Love Must Be the Operating Principle of the Future

Yesterday, I explained in this post, A Change of Heart--Truly, how I intend to bring my whole self–my whole heart, my whole soul and my whole mind–to my work as a professional futurist.

Jack Uldrich’s “Friday Future 5:” October 29, 2020

Dear Readers: My “think week” experience in the BWCA was so productive last month that I decided to follow it up with an additional “think week” in the Badlands of North Dakota this week. In this case, I will be spending more time in silence than I am normally comfortable with, but it is what [...]
