A re-envisioning of futures based on the shape of things today…
dealing with 21st century problems
cognitive biases
new tools for collaboration/understanding/shaping
that people (all of them) create the 3ture
understanding
harnessing
realizing

Expertise in forecasting can also be problematic

Despite all this,
We just need to figure out how to do it better…
we MUST think about the future
![Page 9: Summary of "Futures 2.0: rethinking the discipline" by askpang](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051313/548bbcaab47959fb0c8b61e1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Enter the tools…
Social scanning | prediction markets
For dealing with the compl8 3ture…
For evaluating methods and impact…
For shaping the co-created 3ture…
bias mitigation | ethnographic studies
Choice architecture and nudges
![Page 10: Summary of "Futures 2.0: rethinking the discipline" by askpang](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051313/548bbcaab47959fb0c8b61e1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Social scanning
harnessing current scanning efforts
them with algorithms
aggregate, collective results to the greater community
would shi9 from a private activity to a public one
massaging
delivering

Prediction markets…
are kind of like a De/phi, but different
present some challenges for use by 3turists
are a forecasting technique based on market economics
![Page 12: Summary of "Futures 2.0: rethinking the discipline" by askpang](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051313/548bbcaab47959fb0c8b61e1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Futurists need tools that help
Mitigate the cognitive biases
“better anticipate the 3ture by more objectively engaging with [our] own pasts”
that plague 8pertise

A quick aside for cont8t…
IARPA’s Aggregative Contigent Estimation (ACE) challenge
![Page 14: Summary of "Futures 2.0: rethinking the discipline" by askpang](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051313/548bbcaab47959fb0c8b61e1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Ethnographic studies
:e “not about being right, but use3l” phil.ophy is hard to stomach if you
don’t really know what use3l means.
could help us understand how forecasts are used
![Page 15: Summary of "Futures 2.0: rethinking the discipline" by askpang](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051313/548bbcaab47959fb0c8b61e1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
When well-designed
Choice architectures and nudges
and reach better 3tures
present choices in ways that can
Help people make better decisions

:is paper is really one take on
The future of futures and a pretty interesting one at that
![Page 17: Summary of "Futures 2.0: rethinking the discipline" by askpang](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051313/548bbcaab47959fb0c8b61e1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The new tools could help us get at some pretty important things for the field…
assessing the importance of accuracy
cognitive biases
the various strands of Futures
“take thinking about the 3ture out into the world, and make it more of an everyday activity”
Countering
uniting
![Page 18: Summary of "Futures 2.0: rethinking the discipline" by askpang](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051313/548bbcaab47959fb0c8b61e1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The Challenge of Futures 2.0:
How do we help people
for themselves? Create better futures
![Page 19: Summary of "Futures 2.0: rethinking the discipline" by askpang](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051313/548bbcaab47959fb0c8b61e1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Reframe how we think of Futures
Not production of t8ts about the 3ture…
social practices and performances creating 3tures
![Page 20: Summary of "Futures 2.0: rethinking the discipline" by askpang](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051313/548bbcaab47959fb0c8b61e1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What is our role then?
Futurists as
compl8ity | long-term perspective | creativity Choice architects
