Hi everyone, I am developing a project to help people engage in constructive conversations about certain aspects of society 100 years in the future. I woud be very grateful if you could let me know which one of the 8 prompt on this website (https://www.22ndcenturyhub.com/) I have develop you find more interesting (you can also engage in a conversation with the AI, as I built in a GPT API). That would help me in further developing more prompts, I have about 60 at the moment. Thanks a lot in advance!

Ok nice to hear! Which one of the 8 picks your interest the most?

One that triggers me is the one about post work society, because it reminds me of the work of a Dutch artist who died 20 years ago, he believed that one day humans no longer would have to work and he made models and drawings of what he called New Babylon. https://stichtingconstant.nl/constant/periods/new-babylon-1956-1974

I find looking at the future also very interesting if you look not from here but from a place in the past. Just like 2001: A Space Odyssey, of this man (Kubrick) who envisioned the time we live in now very differently as to what it actually turned out to be.

But to me honest, I would probably end up talking about the steps that lay before us now (the next 5-25 years) than actually imagine myself if I lived a 100 years from now; don't know why that is.

Nice thanks a lot for sharing, also about New Babylon. I can imagine. One of the reason why I use 100 as a timeframe is to give permission to participants to really let their imagination go “wild”. I understand the value of also doing the next 5 to 25.
