A catalyst, in futurist-speak, is a time or event that is so influential that it causes a society to rethink - how they think.

These major disruptions to our status quo-thinking forced us to reevaluate our beliefs and behaviors, and to ponder new paradigms of thought and action. As we look to the future, several potential catalysts loom on the horizon, each with the power to fundamentally reshape our future and challenge our collective mindset.

Let's now take a moment to explore some of the more impactful ..read more

As a futurist, I spend a lot of time studying history. Why? As Aerosmith frontman, Steven Tyler sings, "We are all somebody from somewhere." And that somewhere is often revealing. We can see patterns in history. Patterns that just might extend from the past to the future.
One of the surprises of history is what historians refer to as the, "Special Century." From 1870-1970 massive improvements in the standard of living were achieved across many regions of the world all at the same time. These levels of improvements had never been seen bef ..read more
