🤔How can we fundamentally redesign our approach to tomorrow?

😬Are we trapped in a cultural doom loop that forces us to fear the future instead of dreaming of a better one?
🎙️This week, futurist @AriW joins TPN founder @zacharykarabell to examine why modern society defaults to short-termism and how we can fundamentally redesign our approach to tomorrow.

“America will never be good again.”
“We’ve lost the war against China.”
“The robots are going to kill us.”
My main issue with blackpilling is that it is entitled and lazy: Rather than work to address any of the world’s many problems, one can declare it all just too impossible—a clever trick that leaves more work for the rest of us. What’s even worse is that this terror is contagious. It’s one thing to let fear colonize your own heart; when you say it out loud to others not as a question but as a statement, you are infecting them with your disease, spreading demoralization as far as your words can go.
But wait, you say, it’s normal to be afraid. We’re living in an era of one dramatic, often traumatic, event after another. How else are we supposed to understand this?
Simple: You’re in a wilderness.

“We believe that outstanding protopian stories can give hope and contribute to popular culture by kindling a sense of new possibilities worth fighting for, especially for younger people. These stories are deliberately provocative in challenging us to imagine interesting, plausible, and possible futures worth working toward and fighting for. AWA has a strong pedigree of publishing unique, creator-owned stories that allow readers to immerse themselves in new worlds…We believe audiences will see some of themselves in the characters and what they contend with, and ultimately, feel inspired and optimistic after reading the range of titles that make up this collection.” – Kathryn Murdoch, Co-Founder of Futurific Studios (and Co-Writer of GAYA, the fourth title from THE PROTOPIAS COLLECTION)

Why is so much near-future science fiction always so bleak? Maybe the future will be hopeful, not dystopian – and that’s what you’ll find in our new original sci-fi anthology series, THE PROTOPIAS COLLECTION, which we’re publishing in partnership with @KathrynAMurdoch and @AriW’s @FuturificStudio.
This series explores the many possible futures that can come to pass as our heroes fight to make the right choices in imperfect realities. The anthology combines a collection of self-contained graphic novellas that explore the spirit of “protopian” thinking: futures that still have struggles, conflict, and challenges, but are brimming with possibilities.

It’s terrifying to think of what could happen if PBS is defunded. It would be left to die, with very few options to get ahold of educational programing,
Not every household can afford streaming or cable.
