If you would like to support us, please pop over to "Go Fund Me" here - gofund.me/8d519bd5. Every £1 will be invested in maintaining and improving what we do here (software etc.). Thanks to @Everyone who has contributed already. #glasgow #glasgowapollo #musicinscotland
On #Futurebites at 9pm on Cotswolds Radio this evening we focus on the impact of perhaps the most important picture ever taken, “Earthrise”. There will also be some cosmic music, poetry and spoken word on tonight’s show. #scottspeaks #consultingfuturist #Perennialmindset
I could use your help reaching my fundraising goal for our work in keeping the memory of the Glasgow Apollo alive. Every single share and donation makes a difference. #glasgowapollo gofund.me/9ef4a596
In my keynotes and development events my aim is to help others navigate their futures with hope, anticipation and purpose. #scottspeaks #futurebites

New Radio Segment “Signals from the Future” to Explore Innovations and Insights About Our Possible Future(s). Fancy bringing my guest? DM me for details #scottspeaks #cotswoldsradio #Gloucestershire #business
This awful #Rwanda situation will become a lifelong embarrassment to @RishiSunak and our beleaguered country. Please wake up from this conspiracy of optimism and stop this (and #hs2 ). People are hungry and you are focusing on expensive vanity projects. #scottspeaks
Referencing Ai as a reason for the loss of thousands of jobs on @GMB @grantshapps Can you give examples of how AI has been deployed please? 72k is a lot of jobs!! It feels like you are using AI to excuse incompetence? #scottspeaks #ai #futureofwork
We need to regulate these technology developments. Leaving it to self regulation is simply ridiculous @GMB #scottspeaks #edgeofnext @beneltonlive #naturalstupidity
What a ridiculous use of technology. “On demand fire”. No wonder so many people are worried about the future. This is up there with the Rwanda nonsense. Stop it!! #scottspeaks #perennialmindset #Thermonator
On Future Bites tonight at 9, we will be asking “Can we predict the future?”. What’s your favourite prediction - good or bad? Music from Rainbow, Cry of Love, The Flaming Lips, The Temperance Movement and Nightwish. 🔮🧙🔬#cotswoldsradio
We don’t need predictions about the future - we need to pay attention to the future(s) that are already here #scottspeaks #FutureOfWork #Prediction #FutureOfWork

Tune in to #futurebites tonight on #CotswoldsRadio at 9 p.m. when I will discuss the remarkable new AI music generators. Here's a wee jingle for the show; 80s power ballad sort of vibe! What do you think? udio.com/songs/g7w2MFoz… #scottspeaks #perennialmindset @BBCGlos
Ponder this: “The perfect dystopia is one where everybody thinks it's a utopia.” #scottspeaks #perennialminset #escapevelocity
On Tuesday's #FutureBites on #cotswoldsradio, we will focus on the massive step AI-generated music has taken this week. Is this the end of music or is it the birth of a new creative era? If you are a musician or a music fan, be sure to tune in! Here’s an example #scottspeaks

@webmasterdave @OneSwitch You plan to have all of the species on Earth turned into vegans, is that correct?
@Scott_McArthur Here's the source of the transhumanist drivel: hedweb.com/abolitionist-p…
@Scott_McArthur This drivel is written by a professor with an academic post that probably pees him in the region of 65- 120 grand a year
All species on earth should be genetically re-engineered so that they can no longer inflict or experience suffering - according to an actual existing transhumanist manifesto. That’s 2.13 million species to be remade so they no longer eat each other.
Art is not about the ego. Through making & appreciating art we confront all the truths about ourselves that we hide from: We are not good, or better than others; we are lost and don't know why we're alive; we are going to die. The experience of true art can be devastating.

“Move slow and build things” is the antidote to Silicon Valley’s mantra: “move fast and break things”. An example is Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia basilica in Barcelona, approaching completion after 134 years of devoted work. Thx to EddNorval
"Reality Ahead of schedule." Syd Mead (1933-) is an American industrial designer and neofuturistic concept artist, best known for his designs for sci-fi films such as Blade Runner (images here), Aliens and Tron. He calls sci-fi "reality ahead of schedule"
"The history of Utopian Fiction proves that we can’t even imagine a better world...why should we keep on attempting to steer our existing societies towards a land we can’t even usefully imagine?" An article of mine on living without Utopia: areomagazine.com/2020/08/27/why…
This classic retro-futurist Utopian image was actually a 60ft wide mural in the Disney Epcot Centre. It was painted in 1983 by sci-fi illustrator Robert McCall (1919-2010). Called, "The Prologue and The Promise", it took 9 months to paint. It no longer exists today.
Walt Disney's Utopian EPCOT (Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow) was actually based on the plans for 'The City of the Sun' from 1602 (whether Disney knew it or not). This was a Utopian city envisaged by the Dominican monk, philosopher & heretic Tommaso Campanella.
Image by Enki Bilal (1951 -) - the French comic book creator whose images inspired Ridley Scott's vision of Blade Runner (1982)
For Blade Runner obsessives (like me) An editor has spent years re-creating the deleted scenes & shot trims - putting them back into the film according to the original film script and the designs of Syd Mead. World building galore. TRAILER: youtube.com/watch?v=TjPsC8…
Britain is stuck in a doom loop of poverty. With will and ingenuity, communities, charities, companies and government could work together to raise billions and rescue millions of people. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
WE - the novel by Yevgeny Zamyatin that inspired 1984 and the emergence of the genre of dystopian fiction. It was first published in English translation in 1924 and it has to be said- it's an absolutely bonkers book, written in breathless euphoric poetic prose.
