Last year I’ve neglected my personal blog quite a bit in favour of the Fractal Future Forum. Still, I want to use this blog for presenting my most important thoughts, articles, as well as my personal journey and progress. The last year has been significantly different for me. But to give you a better view of my progress, I also add the last three months of 2014 to my personal progress report. So, let’s review what happened: 2014 October During [ Read More ]

A futurist is a person who is active in the pursuit of creating a better future by thinking about possible future scenarios and following a path towards the best scenarios.

Getting away from my old shared hosting provider was a necessity for me. I planned to write an important post, but my blog was reacting extremely slowly or simply failed to be accessible entirely. That was not acceptable! Since I had some experiences with migrating WordPress blogs and also some experiences with setting up a virtual private server / VPS / droplet on Digital Ocean, I decided to move my Radivis.com blog to a Digital Ocean droplet while keeping everything [ Read More ]

Minds Of The Future When thinking about the minds of a society which fully embraces technology, it soon becomes clear that these minds will leverage technology to improve themselves. In the past, the improvement was achieved with the use of external tools like writing and computers which allowed for distributed cognition that not only encompassed thinking processes within a group of people (facilitated by language), but also included artefacts like notes, books and smartphones into various forms of cognition.
