Hi guys,

So I've been curating this glossary over at https://www.reddit.com/r/Futurology/.  I want it to be sort of an introduction to future focused topics.  A list of words that the layman can read and be inspired by.  I try to stay away from household words (i.e. cyberspace), science fiction topics (i.e. dyson sphere), words that describe themselves (i.e. self driving cars), obscure and rarely used words (i.e. betelgeuse-brain), and words that can't be found in most dictionaries (i.e. Rocko's Basilisk (i've been meaning to remove that one)).  Most of the glossary is from words and phrases I find on the /r/Futurology forum.  I have a whole other list with potential words for the glossary that i collect just waiting for the day to be added (i.e particle accelerator, Aerogel, proactionary principle).  I find curating the glossary to be more of an art than a science.  I try to balance the list between science, technology, philosophy, ideology, and sociology.  I like to find related topics to expand the list (i.e. terraforming & geoengineering). Even though the glossary is in alphabetical order i want it to read somewhat like a story.    

Anders Sandberg of The Future of Humanities Institute, Oxford told me "I like the usefulness of your list..."

I'm interested to know what you guys think.
