Neurofuturism
This term evades definitions, but we can consider it as an anti-oppressive, heuristic, poly-centric systems approach to change- and future-making that subverts elements of neurodivergence as a creative, intersectional intervention, and celebrates innovative hacks by the marginalised to survive and even thrive within hostile systems. Neurofuturism is hard to pin down as it is decidedly under-developed and not yet mature (just as ADHD for instance is rendered in medical terms), and, hence responsive, non-deterministic, inclusive and welcomes further interventions and iterations. It's useful to consider Neurofuturism as an under-doggy, octo-pussy with two nine left feet and lives that includes, welcomes and catalyses Pluralistic Perspectives of leadership. The term 'neurofuturism' was used in a film How to Thrive in 2050 (2021). This opens up the term from its grassroots origins which had focused on autistic or human cognitive (instead of AI) perspectives.
