Description:This talk will explore Nicola’s thesis that “The human story that brought us into the 21st century has been written and rewritten several times. The last major upgrade was probably during the industrial revolution. Time to rewrite it again. We need a new story. Brave story. Unfounded story. A story that can inspire, unite and motivate us to let go of the past and create the best possible future.
This is what Nicola’s current project is focused on. The talk will examine how the current human story was created, how it works, what its impact and importance are, and why we are currently witnessing its collapse politically, economically, philosophically, ecologically, and even socially. Nicola will further argue that in order to survive and thrive in a world of exponential technology and disruptive change, we must rewrite our human history, individually, collectively and globally. Finally, Nicola will conclude by offering a framework for our human history, as well as some possible new options.
Nicola is the founder of the very popular Singularity Weblog, keynote speaker, host of the Singulairty.FM podcast series, and author of Conversations with the Future. Author of 21 Visions for the 21st Century.
