@johnverdon Absolutely! My VRM comments didn't get rolled in. Actually, a lot didn't get included. It's a big topic for 1 article.
@johnverdon that would be great. How about we record a podcast or maybe reverse interview (you interview me)?
@johnverdon let's coordinate via email. No rush.
@AlexRoy144 I never tell anyone my sekret driving roads in the Mojave. I just drive them.... fast.

@Jason MVP baby, MVP. Long term thinking is not the point. Fail fast. Crash, burn or afterburn. Innovation as marketing. That's the valley.
@Jason Since when did a VC go the long road? I wish more of human society embraced long term thinking, but that's not the reality.

@leashless not yet. I won't release until I'm done with production of the series. So in a few months. I promise I'll let you know when.
@leashless Indeed!

Hi @AlexRoy144 Do you think a self-driving car would ever beat your record? Wondering if you'd do a podcast with me about Future of Cars?
Only as long as you say good things! RT @dgwbirch Taking @heathervescent’s name in vain today :)
@AlexRoy144 awesome!!
RT @berkun: The Ten Myths of Innovation: the best summary of the bestselling book http://shar.es/1gNTsG #creativity #innovation #truth
Sites that covered edgy culture in the 90s & 00s, posting stories/images/videos of fuzzy animals. I don't even know what to say.... but sad.
@TheRealFuture might I suggest you ask for futurists instead of journalists? There are people trained to do this.
@TheRealFuture you'll get better/possible/plausible research driven futures from a professional. #justsayin
Thanks for your kind words! MT @crystal1320 Love the Future of Money podcast by @heathervescent. Very insightful and stimulating material!
@AnthonyMacey @eris_ltd I wish I could say yes, but that belongs on LOL specific sites afaic.

I take a long view @Summer_Burkes, which doesn't excuse human negligence. Life is a cycle. Everything dies. Some by human hands. More now.
Oh right, that was me, dreaming of economic models for the future of war. #futuristwhenIsleep
@Jason Hire women.
@Jason Fund women lead unicorns (the ultimate unicorn!). Require women on board or in mgmt/founder positions. #justsayin
Anthropomorphic or Ankh-Morpork?
To accomplish the extraordinary, you must be extraordinary.
On that note, Jeff Lynne (of E.L.O.) is finally getting his star on the walk of fame (this Thursday). About time, extraordinary one.
Heya @Scobleizer you don't become a futurist by changing your title. Why not hire the pros instead of co-opt our title?
It's because of amateur co-opting the title of Futurist, that I can't use it when speaking about my profession.
@TJL2080 Good start! Keep writing!

@AnthonyMacey @stephantual @gavinandresen How cheap? Did that consider transportation costs?
@AnthonyMacey @stephantual @gavinandresen yes, but *someone* pays those costs. Like all the R&D costs to develop rocket propulsion tech.
@ChristopherA I had not! Thank you for pointing me to it! Very timely! I was just remembering our convo from IIW last night!
@AnthonyMacey ah, perhaps that was humour. ;) Sometimes hard to pick up in text medium.
Hello sweet flat San Joaquin.
@CynWag1 yeah, I've tried using that, many people don't know what it means. I tend to use social scientist more these days.
@CynWag1 But the truth is, I AM a futurist, and that term perfectly describes our line of work. :) Also, hi! It's been too long!
I have to admit, driving past cowschwitz today made me glad I don't eat steak/beef/meat anymore.
