Futures Studies - The Long Now Foundation

For those interested in further applications of futures studies and scenario-based analysis outside of traditional intelligence community accounts, the Long Now Foundation (website) should be of great interest. It should be noted, however, that the Long Now people have a much different account horizon than most of those in the community....

They also offer a series of podcasts of foundation lectures for free download on their site, with noted speakers including Peter Schwartz (of Art of the Long View fame), Bruce Sterling (science fiction author, blogger, and futurist), Stewart Brand, the Dysons, Clay Shirky, and others.
