==== Bad Futurists ====

(via https://medium.com/futures-exchange/493715a01106 )

<blockquote>
So, to the list, then. The typical bad futurists start from one of the following nine archetypes, and then mix-and-match aspects of the others. The list, in no particular order:

  - The Obfuscator/Obscurantist
  - The Shock-Jock
  - The Mindless Optimist/Pessimist
  - The Pseudo-Academic
  - The Trendster
  - The Neologizer
  - The Cookie-Cutter
  - The Proselytizer
  - The Mystic
