EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Modern Wisdom, featuring Theo Priestley and Chris Williamson, What Will The Future Look Like? - Theo Priestley & Bronwyn Williams | Modern Wisdom Podcast 330 explores challenging Tech Utopias: Reclaiming Agency Over Humanity’s Real Future Theo Priestley and Bronwyn Williams argue that mainstream futurism is dominated by wealthy, older, powerful voices selling binary narratives of utopia or dystopia, which quietly strip ordinary people of agency. They call themselves “anti‑futurists” in the sense of being skeptical, pragmatic, and focused on questioning who benefits from any proposed future. The conversation explores how automation, warfare, transport, work, health, space travel, and AI may evolve—and how power, regulation, and culture will shape those trajectories more than technology alone. Throughout, they insist that the future is not inevitable or pre‑written; it’s a political and ethical choice that billions of ordinary people should consciously participate in.
