The photo above shows just how far we have come in the last 30 years.
And the pace of change is accelerating. And spilling over into every aspect of life from brain surgery to home pizza delivery to tiny robots being injected into us to fight disease to AI lawyers to nuclear fusion powered unlimited energy.
At the time of writing, there is conflict going on around the globe. Russia has invaded Ukraine in what looks likely to be a long, drawn-out conflict. China appears to have its eyes set on reclaiming Taiwan. The Middle East, whilst not getting much air-time in the news is far from a resolved issue.
The last decade has shown us that the pillars of society we trusted and depended on - law, justice, religion, leaders, royalty, etc., can not be trusted to serve our interests - mostly due to greed. We must do our own fact-finding and interpret those facts against the cold light of day and against the backdrop of history.
A study of history shows us that we have been here before. Several times. The human race goes through seasons of war, conflict, fallen civilisations and then recovery usually led by a new super power. Today and tomorrow belong to China and the Far East. The last decade was led by the United States. But go delve further back you see the same pattern repeated.
Why does this matter? All things, being equal, it provides a guide to the future. And if we have a guide to the future, we can prepare, take comfort from our knowledge and even take advantage because even as this Great Reset takes place, there will be opportunity for those who are ready.
Thank you for joining me for this ride and prepare to be enlightened.
Best wishes,
