Sci-fi - A Scary Story

It is often with some sadness to see that not only is a lot of sci-fi violent it also suffers from fairly low emotional intelligence.
The sci-fi audience is less likely to find a solution that resonates with your emotional state, more likely to be thrilled, threatened and scared about the potential ramifications of technology as it is visited upon humans.
It is very important to see the world in a progressive and positive perspective on humanity's future because it is the myth that generates most of reality. Therefore if the myth is broken, filled with negative emotions and benign expectations, does not that impregnate the reality with the very same material?

A Directive for Engineering a Future

We have to care for the future for we hope to be part of it.
While some sci-fi can work as a warning sign about paths we should not take; it should also work as roadsign on the roadmaps to a better future - along with an improvement in fiction.

A Roadmap for Positive Emotions in Sci-fi

The myths of sci-fi are likely to drive the adoption and the paths that we are taking. So we need to be on the path for a brilliant future. 
The theatre is fueled by myths.  Here I have thought of theatre as a film, game, VR and AR - the complete art of storytelling.

1. Research positive emotions as the sources of enhanced psychological well-being and spiritual growth
2. Relate the potentials of emotion improving technologies for the future
3. Use positive emotional literary devices for the author-audience communication
4. Paint an imagination of technology as a source of positive emotions
5. Let the agents in the stories be motivated by positive emotions
6. Coin new terms for communicating and engineering emotional technologies
7. Teach emotion recognition 

The levelling up of human Emotional Quotient is likely to bring about a levelling up of empathy. This may even bring about a positive loop, improving the emotional states of the audiences as well as the writers.
