Podcast for Inquiry S01E23: Futures studies with Joseph Voros

Dr. Joseph Voros has been a professional futurist for over two decades. We discuss what futures studies is, and the challenges in recognizing successful efforts that prevent catastrophes. Dr. Voros describes the difference between probable, plausible, and possible futures, how to classify them and what we can do to increase the probability of bringing about a future that we (and our descendants) will want to live in. This episode is audio-only to respect Dr. Voros’ privacy.
