Posting Rules
  1. Be respectful to others - this includes no hostility, racism, sexism, bigotry, etc.
  2. Submissions must be future focused. All posts must have an initial comment, a Submission Statement, that suggests a line of future-focused discussion for the topic posted. We want this submission statement to elaborate on the topic being posted and suggest how it might be discussed in relation to the future. AI-focused posts are only allowed on the weekend (Sat/Sun US time).
  3. No memes, reaction gifs or similarly low effort content. Images/gifs require a starter comment.
  4. No spamming - this includes polls and surveys. This also includes promoting any content in which you have any kind of financial or non-financial stake.
  5. Bots require moderator permission to operate
  6. Comments must be on topic, contribute to the discussion and be of sufficient length. Comments that dismiss well-established science without compelling evidence are a distraction to discussion of futurology and may be removed.
  7. Account age: >1 day to comment, >5 days to submit content
  8. Submissions and comments of accounts whose combined karma is too far in the negatives will be removed
  9. Avoid posting content that is a duplicate of content posted within the last 7 days.
  10. Text posts need to encourage in-depth and detailed discussion. Avoid generalized invitations to discuss frequently discussed topics. Submissions with [in-depth] in the title have stricter post length and quality guidelines
  11. Titles must accurately and truthfully represent the content of the submission
  12. Support original sources - avoid blogs/websites that are primarily rehosted content
  13. Content older than 6 months must have [month, year] in the title

On Futurology

If history studies our past and social sciences study our present, what is the study of our future? Future(s) Studies (colloquially called "future(s)" by many of the field's practitioners) is an interdisciplinary field that seeks to hypothesize the possible, probable, preferable, or alternative future(s).

One of the fundamental assumptions in future(s) studies is that the future is plural rather than singular, that is, that it consists of alternative future(s) of varying degrees of likelihood but that it is impossible in principle to say with certainty which one will occur.
