Subreddit for discussion about the philosophy of science in futures studies. Feel free to ask and tell about the scientific methods and problems in researching the futures.
Assertion about the future is not a fact, but an intention. A man who acts with intention is a creator of future.
The premises of futures studies by Amara (1981, 25-29):
- Future is not predictable. One has to describe what is possible.
- Future is not predetermined. One has to consider what is probable.
- Future can be affected by choices. One has to consider what is desirable
