk taking intellectuals and activists. One of the big futurists said to me sometime back, he said, You really hit on something with this evolutionary piece, because government hasnt evolved in forever. Well, the reason it hasnt is because we dont even have the perspective that it should. Frank: My name is the Fly and you are Carol Anne. We need intentional development of Metta skills. The first article I want to highlight is out of Times of India, June of 2021, Save us from idiot savants: Did COVID come from a Wuhan lab? Frank: Yes, it really did. Billions. The original Fly, he keeps a glove on his hand and a bag over his head and the lady finally goes, What happened? She rips it off and he has a fly as head and a fly hand. Frank: Thats right. Its a beautiful thing. Baked in this also is Bruno just telling people, if you dont change things, then this is what will happen. Yvette: Again were acknowledging the origins of the word. Yvette: -but didnt want to go that path because according to their religious beliefs they would end up as zombies, as undead. Its sending a message to the RNA to tell your body to replicate or to watch out for the spike proteins so that when it does come in, it will be able to fight it. Yvette: No, and its death definitely like a combination of things, as we know, going up and down the CLA module or model, you know that theres going to be systemic influences that push against it, and we definitely have a pop culture-driven image of what people should look like and feel. Thank you so much for these first seven months. Thats what that lone mad scientist As a matter of fact, I look forward to next week because weve got some articles that talk about some of the recent discoveries especially around designer babies and that kind of thing. Again, I think thats where you lean into your community, and the community that weve built around The Future School alumni and then even broader on Future Space is an amazing place to reach out. 1969. Yvette: We should all be Elsa. How do we actually use that collective input for policy development, demographic representation? I was starting off by saying Nichole was like, Thanks for the introduction to the company. It doesnt matter at the expense of what or whom. Many human activities can shrink biodiversity, including deforestation, pollution, and the introduction of invasive species. Its like, what is the transformation that were trying to achieve. Ive memorized what it says, that early on it says we can go into a group. Im sure that were here in the west and the United States in particular, thinking about what can we do? We need everyone involved in this process because theres a lot of work to be done. Women have also obviously entered into the sciences more and thats, of course, critical because we tend to ask more questions about relationships. We dont know. You did. You made our game really hard. Im thinking about, in my childhood, trying to find the license plate with Yvette on it-. Frank: I love that you brought in social neuroscience. He names in 2019, the first time that a group of people, three or four people ever got together, and without saying anything, all wearing a brain-to-computer, or brain-to-brain headsets were able to play a Tetris-type game together without saying a word or moving their hands or anything. Its actually [inaudible]. Best Podcasts Recommended by us. The response we got was, Isnt there free Wi-Fi at McDonalds? Right now theyre deciding in a way, flipping me back to your first article of youve got these conspiracy theories going on. Weve talked about that in other podcasts in the first collection, but we wanted to make sure people understood that whether or not youre for the wall or whether you open your arms for Afghan refugees. One of the top 50 women futurist in the world. It has nothing to do with Earth and the holistic thing, the cosmos has very little to do with that. Go watch it, and then come back to this. Before that, there are so many of these recordings that you could just make a television show series out of it. Yvette: I was struck by the difference really when my second child whos now 14 was really young and she was watching YouTube, or she had been watching YouTube and then she was watching [unintelligible 00:02:07] TV and shes like, Mom, I dont get it. Yvette:Okay then. Were just saying that it cant be held to just the rich, the white, and the male because I think we have There are many different ways to democratize discovery. One of the best ways to explain it is a fly, especially a dragonfly has these holoptic eyes or holoptic head, where the eyes are across the entire head. Frank: Yes. We can do this the right way and thats all about that. Can you imagine what really thinking about a global brain like this does to us spiritually? As a matter of fact one of the things that we had talked about in show notes was that our socio-economic status determines what you think is an A or an R or a T response to a situation. I think, foresight in general does that. In the US it may not be that case, but were still seeing a similar desire to curb things. If youve been to any of our programs, we talk a lot about this. I think related to this idea of people from the outside coming in and taking what is ours. We hope that the shoutout causes people to call on you and write you up and maybe get more involved in what youre doing there because what a great initiative. Lets put practices in place to make it more safe, et cetera. I would say that to some extent these tactics are helpful, social distancing and mask wearing. Thats why we have cell phones. Yvette: Okay. Yvette: Again, theres people way smarter than us on this topic. Its not the individual doctors or nurses-. You were like, Guess what? Dont be mad at space exploration, we need more of that. My kid goes to a great, great school. Yvette: I think that can definitely be something thats put into the infrastructure. Through the wicked opportunities podcast, what we do is we take real-world problems and we unpack them and we try to find weak signals in the environment that point to them and then we build strategy toward a more prosperous aspirational future and then talk about how you can innovate out of that. Otherwise we dont want to be in large groups if we dont know, if theyre all there. If you ever want to know what a society values and how they perceive things and what the hierarchy is, you can look to different economic statuses to see that. One of the struggles we have is that a lot of organized religion seems to be more focused on the subgroup of individuals they feel are going to hell, as opposed to A. There were Twilight and all of this stuff and books being written and it really represented the economics. Yvette: You just shared that quote, and its like all I could think about was the six podcasts or the six months of themes that preceded this one and how literally its each thing that we talked about the qualitative component, the long now component, the identity crisis component. Lets be clear. At the end of the day, theres this really interesting study that they did where they showed that homeowners worked against things that would benefit society as a whole. Were of the perspective that just because something is hard, doesnt mean its not worth doing. Yvette: Yes. Alien trope, literature, movies, and all, sometimes the aliens come to help us. Frank: They might not know through the pandemic, that about me at all. I can just hear them saying now, We were going to steal the future, if it werent for this meddling futurist on the Wicked Opportunities Podcast.. The inspector that was with you looked at me like, Say no more words. Yvette: Thats how we evolve. We try to link it to the content of the podcast. Frank: The way we build our cities, organizations, like you said, rewilding. Basically, theres no nursery rhyme that doesnt have some horrific racist, you name it, sort of origins. Yvette: -spelled the way that I wanted it to spell. It shouldnt be the word alien, calling another human an alien, but when you do that, its easy to dehumanize them. Frank: You have to wear all the hats when you own your own business, and Yvette tends to where everybodys hat regardless. Of course, curiosity is actually squashed through a single agent. Were going to continue down that path using that ART framework. What weve discovered over the last few weeks of tackling this issue is that really alien invasion is a fear of the unknown and a fear of uncertainty, which weve talked about is very meta as it relates to strategic foresight, right? Frank: Of democratized discovery. I cant wait for you guys to hear it. Dont say the quiet part quite out loud. Again, theres a great podcast in the first collection where we actually unpack this idea of VUCA being the enemy. Frank: -because both of them really are acting like we dont belong here. Frank: Michael Landon became famous before Little House on the Prairie for what? We see you next week for the next edition where well be mapping the future of anthropological regeneration. Yvette: Is it similar to like, if you and I went on TikTok? Yvette: The hiving concept, just so Im clear, this is the idea that when birds fly, theres not one clear leader. Pretty young, right? Yvette: By the way. Frank: The Primer, which is a shorter read about discover, explore, map, create. I was thinking even before we went into these scary moments from your childhood, and I know that you and I both had sibling Its high school and siblings. Frank: I couldnt agree with you more. Their offices were amazing. [00:13:36] Yvette: and nuanced, but I would argue that probably his first visions were too. Yvette: Yes, weve never seen that perspective before. Were going to talk a little bit about an experience we had where an engagement came to an unceremonious ending. Thats who you want, you want those change agents, the ones that are curious, the ones that maybe dont believe they have a gift, but youre going to unlock this ability within them. You see this when people creating forest cities. This is our year of free celebration, the year 2022, where were giving away free tuition to our global programs, free inspiration like The Wicked Opportunities Podcast, and free access to our natural foresight framework, which is now open source. Theyre the ones that are doing visioning work. Yvette: Excellent. Frank: Yes. Frank: -and teach. Yvette: I know what I was going to say. Frank: Tamarah is an amazing futurist and design professional who works for Slalom. Its super meta. I think its just the mood Im in today, but I cant help but think when you say all of that that foresight really is a kissing cousin. How does it physically manifest so that we can inspire you to begin creating this wicked opportunity future right now. Frank: Were showing you that the reason this is so popular is because we are trying to make sense of the world around us that often seems very alien and that we believe, is a good thing. They thought as a kid, if you bought the product, the commercial would stop. We came up with for the connect question. We should mention here that we didnt coin the term global brain. Yvette: Were excited to have you join us for the final week in our first month of the new collection where we really try to be like Scooby-Doo and his friends and unmask-, Yvette: -unmask the Monsters that have taken shape in terms of dystopian tropes and these tropes and narratives that we talk and share as a society become part of the zeitgeists-. Because foresight is, for a lot of businesses, become a 10-year game. Terminator and Mad Max, survival of the fittest, top of the food chain, you cant take it with you, you didnt stop to ask if you should. Well, slightly before, but around that time, when Star Trek was coming out to seek out new civilization, new life, brave new, strange new worlds to break a boldly go where no man has gone before. Yvette: The next step from walking a mile in a mans shoes is like if we were really able to see through someone elses eyes, that would be an amazing, amazing gift to be able to have. I used to not scan around policy, and then few years ago I started to. Thats why we didnt say alien invasion, anti-alien invasion. We pile in. Frank: Nobody learns from it. If youve been along for the ride, weve begun to create this new wicked opportunity future, which we define as anthropological regeneration. Frank: Yes. Fourth question in the five questions of the point of impact framework is produced. Frank: None of them are. The scanning we did last week was really helpful in helping to identify resilient, adaptive, and transformative responses. Its all about reading articles and finding those weak signals, not only the trends but the value shifts and then, as Frank said, with some of the features, well talk about some implications of the articles that were reading. I was thinking about it. Yvette: Yes. I think for some of us, it might be closer to the more push end. Actually the way we learned about neutrons is because of the context that it was learned in, and if you had learned it in the context of the Maori nation, or [unintelligible 00:41:55] had learned about it from South Africa, it still might be neutrons. Yvette: Its a really important skill within the futurist toolkit to be able to, number one, understand why something is the way that it is, unpack those ideas, and reframe them. I think one of the things that were going, this is the week where we really get to twist things and show you what we mean by global brain. The reason this is our product is because were saying that this will enhance the idea or lead to the opportunity of a global brain. Frank: I mentioned a few minutes ago that I know that everybodys thinking War of the Worlds because thats a really famous one. Frank: Im pretty sure that Im going to try to make sure that every thing that we talk about when we first start off the podcast has some Halloween relation to it. Frank: Yes. In the push, were being more reactionary, in this middle section, were trying to make a shift so were not just reacting to the response, were thinking more thoughtfully about how to avoid disruption and so in the way that businesses and governments have reacted, theyre like, Look, lets stop the bleeding. I hope youre as excited about this as I am. Frank: Its called social acceptance is vital to success of novel food technology. This is because its very difficult for us to imagine a life form that doesnt look like us. Clearly, when were talking about the global brain, were talking about a planetary information and communications technology network that interconnects all humans, becoming increasingly intelligent, and playing the role of a brain for the entirety of humanity. Frank: Were ending this collection by talking about thinking 10,000 to a million years, 10,000 years to a million years in the future. Its always about some corporation or organization doing that. Frank: I didnt give it away at first, but I said you might want to appear at the Museum of the Weird this October in Austin when we have the Future School live. Frank: Yes, thats right. Thats the key here. Until then, we hope to see you on future space. Yvette: Just look into it and make sure that they have the proper experience or credentials. In the film, obviously, the mistake that they make is they believe that they no longer have agency in the future because hes, whats the word? It was this idea of just redefining science or finding a new name for it. Again, theres great examples, Jack Andraka who made that huge discovery as a high-schooler and there are examples of this. Sometimes that leaves both parties feeling like they didnt get what they wanted. Yvette: -that were huge in influencing and helping them make their discoveries. This is exactly what we try to embody in our practice and our work. When we start talking about green energy, were getting there a little bit, I think, but theres so many things that we do that are like, Weve made this thing to look very unnatural and be unnatural and disconnected from nature. Thats why I was joking about that. Yvette: But you know what? I think her firm is called The Future Hunters. Frank: I believe you can too. Obviously, as we started the show off, you heard the music on Bruno. Know that I saw you in a hoodie or a T-shirt and you do really love that. A resilient response originally, was really about that core diversity. It does sound familiar because this skit represents the exact kinds of calls weve had from client. Frank: Exactly. Actually, yes. [laughs]. They were the ones that were predicting. When we think, Oh, this is a pie in the sky idea, were actually saying no, its a very complex idea. You one time told me, Well, she was a real-life person and there were books before there was a TV show., Frank: That she, Laura Ingalls Wilder, actually wrote herself. Look for those announcements later on this month. Yvette: Awesome. Its reached us and its outdated. We could have the this is fine dog. Here we are, week three, this is our mapping week, we love this week because-. Youre so smart. Were going to draw parallels. Great group-, Frank: Yes. To that, we say welcome. Frank: Right, no problem. Yvette: Something happened to the dad. Frank: I remember last week we had given a shout to Johana Lnkova and Clive, both alumni, of course, in Futures School and as you said, a client work as well. Its not a safe place from a privacy perspective. It is literally the zombie apocalypse. Well talk about it. The Futures School and the Natural Foresight Framework are registered trademarks of Kedge, LLC (dba TFSX), Everyday Foresight: Unlock Your Inner Futurist Being. Shes based out of New York. We do it with the wicked opportunity to further build out this world and make it a little bit easy for us to imagine how we can make this world a reality. Frank: Itd be great to hear the audience. They go like, Well, I guess we have to cover that with our military regime. No, its message. For decades now, youve been. You have a different memory than I do. Yvette: So good. I feel empty because we didnt say, hello, my name is Frank Spencer. What is that cultural representation that comes to mind? You look different, youre skinny. Frank: What are some other kinds of weak signals? We really are trying to pull that future, that Wicked Opportunity future of alien eyes to today. Frank: -of writers, and thinkers, but to do damage. Its great for tackling a big huge Wicked Problem like the zombie apocalypse, but its also great to just manage your day-to-day calendar, your day-to-day responsibilities to ensure were multifaceted in our decision-making, in our strategy making, that were going to be successful no matter what future comes. I feel like we might have stumbled across the Kedge costume. As youve heard us talking on the podcast before that theres a way to look at this, rather than just designing for a good way to go out, what we design for a good way back in? Can I just say that? Are we going to have anything in common with this thing. This idea of design fiction is something that has been in the Foresight field for the last, I dont know, 10 years, maybe longer, I dont know. I think at the end of the day, this idea of alien invasion versus alien eyes, Often the line of division between those two ideas fall in how you perceive your environment. What new narrative must be imagined to allow society to achieve a breakthrough transformational outcome in regards to this issue? Frank: Saying that 30-minute session is all were ever going to do with foresight. Were so blessed to have the opportunity and its still difficult to get her there, because it cannot compete with the excitement of her electronics and her technology and her gaming. Thats the key, because theres no way and if you remember last week, if you listened, you heard this article about the hive mind, its inevitable. There will be, as part of this weeks reframe, youll have access to our Diigo Outliner for this weeks or this month scanning. If you are a little bit older as one of our listeners, you know that television in the 60s, 70s, even 80s maybe is not even the same thing as television today and kids would not understand, they would not get it. [laughs]. Were so glad that shes one of our partners. Remember all the verses. Again, if this is not the work for you, if youre afraid to challenge the status quo, then maybe you dont really want to be a foresight professional. Yvette: Its really surprising, but for those of you that might not be aware, we have transitioned fully to a complete studio that allows us to facilitate not only our training courses but our consulting gigs as well. That transparency for ethical decisions and being able to get out of. It used to be Wiener Edgerton Brown. As a matter of fact, I would say more specifically designed fiction. Frank: The reason being is because we wanted to end on We hear that word Anthropocene and it carries with it today. Aliens kidnapped his sister. Yvette: About my inability to remember sayings? [chuckles]. If you want to learn more about the folklore and the history of Zombie and the history of that we can provide all of the links of our research and you could do further reading. Lets move on to our experience. In a way, Mirabel, I know weve already said, Aha. We had a big aha amongst ourselves if you realized that on the show, but thinking about it, she was a good type of futurist too. Frank: Hayride that we would go on every year when we used to go to LA every It seemed for a while there we were going to Los Angeles every October. I mentioned that again because we purposely didnt use the word Anthropocene in this. Well talk a little bit about, as we scan, what the article was about, but also what trends and values we see in each of these articles. You heard this almost way of Well, as a matter of fact, go back and listen to this again and you tell us what the reflection was. Even if you dont think you ever want to talk to a tree, I get it. Speaker 1: The Wicked Opportunities podcast has been brought to you by Kedge a global foresight innovation and strategic design firm serving the worlds most successful organizations to learn more visit www.kedgefutures.com. Frank: Thats heavy. Were already busy at work creating that for you and Im really excited about that one. Yvette: Again, if you want people to accept change in the form of vaccines or social distancing, or whatever it is, you have to incorporate their beliefs, their language into the DNA of the solution. Yvette:The grass is always greener or seems to be greener on the other side of the fence. Yvette: Yes. Its just something that happens, like we breath? Frank: Yes. Well circle back to that in just a second. You totally were dressed appropriately but the fact that you actually prefer, I dont know if thats still the case now one year into quarantine life, whether thats still the case, but Ive always been struck that you actually like when theres an opportunity to get dressed. Weve seen this before, weve been Bruno, we are Bruno, and we try to avoid Bruno as well, all three of those things. You actually do see the doctors say it comes down, this hand starts to move, he goes, Its alive. Then he turns to the people that were witnesses in the room and he says, Look, three sane scientists, one madman. He was suggesting that the mad lone scientist was more important than the collective wisdom of the established scientists. [00:15:52] Frank: He was prophesying and he was giving them visions.
