Hi, Id like to know if its possible to add a new section on the forums. called futurism. a place to discuss about futurism.

Great idea! Somewhere to collect discussions covering futurism, SciFi speculation, technologies, utopian and distopian societies and, in general, all wild ideas about our post-human, post-singularity future.

Edit: I just saw this advice on suggesting new forums:

Suggestions about new forum sections

Please remember that while it is rather easy to suggest new forum sections, it is far less easy to navigate a forum with dozens of empty and forgotten sub-sections.

If you'd like to see a new forum section, please show:

1) Why it makes sense to introduce a new section (Can the topic be adressed under an existing heading?)
2a) That there are already plenty of topics (more than 20) which would fit better into the new section OR
2b) That you have a lot of great material, which you would like to contribute in the new section, and you pledge to keep the new section alive.



So, to address these points;
1) Futurism is something we all should be interested in since many of the members plan to be around for a long time to come. Its also fun to speculate and could attract more people to this website.
2a) Search for references to Kurzweil, futurism, science fiction, singularity (would it be better to split the AI & Singularity forum, moving singularity discussions to a subforum of futurism?), etc.
2b) I'd hope many members would have ideas for discussion topics.
