Future Perfect: Civilizations of Tomorrow - Isaac Arthur

The future does not happen on it’s own - it is born of
the narrative that humans create for themselves. Historically,
this has been the domain of science fiction authors and
filmmakers like Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, and Gene Rodenberry.
However, in recent years, fantasies about potential human futures
have become much more democratic. For this week’s episode we talk
to Isaac Arthur, a futurist who has spent the last eight years
thinking, studying, writing and making media about the
future.


On his YouTube channel, Science and Futurism with Isaac
Arthur, he presentes detailed analyses of the past in order to
get a better understanding of what the future holds. He brings a
unique optimism to the discussion of what will come on Earth and
beyond, what works and what doesn’t in democracy, and the best
ways for humans to tinker with their institutions.


Our conversation explores these ideas but also examines
the effects of increased population density, heightened
information connectivity, and interplanetary travel on human
civilization.
