It would be awesome have everyone that regularly posts claim a writing spot-
What would you want to see preserved or enhanced in the future?
For this event, a Future Claim comes from your personal imagination of a future world you love being a part of. What’s it like? Whether or not you feel the world is headed that way or if it could given our current course.
This can be far future or in a couple of years. It can be a bold idea, a quiet hope, a fear, or something you think more people should talk about.
You don’t need to be an expert. You don’t need to be a sci-fi writer. You can come with an unfinished idea or something you’re pondering.
Some examples:
“I love how everyone speaks openly about their mystical experiences of oneness with God, and we help each other integrate these awakenings with our unresolved psychological problems.”
“Jobs, family, and status don’t define us in the future I love. Instead, we’re defined by our character transformations.”
“We will treat grief as a kind of activism. Crying in public is revered again, like when you read about women beating their breasts in ancient societies.”
“I’ll see dozens of micro-homeschool pods as I walk around my neighborhood. Each running different experiments with different models of education.”
Not sure where to start? Try imagining yourself 5, 10, 20 or 50+ years from now, and finish one of these sentences:
“I’m so happy because ___.”
“Wow, I can’t believe [this incredible thing actually happened]”
“It’s so amazing that [x problem was solved by y]
“It’s so amazing that everyone now has [z thing that belonged to only the super lucky (rich, or dedicated)]”
Future thing not working for you? Try these:
“I hope someday we stop pretending that ___.”
“If we keep going this way, ___ will happen.”
“I believe we could build a future where ___.”
Then ask yourself: Why do I believe that? What’s at the heart of it?
That’s your Future Take.
