The Limits to Growth Revisited returns to the original report with a scientist's insistence on mechanisms, not slogans - and with a warning that the hardest part of foresight is not calculation, but collective response. https://medium.com/predict/the-limits-to-growth-50-years-later-40df94dd6a2b
The Limits To Growth: 50 Years Later

The Technological Singularity is the most overconfident idea in modern futurism: a prediction about the point where prediction breaks. Over a dozen thinkers speculate on when it will happen and what it mean. FULL STORY: https://medium.com/predict/the-singularity-everyones-certain-everyone-s-guessing-2dfa68adc516

Dr. Salvatore Pais doesn’t pitch a theory so much as a provocation: what if creation isn’t a one-time explosion, but a repeating physics process — an engine that cycles, resets, and bootstraps intelligence as naturally as stars ignite? https://medium.com/@timventura/the-triarchy-of-creation-salvatore-paiss-cosmic-unification-56172124cbc2

Sixty-four days to Mars isn’t a slogan—it’s a design constraint disguised as a destination. In Layla Mohsen’s telling, PSS Direct Fusion Drive isn’t chasing speed for bragging rights; it’s chasing speed because deep space is a slow poison. https://www.altpropulsion.com/direct-fusion-drive-to-mars-the-starfire-architecture-for-fast-human-transit/
Direct Fusion Drive to Mars: The Starfire Architecture for Fast Human Transit - Alternative Propulsion Engineering Conference
