Dear humans of 2020. In your attempts to restore the economy, the rush back to work will also restore rapid virus infections. But this choice has much greater consequences that won\u2019t be understood for decades to come. The interruption of the crucial pause that has been a key for the transformation needed for you to take control and act on your future will be the greatest opportunity loss of your time.
\nI was only 15 years old during the time you are hearing this as I witnessed the adults I have relied on, and leaders I had trusted act like scared, selfish children. Now, 30 years later I have the opportunity to be the grown-up and do my part to help save our civilization.
\nIt is crucial for you to keep the wisdom growing through the social actions and shared storytelling that got you through the first half of the pandemic. Storytelling is our human superpower. Stories allow us to make a shared reality from our individual memories and our collective imagination. It\u2019s how you will create the pathway to the post-pandemic future that you want.
\nHarness the arts and social diversity to guide you during this next phase. You are entering into a global revolution that must be led by the creative renaissance to help you level up your human character. Use your ability to recognize patterns and signals to assemble communities that can collectively create stories that will lead to the kinds of futures that keep you on the journey to advance human intelligence.
\nThere is only one way out of your fast-approaching 2050 dystopia. The technology will come. It\u2019s who you are, as you build and implement these systems into your lives that is the ultimate precursor to the world you create.
