Show Notes
In this episode of The Knowledge Hub, hosted by Prof Ignatius Gous, the guest is Pieter Geldenhuys, a futurist and technology expert. His approach is restrained. No grand forecasts. No certainty. Instead, structure.
Geldenhuys frames the future through three interacting forces:
- Demographic megatrends
- Exponential technologies
- Complex adaptive systems
Each operates at a different tempo. Demography moves slowly. Technology scales rapidly. Complexity ensures that interactions between the two produce outcomes that are hard to predict.
The result is not chaos. It is unevenness.
