Which issues should futurists prioritise (Twitter Space)

Which issues should futurists prioritise? For example, which areas of life are most in need of creative new scenarios? What technologies will cause the biggest disruptions? Are new existential "landmines" lurking in the undergrowth? What are the brightest opportunities ahead, provided we pay them sufficient attention? And which principles and values should guide our prioritisation?

These are topics suggested for discussion at an experimental gathering of friends and members of London Futurists on a Twitter Space, from 7pm UK time on Tuesday, 18th January.

Note: Twitter Spaces are online audio discussions, without video feeds.

The event will take place online at https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1yNxaYwqPPlxj

Anyone can listen live to the discussion, without registration. If you want to add your voice into the discussion, you'll need to connect via the Twitter app on a mobile device.

Up to 13 people can have their microphones live at any moment. That's the main host, two co-hosts, and up to ten other speakers. People listening on a mobile app can ask to be given one of the microphones. The hosts control which participants have microphone access at any one time.

The meeting will be recorded and will be available for replay on Twitter for another 30 days.

If this experiment is a success, London Futurists may commence a regular series of similar Space events. Choosing the seed subjects for these subsequent discussions will be one of the topics in this discussion.
