This is why comments are so useful. I was already on the fence about viewing a site named futurism and your comment made sure I will avoid it moving forward.

I think that's a big qualm of mine in terms of the sources allowed here, and I suppose it will take time to weed out the trustworthy from the not.

Why does the word futurism put you the fence?

[–] [email protected] 55 points 2 years ago

A lot of articles that either use that buzzword or are published by sites that have that in their name are utter garbage. i.e rediculous predictions, inaccurate headlines/content etc.

Futurists are people who cosplay as scientists predicting stuff they have no clue about.
