Building a Better Future with 'Plausible Fiction'
2025-01-24
This article proposes a novel approach called 'plausible fiction' to tackle real-world problems by constructing believable narratives that bridge the gap between our present and a desired future. The author argues that collective participation in filling the gaps within these narratives can transform fiction into reality. This process resembles a form of collective prediction and creation, potentially leveraging mathematical tools like applied category theory. The article uses a hypothetical platform, FutureForge, to illustrate how gamification and incentive mechanisms can encourage broader participation, ultimately leading to a better future.
