I love being able to think about the future and think about a time beyond the time I was in where we could solve many of the world's problems. So trying to figure out the future determine which feature is the best future, and then work towards that future means somebody asked me once what kind of a futurist are you this is a job interview. I had futures on my resume, and she said what kind of future star you know like. And instead of just reporting on where the world is going to try to move the world in a positive, optimistic direction, I thought that's what it was that put the job of futurist what's. I didn't realize there were different kinds of futures, and of course, there are many pessimistic futurists out there who talk about how horrible the world will be. We hear all these dystopian stories of how bad things are going to be. When I was talking about how it went, you know some so many people think things are gonna go in a negative way when it's entirely possible he could go in the other opposite direction simply because we have all these intelligent humans trying to figure out what the problem is. We have all these humans trying to figure out the problem with the problem is now we are on the planet today at this very moment last I checked there 8. 1000000000 human beings on the planet 8.1000000000 human beings. Isn't that an amazingly huge amount of people? I mean, it boggles me. Can you imagine that many people, but here we are living on this planet with 8? 1000000000 people, and I have to think to myself there must be a major. So if there are 1000000000 people out there who want to improve the human race. So my question is, where are they? Why don't we ever hear about it? In fact, scientists like Steven Pinker, another sociologist who writes these books with tons and tons of real-life data which states that life is getting better, the things are getting better, things are actually getting better despite Kovin despite war despite all these horrible things that are happening to the human race our lot in life he is improving. But do we ever hear about these facts? Do we ever hear about the optimistic side of things? Do we ever hear the things are getting better? So if you're getting positive news in your spine, the positive news to continue they're just doing what we want what we think we want so if we start desiring. Of how things are getting better your humanity then worse because it seems like all we're hearing is about the negative negative negative why don't we hear about the good stuff when we hear about the positive stuff. So think about that how do we get the human race to understand that. So many good things are happening, and we need to focus more on the good because if you think about it, this future is ours to change we create our future, we forge our own future, and we have to decide is this going to be our ideal future.
