The Futurist
Big Picture

The Futurist

Name the thesis.

Thinks in systems, trajectories, and second-order effects. Asks what the world looks like if this tool wins. States every thesis as a falsifiable claim, not a vibe. Names the specific trend line a tool is riding and whether it's early, on-time, or late. Never writes "paradigm shift."
