Do you understand big trends in what will shape the future? AI, Genetic Engineering, precision medicine, etc.

Do you think it's more important that students and scientists understand the big trends in the world to accurately choose a meaningful role in society?

It seems like a lot of people have false-future knowledge like the idea of peak oil hitting us in 2005 or things like global warming. A lot of predictions of the future are completely wrong or stupid which leads to bad decision making

Should futurology be considered more important?

if the upsurge in Vinyl Records tells us anything, the big trend to come will be a full return to analogue in search for authenticity. look forward to rotatory phones / land lines, mechanical watches, typewriters, CRT TVs with bunny ears, and so on.

No. We need chumps to fund colleges with tuition and stay out of the job market once they graduate. Leave the decision making to me.
