My guest today is Dr. Joseph Voros, a leading global futurist, physicist, and pioneer of strategic foresight. With a background in theoretical physics, he taught in the Master of Strategic Foresight program at Swinburne University for over 15 years. He is known for his work with the futures cone, integral theory, big history, and for introducing the concept of preposterous futures into formal foresight practice. His website, The Voroscope, is a treasure trove of futures thought, deep inquiry, and radical curiosity.

Dr. Voros shares stories from his time teaching futures studies, his career at Netscape during the tech boom, and his lifelong fascination with integrating science, metaphysics, and intelligence analysis. This episode is an invitation to expand your thinking, to challenge your assumptions, and to engage with the most vital question of all: what future do you dare to imagine?

Topics include:

• The architecture of big history: from hydrogen to humanity

• Why preposterous futures are essential to strategic thinking

• Cognitive bias, groupthink, and the danger of default assumptions

• The "futures cone" and where most ideas get blocked

• How Eastern philosophy, science, and intuition all inform futurism

• What it means to move from “judgment” to “movement” in critical thinking

• Personal evolution through systems thinking and worldview expansion
