There were lots of proposals for what content this page would host, with the original
idea being a 'philo grid' to show which common theories and frameworks are in/compatible
with each other, matching up along metaphysical, epistemological, and ethical axises;
e.g., hard determinism in metaphysics is incompatible with free-will agency in ethics.
But that would have been too much work for something almost no one would have used, so
instead this page hosts content related to futurology, which includes predictions
about the future, long-term planning, and knowledge trees.
Long Bets is the prediction site
for the
Long Now Foundation;
it's used by many futurists and philosophers and is useful in seeing how horrible they
are at predicting the future.
The
Next Century of Computing by Charles Rosenbauer we estimate as being 30% accurate.
Our
/engineering page discusses some solutions for
long-term data storage and computing but tools like
PanLex
and
LOCKSS are also worth exploring.
Despite the annoying advertising,
Brilliant
is probably the best way to self-edify. Past that, you can get postgraduate degrees
for really cheap with international online universities like
TECH. If you have ideas
you think are really worth applying to world, you may be able to get grants for them
with things like
Emergent Ventures
or other niche grants.
Nuclide
progression in particle physics gives
lots
of insights to the
kinds of elements that exist in the universe.
There will be lots more content added to this page in the future including full
knowledge trees showing every relevant idea in the development of major fields of
study, utilizing lots of visual aids like
avogadr.io
to help people learn the topic as they go through the tree.
