yes, and explain as well to people what the future is, because most do not understand it, hence predictions (future != facts).

yes that's what the talk is about actually! there are no facts about teh future.
-
also, I hope this isn't an inappropriate question, but do you have formal training in foresight? Like a degree?
-
I don't! But I work w/folks who do, + I've been lucky to be trained
@IFTF the pre-eminent forecasting group for 50 years! -
OK. I hope you can educate all those TED folks what a real professionally educated futurist does, & not just

Try it, but be prepared. Tell them to "Google" you if they don't know what you mean.

lol!! can you imagine, in the middle of a TED talk, turn to the audience and say "google it." :D that would be hilarious!

They need to wait until you've finished your talk, though.

I'd argue the term is mostly understood by the people that would go to a TED talk?
-
or watch online? it's a really wide audience.
-
I guess I'd assume a tech savvy audience? Maybe I'm too in the bubble, if it were a outside that realm I'd say define it
-
but if you are looking to shave seconds, I personally think that's a good place to do it.

I've been following you for years now, pre-ordered your book, and I'm not entirely sure that I know what all that entails.
