#Forwardism

Behind today’s headlines, significant megatrends are emerging that will reshape our lives in tremendous ways. The United Nations predicts that humanity will be 800 per cent richer than today by the year 2100, with a projected increase of 300–500 per cent wealth by the 2070s. And we won’t have to worry about extreme weather events if we start allocating two per cent of the annual global GDP to adapt to extreme weather. We must turn today’s ‘Capitalism of Greed’ into ‘Karma Capitalism’, a kind of trickle-down capitalism that is good for everyone—what we call Happytalism or the Happynomy. We should tackle loneliness and anxiety and embrace love in all its varieties.
