Lots of Great Presentations on the Future
The Coming Anarchy pointed me to this great site on "rethinking the future." I started with Peter Schwartz and I am working my way through them. Will make notes as I go forward.
Surprisingly, I am not as impressed as I thought I would be with Peter Schwartz (still have 30 minutes to go in the presentation). He is a "big" company/country strategist. His fatal bias: that they are the primary movers of the future. It's kind of funny, given that his presentation is about predicting surprises by eliminating biases.
Didn't know you had never seen the series. They are fabulous. The only one that is a bit of a pain is that by the Philippino General. His English is fabulous, but his choppy and strong accented speech makes it hard to listen. Enjoy! That site is a treasure trove.

I really liked the Coker speech, and will blog on it soon.
