Futurists, humanism, and something like practicality

 


So some futurists that come to mind:


Asimov, Roddenberry, Huxley, Orwell, Herbert, Dick, Lucas

, a lot of Science Fiction, sometimes full of fear , but also

hope sometimes.

Brave_New_World    Star_Wars     Nineteen_Eighty-Four

I think many of these ideas are connected through  the idea of

humanism.  I guess there is a connection between the idea of

--- some kind of --- future and human beings.  Of course, 

there is quite a variety of science fiction " prognostication " and

some may propose a " future " without human beings.  You must

admit the idea of a future without humans might be a little more

difficult to imagine, or for sure, write about.


Of course, individually we have to deal with this notion of the

future because it is imminent , and pretty much we always have

to deal with it the best we can.   Rarely do we deal with it , like

30 years from now.  Sometimes even a couple of days is difficult.


So, even in practical (practicality) terms, there is something a bit

" idealistic " in the notion, which vaguely connects to the idea of

humanism, or some process of how, we connect with each other.
