Our Centaur Future - A RADAR Report
As Ari Melenciano, a recent guest speaker at RADAR’s Into: Our Centaur Future, has written: “We’re currently unaware of many aspects of our own psyches yet are automating its design through technologies. The better we know ourselves, the better we’re able to design systems, technologies, lenses that intentionally empower our lights vs. blindly perp... See more

the disintegration of shared narratives may risk a loss of collective memory and identity, but it also opens the door to a broader and more equitable representation of diverse histories and experiences. In recognizing the historical context of centralized narratives, we understand that while the scale and impact of narrative fragmentation are novel... See more

What is the value of work in a world on the cusp of automation, and how will humans redefine their relationship with it?
Our Centaur Future - A RADAR Report
Work isn’t valuable. People are. People can set a value on the work that is done, therefore, they are the most valuable piece of the equation. Work for the sake of work has no value.
Quantitative indicators — faulty proxies for qualitative truths — are our primary measure of success, and considerations of life beyond our own have, until now, been largely absent from our day-to-day decision making. What magic might unfold if we just adjust our aperture? And what’s at risk if we don’t?

generative AI is but the latest in a line of innovations that draws attention to the flaws of the modern education system, leaving us to question how well it's preparing us for the quickly evolving and increasingly turbulent future ahead. Could this be the final straw? The key to unlocking re-evaluation of our educational philosophies at a massive ... See more

In a world where multiplayer mode is the norm, we transcend the traditional boundaries of collaboration, extending the concept far beyond gaming or professional teamwork to reshape the very fabric of society. Maybe then, they’ll start building statues of groups of people (and include our more-than-human co-conspirators, too)

So, if cooperation and collaboration has been key to our survival and some of our most impactful innovation, why is it so hard?
One of the biggest culprits is the pervasive influence of zero-sum thinking. While commonly associated with Western capitalism and competitive markets, it’s not an exclusively Western artifact. Civilizations across the glo... See more

From the return of co-living spurred on by the increasingly realized benefit of living close to friends and family, to the growing presence of grassroots community initiatives like Neighborhood Trade School, mutual aid fridges, and community gardens, it’s clear that we’ve begun to recognize the potency of solving problems with collective solutions ...

The better we know ourselves, the better we’re able to design systems, technologies, lenses that intentionally empower our lights vs. blindly perpetuate our shadows.”

Damn, this hits deep. I love this so much.
Each technology not only unlocks a new state of expanded acceleration (that will be hardcoded into our lives as the new basis for our survival), but will also be used as the basis for new technologies to continue that process. The vast majority of people do not experience this technology as ‘liberating’ them. Rather, they experience it as something... See more

Because we don’t think about valuing the work to be done in the future, only the work to be done now, we don’t give people space to explore what the future holds. Instead, we stress people out by giving them vague possibilities of an uncertain future with no time to explore them. By giving people the time, space, and freedom to explore what the future might hold, they will find abundant futures that are bright and exciting. Those are the futures they will work to actively create.
