In today’s episode of Future Rising, we consider how intention affects not only how we think about the future, but our attitudes toward changing it.

In this episode I refer to the Terminator movies, and John Connor’s famous line “The future is not set. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves.”

It is, admittedly, a bit of a trivial link, but it does illuminate the difference between being passive versus active participants in crafting the future. It’s also a subtle nod to my previous book Films from the Future, which explores socially responsible science and innovation through sci-fi movies, but which sadly does not include The Terminator!
