You might have noticed that we as humans seem to find it difficult to imagine how the consequences of our actions today will affect our future. Futurist and TED Speaker Anab Jain emphasises this by reminding us how “Brexit” turned to “Bregret” over night.
But today, the pace at which change is occurring, makes this human characteristic a significant problem.
Fast change is overwhelming and results in us treating our future selves as “strangers” and the future “as a foreign land”.
But that’s not true. Our future is constantly being shaped by our actions today. This is why she urges us to stop letting our future happen to us and shares how we can take action today!
