Many call themselves “futurists” — Bryan actually knows how to do it.
Is @BryanAlexander a wizard because he wrote about the possibility of a pandemic in 2018? He says he has a beard like one.
“Hardest working man in edtech!”
Gotta love @BryanAlexander‘s ability to catalyze a conversation without leaning on hyperbole or triggers.
This is so well-structured and thoughtful that it almost made me forget I was terrified while reading it.
When @BryanAlexander is futuring about you, you’d better start futuring yer own dang self!
Your prescience is wild.

How high will today’s largest endowments grow by 2055?
How might the richest American colleges and universities develop in the future? I’ve been looking at this small yet superinfluential slice of higher education for a while. For example, since 2018 I’ve been trying to forecast when the most expensive … Continue reading

What I’m doing with social media now
