futurist

Also Peter Schwarz a futurist had a massive effect on my optimism towards the future of the world.

That's not even a futurist question; why do we need such a high labor participation rate today?

Many years ago, in the dark days before Wikipedia, I read a similar article about Syd Mead (and his excellent work) that introduced me to the term "futurist." I thought that sounded like a really cool thing to be, and set myself to finding out what it was exactly.

It was just whatever Syd Mead happened to be, which as best I could figure was "sci-fi artist, except too respectable to lump in with those grubby sci-fi nerds." These days "futurist" seems to have a much more well-known and clearly defined meaning that doesn't really include designing movie backdrops, so Mead has been updated to " visual futurist," which has the same definition as above.

I see the same thing, but feel much more optimistic about it: it's not, in my mind, that tech is effectively fashion, but rather that there are "futurist" ideas that tech keeps trying and which keep not getting adoption, because it's not their time yet—the state of the art isn't there to make the experience for the average consumer (or the average developer) justify the costs.
