Folding in – Folding out, Going up, Going down – China’s movable (Self-)Image in recent Science Fiction by Holger Briel (UIC).  

# data[].attributes.body
This presentation will concern itself with a comparison of China’s image in recent Science Fiction. In particular, Ramez Naam’s Nexus Trilogy (2012-2015), with individual books from the trilogy winning the Prometheus and the Philip K. Dick Awards, and Folding Beijing by Hao Jingfang, Hugo Award Winner 2016. In my presentation, it will become clear that the representation of Chinese futures in non-Chinese works remains on a more superficial level, mostly writing forth technological tangents visible already today and similar to the way Japan was treated in the Science Fiction imagination of the 1980s and 90s (e.g. the 1990s Rim trilogy by Alexander Besher). Conversely, much of Chinese Science fiction takes social developments much more seriously and is able to describe, dystopically as well as utopically, profound social changes possible.

Educators and policy makers are often required to quickly assess information on trends which are likely to affect education and learning in the near and medium-term future. This includes being able to predict changes in AI, technology, business and economy. An important aim is to be able to equip students with the skills and aptitudes to thrive in future workplaces and societies where the pace of change is ever-increasing. In this presentation, there is a particular focus upon a probable future of the internet, the Metaverse, and especially in terms of why human a well-developed sense of embodiment is essential even in virtual spaces.

Yet accurate prediction of technological innovation, including how to use that technology, is not enough. Nor is a narrow focus on work, business and productivity. We must also think carefully about what kind of

society we would prefer to create, and how to bring it about. We must also ask ourselves how we humans learn best. Education - and learning in general - cannot be merely about technical skills. The Anthony Integrated Learning Process provides a guide to the kinds of skills and processes that education should encourage if learning is to be optimal.

Thus, to choose our preferred futures, we cannot merely consult data and assume that online learning will facilitate the somatic intelligence that we typically employ in offline modes of learning. We must ground ourselves in the body, it’s intuitive intelligence, and the Authentic Self. The argument put forward shall be that we require an expanded theory (and practice) of intelligence. To this end, Marcus T Anthony’s model of Integrated Intelligence shall be referred to.

Education should continue to encompass a wide array of areas: including learning how to think, how to learn, and how to feel. We must incorporate personal development (including resilience and adaptability, and mindfulness), critical and creative thinking, ecological awareness and so on. We cannot allow trends - and technological trends in particular - to blindly dictate the future.

The first part of this talk will identify major key trends in education, society and artificial intelligence: probable and possible futures. The second part will outline the Anthony Integrated Learning Process and suggest what we might like to challenge in regard to current trends. Part Four will identify findings in education and psychology which indicate why embodiment is so important for learning and the expression of intelligence. Finally, the presenter will use the Steve Tighe’s scenarios method to posit four general possible/probable futures of the Metaverse and online learning.
