What we’re about
We share a deep and thoughtful interest in discussing the impact and future of the quickly advancing world. What are the possible applications of uniquely progressive social and political structures? This group is open to everyone, so please come along and bring a friend.
If you are unable to attend any meeting of interest, we try to record all of our speakers and make this available on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2Sq5reUuDgRB8oWPnYOt3A
Our aim at the Edinburgh Futurists is to develop a unique local identity in time, but for now will be loosely based on the successful models of the recently started Manchester Futurists and long-running London Futurists meetups. Examples of talks coming soon may include:
- AI & the Future of Business
- The Technological Singularity
- The Future of Politics
- Universal Basic Income
- Existential Risks Threatening the Future of Humanity
- Progressive Economic Reformation Systems
- Ethical Considerations of Artificial Intelligence
- The Future of Charitable Giving
- Living in Sustainable Cities
We are interested in any and many aspects and perspectives on what the future will hold. From Transhumanism to uniquely futuristic economic models and back again. In order to facilitate discussing these topics, we will begin this group with a series of monthly speakers preceded and followed by casual discussion on the topic.
