Back in New World Same Humans #21, I wrote about the Four Futures framework. That instalment became the most popular NWSH email ever. So this week I revisit the method.
I’ve used the framework to create four scenarios around a NWSH obsession: the future of truth and democracy.
And this week also counts as the first ever interactive instalment, because I’ve created an online form where you can vote for the scenario you think is most likely to happen. See the ‘Let’s vote!’ section below for more.
Listen, enjoy, and don’t forget to vote! I’ll announce the results in Wednesday’s New Week Same Humans.
If you prefer to read this instalment, go here for the text version of New World Same Humans #35.
🗳️ Let’s vote!
You’ve listened to four scenarios on the future of truth, democracy and the online space. Now I want to know what you think!
I’ve created a simple online form so that you can tell me which of the four futures you believe is most likely to happen. I’ll reveal the results – and which scenario I think we’ll see – in Wednesday’s New Week Same Humans.
***Voting will only take five seconds, and you can vote here***
If you want to explain your choice, just hit reply and drop me a line. I’d love to hear from you.
The power of now
Thanks for listening this week.
The Four Futures framework is a powerful device. As with all futures methods, though, its real power lies in the way it causes us to think with greater clarity about the world as it is now.
At New World Same Humans, we’re building a community dedicated to understanding the big trends, forces and ideas reshaping the world we live in.
There’s one thing you can do to help make this community more useful. That is, invite more people inside!
So if you found today’s instalment engaging, why not take a second to forward this email to one person – a friend, family member or colleague – who shares our fascination with the future of truth and democracy? Or share New World Same Humans across one of your social networks, and let people know why you find this newsletter valuable. Just hit the share button!
Your membership of our community is valued. I’ll be back on Wednesday; until then, be well.
David.
