“Blind to the deeper process of change, humanity has no idea it’s on the brink of epic, existential transformation.”

The Rethinking Humanity video series is based on the book, Rethinking Humanity: Five Foundational Sector Disruptions, the Lifecycle of Civilizations, and the Coming Age of Freedom by James Arbib and Tony Seba, published by RethinkX.

We are on the cusp of the fastest, deepest, most consequential transformation of human civilization in history. During the 2020s, key technologies will converge to completely disrupt the five foundational sectors that underpin the global economy, and with them every major industry in the world today. In information, energy, food, transportation, and materials, costs will fall by a 10x or more, while production processes an order of magnitude more efficient will use 90% fewer natural resources with 10x-100x less waste.

The knock-on effects for society will be as profound as the extraordinary possibilities that emerge. For the first time in history, we could overcome poverty easily. Access to all our basic needs could become a fundamental human right. But this is just one future outcome. The alternative could see our civilization collapse into a new dark age. Which path we take depends on the choices we make, starting today. The stakes could not be higher.

“To enter the Age of Freedom we must do three things right: Rethink, Enable and Bridge.” Episode 8 of the Rethinking Humanity series by @RethinkX offers a powerful guide to make a different choice to what has gone before: to embrace the unknown and set out on humanity’s greatest and most perilous journey. Knowing that our old system will not survive the next decade, we must create a new one, fast. To step up into the Age of Freedom there are three things we must do: 1) Rethink: break free of our rigid beliefs and explore. 2) Enable: accelerate new production and organizing systems, decentralizing, prototyping and iterating as we go. 3) Bridge: build a walkway to our future by putting humanity first.
