Future Studies work like Science Fiction. Both, unlike "Fantasy," start with facts. Both "Imagineer" future scenarios from the facts. H.G. Wells is a great example of an early "Futurist." His "War of the Worlds" still sells tickets.
Avoid "rearview" mirrors.
Winning race drivers focus on the road ahead. They are "Futurists."
Catch the next "wind."
Master sailors know how to catch the next "wind." Futurists do too.
Riding the Wind!

Comparisons can be great teachers. This is one reason why Dr. Rux values his friends like the Arya family from India.
