a TED toast from Santa Barbara
The brain spa catalyst, as I head back to the group:
With benefit of hindsight, looking back over the past 30 years, what really happened?! What surprised us? What disappointed? What are the most significant trends that emerged that are continuing to shape our world? What new, perhaps unexpected, bodies of knowledge emerged? What new puzzles?
And what does this perspective tell us about the future? Dare we be optimistic? On what grounds? What should we be most fearful of? What are the under-reported facts, trends or technologies that will be pivotal in shaping the future? What is the hardest question you’re wrestling with? What are you most excited about?
