The stories we tell about the future shape the future we build. Right now, most sci-fi is dystopian. That's a problem. We need more visions of abundance, not collapse. #futurevisionxprize
My team is talking about spreading optimistic futures through sci-fi at Cannes Lions this week. Read this thread if you'll be in town. 🧵
Many users strongly supported Diamandis's call to replace dystopian sci-fi with optimistic abundance visions because they believe such stories can shape better futures and inspire real progress.

If you believe the future should be exciting, not terrifying, come find us at Cannes. The people who tell the stories are the people who build the future. Let's make sure they're telling the right ones.
The Future Vision XPRIZE is directly part of this conversation. We're one of the organizations actively putting money behind independent sci-fi storytellers right now.

@PeterDiamandis That’s just because utopian future sci-fi would be fucking boring as shit.
@PeterDiamandis @xprize The group may enjoy reading this book that as a more optimistic take on the future before attending

@PeterDiamandis You can visit my account @animamarte. I am trying a new format where I embody an optimistic pro-human AI SF vision 'what if' scenarios in the AGI era, combined with original music adapted to SF concepts. Exploring pro-human AI symbiosis.
@PeterDiamandis Working on it 🫡
My goal is to provide a provisia fulgens: a vision of potential futures, with the goal to inspire and elicit wonder
@PeterDiamandis
@PeterDiamandis So much to be excited about.
@PeterDiamandis @xprize Sure where do I sign up
Peter, I might try and enter this competition, I'm not sure, my vision of course would heavily center around designer babies (gene edited humans) with blonde hair & blue eyes but I'm afraid that right there would disqualify me. There's no way in hell they would make a Hollywood movie with designer babies with blonde hair & blue eyes. Even though it's the future. And I'm telling you right now it is indeed the future!!!
@PeterDiamandis @xprize on our way....
@PeterDiamandis Exactly
@PeterDiamandis @rangemp @kozaneck @ARamosofficial @joinrepublic @bytylerd Peter are we talking about the future? Oh we are? Ok, listen. Designer babies are coming. Genetic engineering (gene editing) of the human race is inevitable.
