Technological progress happened too slowly for individuals to have to plan for it and the global catastrophes of the day like the Black Death couldn't be planned for anyway. There was either nothing to prepare for or nothing you could do to prepare, so our ancestors never had to invoke Futurist Planning. The situation is very different now though. Technology advances from year to year and people are starting to understand that they have to prepare for and even anticipate it. We also have much more information than we used to, which allows us to plan our individual lives better for global catastrophic risks. I think it's the responsibility of all of us now to use Futurist Planning and adjust our long-term plans accordingly. |
