![]() ![]() We're now at that point at where things that were science fiction are becoming very real becoming science fact. We have a chance, now, to get it right for our foreseeable future, or end up in a bad place. We need a different logic so that our future can be good, and can be developed for all of us. In the future, we're going to need to think wider, to think beyond profit and growth, to think about people planet, purpose and prosperity. In a way, you could say, " capitalism is unfit for the future". And there are many issues that we're just not solving the current system is unfit for the future. But we've come to the top of the ceiling. We've had a certain logic that has allowed us to prosper. What is currently wrong is that what we've done for the last 100 years is no longer going to be suitable for the future. We must make the right decisions, now - if we want a good future. We are at a fork in the road: the next 10 years will bring more change than the previous 100 years. Science fiction is becoming science fact (* My 2016 film). Actually, the future is already here, we just haven't paid enough attention. ![]() But we're running out of time because the future is arriving faster than we think. I also believe that human kindness and the ability to collaborate will prevail. I believe that human ingenuity, our science and technology can and will solve most of our long-standing problems. And of course, in the end, the robots will take our jobs, and then they're going to harvest our bodies for energy.īut despite all of that noise, I am here to tell you that the future is better than we think. The news is showing more reels of climate change disasters, economic issues, clueless CEOs and politicians. Netflix and Hollywood are telling us about dystopian scenario s. UPDATE: January 1, 2022: the companion video to this film – The Good Future EXPLAINED – is now available as well!Īre you excited about the future or are you worried? Are you expecting good things or more misery? These days, it seems like all around us, the future is getting bleaker and bleaker. ![]() My film is meant as an introduction to what will become the dominant focus of my work, going forward: What would a Good Future look like, and what can we do right here and now to bring it about? And yes, I strongly believe that humans are capable of such collaboration, that we are kind rather than evil, in principle, and that we are capable of making the right choices. The Good Future will come down to our ethics and values, to global collaboration and to a collective definition of what kind of future we want (rather than what future we can have), and to reaching a consensus on how we can best achieve it. Yet despite all the doom and gloom we hear and see about the future, not only is the present already better than the past (even with the ongoing woes of the pandemic), the Future has strong potential to be even better! The ‘only’ challenge is that while we will have all the tools we need (science and technology) within a decade, we must also develop the telos i.e. The Good Future is entirely possible – it all depends on the choices we make ![]()
