Many call themselves “futurists” — Bryan actually knows how to do it.
Bryan Alexander is perhaps higher education’s most prominent intellectual provocateur.
–The Chronicle of Higher Education
One of the most creative and perceptive people in higher education today!
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.
[F]uturist and higher-ed guru Bryan Alexander…

Scanning the present through a polycrisis lens in early 2026
Greetings from northern Virginia, where a local version of winter is graying skies and keeping temperatures in the 35-50 F band. It’s not cold enough for snow or ice, although my decades of living in states with serious winter still … Continue reading

Naming our time: some new terms to try on

What does the future look like if humanity shrinks, instead of grows?
Greetings from a pleasant long May weekend in northeastern Virginia. There’s a holiday on Monday, which makes these three days a good time for reflection. (Also work, but that’s a different matter.). I’ve been working on a project sub rosa … Continue reading
Some ways for generative AI to transform the world
For the past two months I’ve been scrambling to work on generative AI. That’s the phrase I prefer to corral together ChatGPT, art generators like DALL-E, and any AI-driven software which helps us make content. Besides hosting Forum sessions (some … Continue reading
Imagining future universities with Midjourney images
What might future campuses look like? I’ve been using AI art programs for a while, getting to generate images for classes, presentations, social media, and entertainment. The nexus of automation and creativity is something I’ve been brooding about for years. … Continue reading
How do we think of our present time, looking to the future? The 2022 Polycrisis and what comes next
Today is a Sunday in northeastern Virginia. It’s a very warm afternoon now, the temperature around 88°F (31°C) and humidity driving the heat index to 100°F (38°C). The cats are resting inside, sensibly basking in air conditioning after lazing on … Continue reading
