Future Imperfect
Well, I made a somewhat monumental decision today. I'm going to become a futurist. I like the fact that futurists can never be wrong, at least in the present when they are talking about the future. That appeals to me, never being wrong. Plus, I love thinking about the future, and the past, and I think that might make me a good futurist. On the other hand, I do tend towards believing conspiracy theories and being a bit naive (read gullible) so that might me a bad futurist. No matter! Onwards and upwards ... or maybe forwards, in this case.
So I'm joining the World Future Society (www.wfs.org) and will do some self-study. There are a handful of universities offering degrees in this area, but to be truthful, I don't have the appetite to be a student ever again (kudos to my friends who are!). So self-study it is. Then maybe I'll do up some business cards, with something pithy like "Bast, Futurist-at-large" on them. Then maybe get my own radio program and build up a huge (or not so much) following. Then retire to a cave-house in Spain and build my mystique as a semi-hermit futurist. Kind of like the Stylite saints, but different. What a plan. I love it. It's bound to work, no?
So anyway, I'll keep you posted. You just never know what the future will hold ... but maybe I do.

I think that most of us would love the idea of never being wrong. As in, "OK, omniscience it is, then!"
And I think the irony of historian-turned-futurist is delightful as well.
So, Rock on, "Bast, Futurist at large". I'm behind you all the way (har, har!)
Upward not forward!
And always twirling, twirling, twirling toward the future!
