Revival of this community into a resource for a Professional Network?
Post Body

The logos at the top of the page have Singularity University, H , and the Futurology logo. I don't know if we have anybody here affiliated with SU or H , although I met some H folks in Seattle while running a Futurist Meetup group.

I'm not 100% sure what the original intent of this sub was, but time has passed, Reddit has evolved, and /r/Futurology has become a major outlet on Reddit. This sub was created before Multi-Reddits really existed, which is why the menu system was used for cross-community exchange.

However - I want to propose an alternative use. Professional Networking and Development. Imagine if we started sharing things on here like:

  • Futurist Related Conferences and Events (H , Meetups, World Future Conf., etc)
  • Emerging Market Industry Events (New Space, IEEE, GDC, Robotics, Crypto, etc)
  • Certifications, Online Training, Full Degree Programs (for Future Studies, STEM, Ethics, Machine Learning, Etc)
  • Professional Publications - notice of releases of relevant professional journals (not news articles) - like IEEE or Millenium Project, etc.
  • Media Relations - blog sites, podcasts, Youtubers - answering questions for them on here on best resources for stories, etc. Reviewing their content for them or participating with them.
  • Resource and Support - looking for help editing a book/aritcle, finding participants for a survey, or an open source project

Those are just a few suggestions. The real question is, if adopted, would people actually post those things. Also, we'd want to avoid making it simply self-promotion exchange, but also allow for personal project discussion to take place.

Let me know what you think. Cheers
