QUESTION NO.2 In an economy characterised by linear short-termism, people are crying out for a radically different vision of the future. We live in an age where doomsday predictions aren’t hyperbolic — they’re the stark reality. We appear to be at a new crossroads in our lives both as private citizens and as a society as a whole. The choices we face, or simply now accept, will be profound. They speak to who we are as people and who we are as a society. They will profoundly affect everything we love and everything we do. Finding radically new and elevated responses to these challenges — and critically engaging people in the right way with these topics is the most pressing task of our age. There is nothing bigger or more unfathomably urgent. So where is change coming from and how will it be met? Who will it be led by? How will it be communicated? Why will it matter? IN THOUGHT WITH In our second issue of TO THINK, we bring together deep thinkers renowned for being unafraid to make real the future they imagine. Our mix of conversationalists all have one thing in common: a belief that if we care for the future and can envision a better one, it will better dictate the present and our decisions here and now. Our conversationalists range from MARY ROBINSON (former president of Ireland; former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights; Chair of The Elders) to MARTIN STUCHTEY (Global innovator and circular economy adviser) to HEGE SÆBJØRNSEN (Sustainability Manager of IKEA) to EVAN SHARP (co-founder of Pinterest) to SATISH KUMAR (former monk; long-term peace and environmental activist).
