Critics who predict the future

from Diary 2024-09-20 / related Can democracy "really" be updated? Critics who predict the future Mr. Yasuno and Mr. Azuma, I have a feeling that there is a difference between the pattern of action of "actually doing and showing what is feasible with current technology but people are not yet aware" and the pattern of action of "anticipating situations that may occur in the future and criticizing in advance for situations that are not good.

• That's what they call "critic", I see.
  • "Critics who make future predictions."
  • So I foresaw "broad listening" 10 years ago.
• The entrepreneur fills the issue (=gap between ideal and reality) that exists in the present with current technology.
• It is engineering researchers who create technologies that are necessary for future ideals but do not yet exist in the present.
  • Filling a gap of the type "the technology that should exist does not yet exist."
• Is it the "critic who predicts the future" who creates opportunities to change course in the present by critiquing issues in "the future as an extension of the present"?
  • I think I can flesh it out a bit more.

In addition, compared to critics who do not predict the future who only point out current issues, entrepreneurs who point them out and also solve them are considered to be better.

• This area leads to "[Ideas without implementation are no longer needed.
  • Get rid of critics who don't take positions.
  • Negative criticism is easy
