Who Can Forecast the Future?

We all can if we take a look at the present.

If we keep doing what we’re doing, we’re going to keep getting what we’ve always been getting. On a personal level, this is easy to digest.

On a global scale, there are an incredible number of moving parts — most of which we cannot see. It’s hard to gauge what will happen because all it takes is one wildcard to completely change the course of human history.

We can account for behaviour if it’s consistent… but when anything could happen at any point… for any reason… who can really predict the future?

We still can based on our actions because they are a reflection of our values. Even when the wildcard happens, we will know how humanity will respond.

We’ve seen the way we’ve responded in the past.

Will we respond the same way in the future?

How much have our actions changed?
