Are there any theories on evolution and change that can help explain the macro changes we are experiencing around the world? Do these theories shed any light on what we can expect in the future?
Welcome to the 21st Century where humanity has become conscious of the interconnected and interdependent nature of reality. Our way of living has created a multitude of crises in finance, commerce, health care, energy, food, and climate change. Thanks to globalization and information technology, 3 billion people were connected to the world in the last ten years and perpetuated a consumption model where people bought what they did not need and could not afford. The result is a series of great convergences and that the essence of everything is changing. The Essence Revolution™ has begun and over the next fifteen years the essence of capitalism, socialism, industries, life, living and the relation of nations will dramatically change. What can humanity do to survive and thrive? Answers become clear if we evaluate the sciences of how animals, industries, corporations and even humans evolve. Change is the natural state of evolution, yet change creates tension. What has been set in motion cannot be easily undone. The solution to our challenges is the same as it has always been; it is not the strongest, richest or most powerful that survive, but the most adaptable, and the means to adapt is through innovation.
