Investing in health span, healthcare, biotech, and AI represents the largest transformative markets today. Individuals are willing to invest significantly to gain healthy longevity. Companies established over 30 years ago that do not adopt exponential growth strategies risk obsolescence due to impending technological disruptions. To create abundance from scarcity, diversifying the semiconductor supply chain is essential, as current fragility can halt progress. Additionally, addressing potential agricultural challenges necessitates increased production driven by AI. This can be achieved through precision farming techniques, termed 'digital gardening', which applies resources to individual plants, and by further advancements in genetic manipulation for increased crop yields.
Today, humanity is thriving, but there are fears the good times will not last. Will tomorrow be better than today? Those arguing “yes” say people have better access to resources and technological advances are making us more prosperous. Those arguing “no” say there are widening socio-economic disparities, our globalized world is bound to collapse, and we’re not doing enough to fight climate change. Now we debate: Will the Future Be Abundant?
