I’m in the Bay Area for today and tomorrow as the IFTF invited me to check out their annual forecasting event where future minded business and government leaders get together to talk about what’s ahead. The agenda this year revolves around truth and how to trust systems and institutions when data and what we used to conceive of as “real” before our very eyes can be so easily manipulated.
I am here to investigate further and meet people to talk about my first big area of inquiry in the 2050 project, which is the human body. We are going to do this reporting in chapters, and I’ll start from a human and then work outward, to human-human connections (love), and the human-human-human (community, cities).
One of the big topics that’s coming up is biohacking; with CRISPR and the like. Silicon Valley is home to something called Biocurious, a community of hackers who pool their resources to share lab space and information.
