About us
It's not that we know the future, but we are interested in learning about current trends and how they may develop going forward.
What will your life be like 10, 20, 30 years from now? What is possible, probable, and preferable? How should you prepare? What will be the effects of trends that are developing now on your employment, family, health, and community? How will advances in science and technology affect economics, politics, culture, society, business, geopolitics, and more? What are the challenges and opportunities?
If you are interested in how the world is developing and what that might mean for the future, sign up for our Meetup, and you will receive notices of upcoming meetings.
These are the areas that are explored at meetings of Minnesota Futurists.

The Future of War - Russia, Ukraine, & Europe
·OnlineOnlineFrom 9:30 AM to 10:00 AM we discuss RANDOM BITS where anybody can bring information to the group that might be useful or important when considering the future. This week we will have a short annual meeting, after which the presentation will last until about noon. There probably will be some time for discussion.
The Future of War - Russia, Ukraine, & Europe
Ukraine is slowly destroying Russia’s economy & the Russian people are increasingly angry at Putin for letting that happen. He knows that if this trend continues he will be deposed & killed. To still win & save himself, Putin is planning a new large draft, increasing a massive campaign to terror bomb Ukraine into submission, & is committing acts of war on NATO countries to scare them into ending their help to Ukraine. These include drone incursions, sabotage of NATO airports & military facilities, & trying to assassinate key people, such as the CEO of Rheinmetall AG, Germany’s biggest military production company. NATO is badly prepared to wage modern drone-dominated warfare.
