Chat Version: Your Perspective on the Future - 2025 Take this survey powered by surveymonkey.com. Create your own surveys for free.

I’m curious about how people imagine the future. Do you see it as possibility, uncertainty, opportunity? Who do you listen to when it comes to what’s next?

I made a short survey to collect perspectives — would love to hear yours: www.surveymonkey.com/r/9RQ6LBB

Does anyone else have freaking calming pet music on for their anxiety prone dog and have forgotten what techno sounds like?

TFW I'm heads down in a cybersecurity document revision and come across my mislaid hard boiled cop research for my musical in development in the same folder. Sure I'll take hard boiled cybersecurity cop vibes!

How am I coping with reality? Spending time with my past self. Just hit my writing goal for the week and we're 13k words into this thing. #52prompts #amwriting

Down in/near Anza. early reports 5-6 level

Felt that lil baby #earthquake out in the hi desert. East Coast HB is sad he didn't feel his first one.

Finished my weekly writing word count, celebrated with coconut cream pie by the amazing Chef Matt. Got feedback on my chapter on Future Security Threats & been working hard getting sponsorships for Diana Initiative. Feels like a good week, even if I didn't do any paid speaking prospecting.

Wow. What a morning to be alive in!

Yes, that’s one of my fav gins for a gin n tonic, but I find it has more personality than I want for a vesper (I like clean with hint of lemon) or even French 75 (let the good champagne shine through).

It is, however, also great in a corpse reviver 2.

Genius reminding him he fired people for sport.

Gordons Gins is really necessary for a good Vesper.

What is your favorite #vesper recipe?

#cocktailbluesky

These are great.

Actually that’s perfect. I’m also thinking Palm Springs (we’re doing it in Joshua Tree).

Also what are some good movies for a bachelorette weekend?

Me: this is a really delicious French 75. You used that new French champagne? How much was it again (me expecting it to be like $20.)

Husband: (sheepishly) $55

Me: Damn straight this better be the best French 75 I ever had!

(It really is delicious.)

Whenever you welcome guests, treat them with kindness, grace and respect. Simple as that.

I came across the phrase “China wants to be US and Russia wants to destroy US” while research the Future of Espionage chapter of my spy book. I think about that phrase almost every day.

I think both have now succeeded. 😭😭😭

The end of an era.

😭😭😭

Dear Volodymyr Zelenskyy, dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone.

Of all motherfuckers, I can’t believe the country is going down with this motherfucker.

I am embarrassed to be an American.

Good thing I consider myself an Angelino first and a Californian second. I’m so sorry world.

Excellent Music! #HostileGovernmentTakeover Now on iTunes! www.instagram.com/reel/DGRyql4...

Spoiler alert: #severance is the MacGuffin.

Thought of the day: #deepseek is a reflexive control attack on the techbros.

Guanxi over IP The Role of Counterfeiters in Innovation

All the #deepseek drama reminded me of my 2020 piece on the role of counterfeiters in innovation. medium.com/in-present-t...

There's only millions that lose their jobs & homes & sometimes accents
There's only millions that die in their bloody wars, it's alright
It's only their lives & the lives of their next of kin that they are losing
Don't worry, shut up, sit down, Go with it & be happy

FWIW, I've never seen anyone do that - rank future scenarios in order of preference for positive human innovation. But that's just how my brain thinks.

I love/hate my brain. I was almost done w/ this writing today & then thought, let's do a comparative analysis of these 12+ scenarios, identify key change variables, identify the new threats each one increases (or decreases) & rank them in order of preference for positive human innovation.

Hi Saeed! My 2025 power animal is the Moose, so I'm here to learn all about her.

But why hastag MooseProof? I want to _embrace_ my inner Mooseness. Thanks and see you on the Mooseful timeline.
