“ foresight used to be called futurism, but that futurism has increasingly become associated with the idea of predicting the future. Foresight is not about predicting the future, it’s about minimizing surprise. The second way I usually put it is that foresight is not about predicting the future; it’s about designing the future.”
-Beyond Prediction, Charles Stross
