The Spark That Fuels Tomorrow:
1: "The Spark That Fuels Tomorrow: Finding Motivation in Futurism" The futurism community is a rare breed—a collective of visionaries who don’t just ponder what’s next but actively forge it. You’re here because you see beyond the mundane, past the constraints of today, into a realm of possibility that others might dismiss as fantasy. It’s a thrilling place to stand, but it’s not without its challenges. The road to tomorrow is long, winding, and sometimes shrouded in fog. Doubt creeps in. Fatigue sets root. How do you stay motivated when the future feels like a distant mirage? The answer lies in tapping into the wellsprings of purpose, progress, community, and curiosity that define the futurist spirit.

Alchemy, Astrology, and Simulation Hypothesis
For most of my adult life I had dismissed astrology as junk pseudoscience without a second thought. Strangely I never once thought to question that belief or the source of it until much later in life when I encountered some writings which caused me to reconsider and examine the evidence for myself. Personally I love stuff like that, writings that make you question your most cherished or least examined beliefs, practices, thoughts, etc., and then requires you to justify them. This is how we grow and evolve as persons, by constantly having to justify the way we think, behave, act. And we must justify those things to others for sure, but mostly we must be able to justify them to ourselves. That justification must be strong enough to withstand the most potent of attacks and survive if it should be deemed good enough to build your own life around. For me the best method for doing this is the scientific method and so in my own life I use a modified version of what I do for a living, research science, as a way to mold/build what I hope is a justifiable life. Hypothesis generation, designing experiments (methods), evidence gathering, testing, discussion, and drawing conclusions, are the major elements of the process of doing science and they work quite well (at least for me) as a process for doing life. Of course, you will note that nowhere in my neat little tidy summary of how I have mastered life and how to live it did I mention the words feelings or emotions or any other touchy feely stuff. Nor did I mention that a huge part my life has been a disaster and a mess and full of pain and misery. I take some consolation in the fact that the vast majority of experiments do not “work” or are considered “failed”, so it should be no surprise that so are the vast majority of things one tries in a life full of experimentation. No doubt I just need to tweak my system a little more and it will be nothing but rainbows and lollipops from here on out. Lol!

Lions Don’t Ban Cheetahs Just Because They Run Faster
In the animal kingdom, survival is about adaptation, competition, and strength. Lions don’t ban cheetahs just because they run faster. They don’t wake up one day and declare, “From now on, cheetahs are not allowed to sprint faster than us because it’s unfair.” Instead, they evolve, improve their hunting strategies, and dominate in their own way.

Does The Design Industry Need to Do Better?
“For a lot of businesses, freelancers remain a dirty secret. Many companies are reluctant to admit they’re using independent talent — they won’t tell their clients that freelancers are working on their accounts. It’s a strange double standard,” says Matthew Knight.
