What is it about?

Molitor mentions that victims, relatives, close friends or sympathizers of victims could be the vanguard for new change. If futurists want to detect emerging issues, they should hear from those who are suffering. For this reason, the X-Project pursued a project in which the public from all walks of life was asked to raise questions that reflected the desperate needs of the public. Out of the experimental research we designed the process of the X-Project in which the research teams tackle serious and dire problems, with a sense of challenge.

Why is it important?

With unprecedented scientific technologies and astronomical discoveries, new social systems, religious beliefs, political ideologies and the emergence of new viruses, our future is more uncertain than ever. New research theories and methods that go beyond the causal theory and positivism should emerge.

Perspectives

It is necessary to have a new kind of capability that goes beyond data, statistics and rationalism to study the future, and it is necessary to establish a system for imagination training.
