I really like to sort of envy how you

I really like to sort of envy how you after a couple of minutes can actually

after a couple of minutes can actually

after a couple of minutes can actually predict the future in a very serious way

predict the future in a very serious way

predict the future in a very serious way so we need some tools I brought four

so we need some tools I brought four

so we need some tools I brought four tools with you and I brought a list of

tools with you and I brought a list of

tools with you and I brought a list of people that inspired me and hopefully

people that inspired me and hopefully

people that inspired me and hopefully also inspired you and you already saw

also inspired you and you already saw

also inspired you and you already saw bubbles he’s just one of them but first

bubbles he’s just one of them but first

bubbles he’s just one of them but first of all well the problem is of course in

of all well the problem is of course in

of all well the problem is of course in school time we everyone has been told

school time we everyone has been told

school time we everyone has been told you cannot predict the future we need a

you cannot predict the future we need a

you cannot predict the future we need a timer by the way and the problem is that

timer by the way and the problem is that

timer by the way and the problem is that it actually can be done the future is

it actually can be done the future is

it actually can be done the future is actually already here if you look to

actually already here if you look to

actually already here if you look to certain signals because the future is

certain signals because the future is

certain signals because the future is built of what we are and what we’re

built of what we are and what we’re

built of what we are and what we’re doing right now but the problem is how

doing right now but the problem is how

doing right now but the problem is how to see it how to observe what is

to see it how to observe what is

to see it how to observe what is actually happening and there’s

actually happening and there’s

actually happening and there’s Distortion there’s a lot of distortion

Distortion there’s a lot of distortion

Distortion there’s a lot of distortion by giving a vision a objective vision on

by giving a vision a objective vision on

by giving a vision a objective vision on the future and well the most problematic

the future and well the most problematic

the future and well the most problematic distortion comes from politicians like

distortion comes from politicians like

distortion comes from politicians like this interview it was in 2007 for Forbes

this interview it was in 2007 for Forbes

this interview it was in 2007 for Forbes magazine and they asked me what one

magazine and they asked me what one

magazine and they asked me what one thing you were sure would happen but

thing you were sure would happen but

thing you were sure would happen but didn’t 2007 already just ten years ago

didn’t 2007 already just ten years ago

didn’t 2007 already just ten years ago and my answer was the climate change

and my answer was the climate change

and my answer was the climate change would be taken seriously by governments

would be taken seriously by governments

would be taken seriously by governments and there’s an entire story behind that

and there’s an entire story behind that

and there’s an entire story behind that you can look it up but actually when

you can look it up but actually when

you can look it up but actually when when the signals were there for climate

when the signals were there for climate

when the signals were there for climate change on what level we were not sure

change on what level we were not sure

change on what level we were not sure about but that didn’t happen that much

about but that didn’t happen that much

about but that didn’t happen that much at all if an Al Gore was active and

at all if an Al Gore was active and

at all if an Al Gore was active and people like that but still it didn’t

people like that but still it didn’t

people like that but still it didn’t happen large corporations just a

happen large corporations just a

happen large corporations just a marketing level on doing some

marketing level on doing some

marketing level on doing some interesting things on sustainability so

interesting things on sustainability so

interesting things on sustainability so there’s the problem how can we filter

there’s the problem how can we filter

there’s the problem how can we filter other’s political engagements and

other’s political engagements and

other’s political engagements and objective observations well let me tell

objective observations well let me tell

objective observations well let me tell you if you look through the future you

you if you look through the future you

you if you look through the future you got to be realistic and

got to be realistic and

got to be realistic and realize what is actually not changing

realize what is actually not changing

realize what is actually not changing because most things in our life and

because most things in our life and

because most things in our life and generations before us did not change

generations before us did not change

generations before us did not change I’ll come back to that later and you

I’ll come back to that later and you

I’ll come back to that later and you have to take care of your sourcing where

happy but it’s not what we want to see

happy but it’s not what we want to see because we want to have signals to

because we want to have signals to

because we want to have signals to detect what’s going to happen in the
