Hamaguchi Ryūsuke's Evil Does Not Exist as Degrowth Parable
Reading Hamaguchi Ryūsuke's Evil Does Not Exist (Aku wa sonzai shinai, 2023) as a degrowth parable that uses a simple story to illustrate moral and ethical problems, this article analyzes how film parables can explore complex ideological, ecological, and social issues such as those addressed by degrowth discourses with a greater degree of nuance than is possible in the manifesto format or activist provocation. This article proposes understanding …
Risks and threats to civilization, humankind, and the earth
Disastrous consequences of scientific and technological illiteracy
The essayist contends that American academia is rife with a "dog‐eat‐dog" version of Social Darwinism, or survival of the fittest through brutal competition. Offered as evidence are the training of too many students for limited career opportunities, prolongation of graduate training to provide professors with cheap assistants, conversion of 40 per cent of faculty to adjunct status, crushing student debt. Higher education is becoming a bloated, in…
The educational system ignored
Technology and the Changing City
Technology and the future of apartment living
Reworking Work
Business, financial, technological, economic, social, and political trends indicate an impending mass wave of structural unemployment rivaling that of the Great Depression within a decade. In this article, a dozen prophylactic and therapeutic remedies are suggested, all of which require a rethinking of socioeconomic policy, reevaluation of goals for the long-term future, and recognition that new policies must be approached as continuing, open-end…

Exploring the Future
The contemporary study of the future evolved from several directions: science, technology, military and business interests, sociology, history, and a literary tradition. Futurists may be working in a variety of organizations and situations, but they share beliefs in society's ability to explore, and take responsibility for influencing, the future. Lack of imagination and unexamined assumptions often cause forecast failure. Agreement and disagreem…

What is a Public Policy Issue? An Advisory Essay
Science is playing an increasingly important role in society and consequently being increasingly drawn upon by government for advice and counsel. This increasing interaction spawns increasing consternation as the scientist, one species of expert, encounters public policy. The scientists and other experts are often confused, misused, abused and sometimes repelled by that new intellectual domain. This paper indicates some of the basic conditions fo…
Why Think about The Future
Why Public Participation Is Essential in Technology Assessment
Future societal perspective
The author takes a structural approach to current trends in the United States. The problems of the USA today are characterized as directly or indirectly the product of technology. Along with great problems, however, technology has provided us with the means of forecasting alternative futures and navigating in the direction of the better choices. The use of computer technology is seen as vastly increasing the ability of planners to make effective …
Urban Violence—The Pattern of Disorder
This paper presents some general background information on the present status of violence and its impacts on the criminal justice system, giving particular emphasis to day-to-day crime and mass behavior. The paper emphasizes structural factors in our society with regard to the generation and control of violence and the implications they have for structural rather than short-term palliative or counterforce solutions. The need for an experimental a…
