The Future You Avoid Is Riskier Than the One You Face with LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman
Manage episode 506646626 series 2702916
The future is something we create, not just something that happens. To guide progress toward real good, we need bold, optimistic visions of what society can become.
Reid Hoffman makes the case for better science fiction - stories that don’t just entertain, but illuminate the futures we can strive for. As a serial entrepreneur and cofounder of LinkedIn, Reid brings a unique perspective on how storytelling shapes technology, society, and innovation. He argues that imagining optimistic futures is essential if we want to create them.
In this episode, we also explore how technology like AI is changing the way our brains work and how our faculties will evolve, why humanity has shifted from focusing on external threats to internal ones, and how optimism isn’t blind faith—it’s a clear-eyed strategy for shaping a better world.
This is... A Bit of Optimism.
