This guy is real, respected worldwide, and offers up some amazing insights by synthesizing info from a broad variety of experts

The TechCast Project is an academic think tank that pools empirical background information and the knowledge of high-tech CEOs, scientists and engineers, academics, consultants, futurists and other experts worldwide to forecast breakthroughs in all fields. Over 20 years of leading the field, we have been cited by the US National Academies, won awards, been featured in the Washington Post and other media, and consulted by corporations and governments around the world. Now that a flurry of good forecast material has become common, TechCast is being transformed into a 2nd generation stage – TechCast Global 10.0. We continue to provide forecasts, but TechCast is shifting its strategic focus to assisting in all aspects of strategic foresight.

Futurists/ academicians are all over the media. I listen to a Podcast about the US CONSTITUTION vis-a-vis current and past decisions, featuring a YALE Professor who is considered to be a constitutional expert. It's interesting. I don't listen to it eating up every word. I listen to it to pick up any actual facts that I can... and in order to see where left leaning academicians "are coming from" with regard to SCOTUS decisions.

On a recent episode, they interviewed a left leaning ivy league academician who was bashing the republican congress over holding up the next debt ceiling raise...yet he thought that the current national debt was 15 tril when it is actually 31. The host had to correct him. These guys can be seriously flawed. The more political bias, the more likely the flaws. I stress that he was an ivy league academician currently employed.

At this time, I don't really feel the need for any new self-promoting expert futurists, who display an explicit political bias.

Thanks anyways,
Marty
