Mushrooms might be the future of food
Mycelia are models for amazing things. Now Novozymes, a Danish enzyme and microbial technology provider, is asking folks to help it to develop new fungal mycelium proteins for a food-starved planet.
Democracies are in danger
A group called IDEA suggests that more countries are sliding towards authoritarianism, while threats to established democracies are greater than ever. (The first rule of futures studies is that there are no facts about the future.)
Singapore is smarter than everybody
Powered by civic leadership, digital innovation, and tech that responds to citizens’ needs, Singapore has been named “smartest city” by the Swiss Institute for Management Development. It’s a planet of civic laboratories!
Let’s get the metaverse right the first time
A California computer scientist and CEO of Unanimous AI argues that unless designed and deployed properly, the metaverse could be more divisive than social media and a threat to society—even to reality itself. That’s why we’re interested in creating the meta-meta-metaverse.
A cute little AV/car/buslet is coming for you
From Ollie to Zoox and beyond, the race for a market leader among anthropomorphic, on-demand, autonomous ride-hailing is on! (Please don’t fight, though.)
COVID: a cure for conspicuous consumption?
Just in time for the Holidays, a new survey of thousands of global consumers has found that nearly half say they realized during the pandemic that they have too much stuff. Hmmm… what makes life worth living?
