In these VUCA times arguing any particular outcome is inevitable underestimates the true unknowability and stupefying complexity of the situation and the future of the next 50 years. Whatever convincing looking data set you show me, there’s another bloke with an equally convincing data set and confident sounding voice who’s saying the opposite outcome is inevitable. And none of us really know at this point. I guess we never did. But isn’t true mystery and emergence so much more interesting than false certainty of inevitability?😀
