futulier
futulier
noun
A person who designs, shapes, or seeds the future by creating new concepts, language, tools, or cultural patterns; someone who works on what will be usable later rather than what is useful now.
Example:
“She’s not a planner or a predictor — she’s a futulier. She builds the ideas people will need in ten years.”
Alternate definition (more poetic):
Someone who tends the future the way a gardener tends soil — preparing conditions for things that do not yet exist.
Example:
“He doesn’t make products. He’s a futulier.”
