The future is not something that just happens to us - it is something we create every single day, by action or by inaction. Whether the future is good or bad is entirely up to us.  As we see the future, so we act, as we act so we become!

Also on Youtube:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHC5n7G5SeI

As a Futurist and Keynote Speaker I talk to many people from all over the world and from all walks of life. In the past few years I have observed the increased adoption of a rather negative view of the future - and not just because of the recent pandemic. People often cite urgent climate change issues, rising populism, the explosion of fake news, the threats of automation and fear of technological unemployment, out-of-control artificial intelligence and vexing inequality trends as proof that the future is going to be bad, and that we are right to be afraid of it. And of course, Netflix, Hollywood et al are usually pointing us in the same direction: dystopia and doom is certain!

Yet nothing could be further from the truth - not only is the present already better than the past (even with the woes of the pandemic), the future has strong potential to be even better!  The 'only' challenge is that while we will likely have all the tools (science and technology) within a decade, we must also have the telos i.e. the will, the purpose and the wisdom. 

It 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 a collective consensus on how we can best achieve it.  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” 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?  

I am presenting this film as a mere opener on these often complex topics, fully aware that I am only grazing the surface of each issue - but rest assured that the details will follow: Continuing with the themes from my last book “Technology vs Humanity”, I am rolling out a new series of speaking topics on the “Good Future” (such as new talks on decarbonization and sustainability,  capitalism, technology regulation and social media), I am working on a new ‘Handbook for the Good Future’, and I am looking at producing a Good Future feature film or TV series, in addition to launching a new web-tv show on the Good Future. 

Here is what you'll see in this film: I first speak about why we are at such a crucial moment in human history right now, why our current economic story and logic won’t work in the future, and why we need to move from a focus on profit and growth to a focus on people, planet, purpose and prosperity. I then describe what a Good Future could actually look like, and depict 5 scenarios on food, energy, education, healthcare and work. Then, I talk about what leaders in business and politics can do to create a Good Future, suggesting 4 action items, followed by a segment on what you and I as individuals can do. The film wraps up with this key message: The good future is entirely possible and it's our choice. The only question is: Are you going to be part of it?

"our generation is cursed with more than "just" a massive political and social upheaval. We are also facing a climate crisis that calls into question the very preconditions upon which modern societies are organized. Progressives like me see this, too, as a direct consequence of how our economic system works. Infinite, unregulated economic growth - capitalism's core dynamic - simply is not compatible with life on a planet with finite resources. As matters stand, our capitalist system drives more extraction and generates more emissions every year."

My new film "The Good Future"

I just got back from beautiful Lanzarote where we were shooting my new film "The Good Future". The wind was blowing in a typical Canary Islands fashion but thanks to the amazing team we still shot some really awesome footage.

Below is a brand-new trailer that gives you an idea where we are going with this - exclusive preview for my readers!

Why "The Good Future"? These days it seems that no matter where you look the future is not so bright: Hollywood and Netflix keep telling us dystopian stories, and news are presenting evidence of impending demise around the clock. We will have more pandemics, more climate disasters, more clueless CEOs and politicians, and more social unrest - and of course the robots will take our jobs before harvesting our bodies for energy.

But despite all of that there is hope! This film aims to tell the story of The Good Future. I believe in a future where the power of human ingenuity, science and technology solves our biggest problems. I also believe that humans are basically kind and capable of collaboration (read 'human kind' by Rutger Bregman! ) - even if they can be easily distracted:)

But we are running out of time because the future is arriving faster than we think. In fact it is already here, we just haven't paid enough attention yet. Science fiction is becoming science fact. We are at a fork in the road. The next 10 years will bring more change than the previous 100 years.

"I believe that humans are kind, in principle"

We must make the right decisions now if we want a good future.

I just got back from beautiful Lanzarote where we were shooting my new film "The Good Future". The wind was blowing in a typical Canary Islands fashion but thanks to the amazing team we still shot some really awesome footage.

*AUDIO-ONLY VERSION* of "The Good Future" film

The future is not something that just happens to us - it is something we create every single day, by action or by inaction. Whether the future is good or bad is entirely up to us.  As we see the future, so we act, as we act so we become!

As a Futurist and Keynote Speaker I talk to many people from all over the world and from all walks of life. In the past few years I have observed the increased adoption of a rather negative view of the future - and not just because of the recent pandemic. People often cite urgent climate change issues, rising populism, the explosion of fake news, the threats of automation and fear of technological unemployment, out-of-control artificial intelligence and vexing inequality trends as proof that the future is going to be bad, and that we are right to be afraid of it. And of course, Netflix, Hollywood et al are usually pointing us in the same direction: dystopia and doom is certain!

Yet nothing could be further from the truth - not only is the present already better than the past (even with the woes of the pandemic), the FUTURE has strong potential to be even better!  The 'only' challenge is that while we will likely have all the tools (science and technology) within a decade, we must also have the TELOS i.e. the will, the purpose and the wisdom. 

In other words, it 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 a collective consensus on how we can best achieve it.  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” 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?  

I am presenting this film as a mere opener on these often complex topics, fully aware that I am only grazing the surface of each issue - but rest assured that the details will follow: Continuing with the themes from my last book “Technology vs Humanity”, I am rolling out a new series of speaking topics on the “Good Future” (such as new talks on decarbonization and sustainability,  capitalism, technology regulation and social media), I am working on a new ‘Handbook for the Good Future’, and I am looking at producing a Good Future feature film or TV series, in addition to launching a new web-tv show on the Good Future.
