Posted in: Foresight, Humanity, Innovation Tags: algorithm, consumer trend, Foresight, framework, Future, Humanity, humanness, improvement, perspective, prediction, trend
How to think about the future? A foresight expert uses many tools to help understand what the future holds. Predicting the exact future is not the point for a foresighteer, except that people want to hear predictions – trend this and that – those are easy to deliver and easy to consume but often very [...]
TEDxTalk – Humanity is hiding in plain sight
In May I gave a talk titled 'Humanity is hiding in plain sight' at TEDxTraverseCity. The talk expresses some fundamental aspects of Hunome. The essence is that we (humanity) have now a possibility to build an understanding of 'how humanity works' differently to what has been the norm, e.g., supposed 'answers'. This domain of understanding [...]
Emerging cityscapes in the next ten years
Posted in: Entrepreneur, Foresight, Humanity, Life Tags: cities, entrepreneurial, Foresight, human condition, what people want
Hunome has kept me very busy. When Frank at KedgeForward asked me to contribute an article it was a neat little break from the 'on the business' and 'in the business' and have a moment to think about one major aspect of our human condition. I wrote a think piece on the emerging cityscape. My [...]
Transhumanism – Where does it stand? Where will it go?
You can find my point-of-view on transhumanism. It is part of a series of articles on the topic on KedgeForward. Here is the full text for convenience: “My view is that humanity is already moving towards a transhuman, beyond biology, species. We have taken little steps. This will be a gradual shift in what [...]
Flows of knowledge
What is witchcraft today may become science tomorrow What is science today may become witchcraft tomorrow What does that tell us? 1. Just because something is not proven through science does not make it less valuable fodder for our thinking processes 2. Just because something is proven through science does not mean that it will [...]
Hunome launched in private Alpha 1.1.2010
Hunome has launched in Alpha. I cannot believe it. I have not said anything about the launch on my blog. I guess that is because I’ve communicated it elsewhere. What is Hunome? It provides means for creating and enjoying short-cuts to insights about humanity. Who is it for? Those who need to understand what makes [...]
What makes humans unique?
Posted in: Humanity Tags: human, human condition, Humanity, nina rosenstand, species, unique
If we do not understand ourselves how can we hope to truly be in someone else’s shoes and have perspective? If we do not have perspective, how can we operate in a world of variation, even if ever so slight and seemingly insignificant? We like to display our uniqueness in many ways in amongst our [...]
Le temps de rêvasser
Aikaa haaveiluun Time to day dream The other day I was watching an interview with Jean-Marie Le Clezio, a nobel-laureate. Half of what he said was in English and half of it was in French. He used one word, which struck me as a great word in French but for which the English word does [...]
Climate change – humanity is paralysed
Posted in: Humanity Tags: climate change, context, Continuity, Humanity, livability system, retrograde, unintended consequence
Sunspots, man made, sunspots, man made, believe it is ‘true’, believe it is not ‘true’, etc, gosh and this level of discussion helps us how? For years humanity has been flummoxed by its own lack of ability to – once and for all – figure out what is happening with climate change. It is heating [...]
Human institutions – for humanity?
Posted in: Humanity Tags: alternatives, capitalism, democracy, institution, politics, socialism, system
I had the chance to join a friend to go to a preview of Michael Moore’s film Capitalism – A Love Affair. This preview had the added benefit of hearing what people thought of it, as Paramount and Toastmasters had set the session up to include a chat. In amongst the many views were things [...]
What a piece of work is a man….in search of truth – again
I have been studying philosophy in the era of Shakespeare. As part of that I watched Kenneth Branagh’s excellent full-length version of Hamlet, set in 1800s, later than the original setting of the play, which was Elizabethan England. In this video clip is a soliloquy from act II scene 2. The same soliloquy in a [...]
Purpose and value – a company perspective

If you spent some time visiting several Fortune 500 web sites, how many of those do you think would clearly state their purpose and value to humanity? How many would have people in their brand somewhere? How many would talk about the passion they have for making the world a better place and how their [...]
Sleep, daily rhythms and gaining time
We behave in a particular way and then we say “I am like this….”, when in fact we’ve just created habits, which may be good ones or bad ones, but not impossible to change, if wished. Confession: “I am an evening person”, is nothing but a habit I’ve created for myself, believing my own gospel [...]
Epicurus on future
Posted in: Foresight, Humanity, Life Tags: Epicurus future foresight
We must remember that the future is neither wholly ours nor wholly not ours, so that neither must we count upon it as quite certain to come, nor despair of it as quite certain not to come. Epicurus, 341-270 b.C., Greek philosopher, Letter to Menouceus, The Essential Epicurus: Letters, Principal Doctrines, Vatican Sayings, and Fragments [...]
