Goldilocks and the three futures

Goldilocks and the three futures

Thinking about the future often adopts a relatively short-term timeframe. We should be more courageous and explore longer timeframes, especially the next 100 years. This helps us break from our assumptions, consider what systemic changes may be desirable, and how they may play out beyond the short-term. Goldilocks and the three bears provides a useful metaphorical prompt for exploring different timeframes.
