We need CONSERVATIVE Futurism to get flying cars

Humanity must become a multiplanetary species. It's what we do. Without our eyes toward the stars and something bigger than ourselves, we turn inward. We'll grind ourselves to dust. The only way out is UP.

Stephen Kent interviewed James Pethokoukis of the American Enterprise Institute. He is the author of the new book, The Conservative Futurist: How to Create the Sci-Fi World We Were Promised. In our talk, James mentioned the mindset to me about the call to adventure Tolkien harkens toward in that line from Biblo to Frodo, but about our technological stagnation that has grounded our once romantic visions of a sci-fi future.

Yes, AI is making big leaps right now. So are self-driving cars and even flying taxis. But many of these innovations that excite the imaginations of dreamers are under threat of government crackdown and regulatory cease & desist. James lays out in his book why this happened after the Space Race, and what can be done to unlock the future so many of us dreamed of as children.

It is possible. James Pethokoukis shows us how to get there.
