The world is moving from a unipolar to a multipolar structure, which reflects a significant shift in global dynamics. As various nations position themselves, conflicts are likely to intensify. The recent events, particularly regarding Israel and the U.S., are contributing to a decline in global goodwill towards these nations. Economic growth fueled by the carbon boom is facing limits, leading to a scarcity of resources and rising tensions. Countries are increasingly choosing sides, and a geopolitical landscape marked by conflict appears imminent, with limited ability for individuals to influence these broader trends.

In this week’s Frankly, Nate shares twenty different things to expect in the future, some which will be extremely difficult to influence but others which are in our control to change. From the forecast of an increasingly hotter planet due to the Superorganism’s insatiable appetite for fossil-carbon energy to a world of growing conflict and inequality, our tendencies are to despair and feel a loss of control.

Will moving from a world of consumption and power defined by money and social status and away from apathy and isolation be possible? What if we purposefully turn the ‘control knobs’ in our own lives to shift how we approach a post-growth future by embracing reality - instead of unrealistic tech solutions - redirecting our focus towards deeper interconnection with community and local systems? Which control knobs might we turn to fill our hearts and lives with goodness, awe and wonder?
