SPECIAL PREMIERE! This is a very special audio-version derived from a video session in my living room here in Zurich / Switzerland, in a very personal and more intimate setting. In a conversation with my producer Rob Holub I reflect on the theme of my next film (which will be shot in beautiful Lanzarote / Canary Island in May this year) called THE GOOD FUTURE, such as:

What kind of methods do I use to find and formulate my key foresights, and how do I 'come back from the future'? Why do you think that the future is a MINDSET not a time-frame? Why are we at the pivot point of exponential change; why is NOW so different, and why will the next 10 years bring more change than the previous 100 years? Who will define what GOOD actually is? How will we agree on how to design 'the good future'? If capitalism as we know it is unfit for the future failing us, what are the alternatives?

The Future isn't something that just falls down on us; it is something we create, every day, by action or by inaction. The future is ours to win or to lose. We will have all the tools, but will we have the TELOS (the wisdom and the purpose)?
