Forum For the Future Megacities On the Move ?
Have you heard of Forum for the Future before? Here's what they have to say about themselves in their own words..... They are a U.K. think tank organization that partners with governments,and huge corporations such as PepsiCo,Vodafone,AzkoNobel, to help think, and plan together a better future for the world. Figuring out ways to cut carbon emissions, have better urban transportation, help people change their way of consuming etc... Doesn't sound like such a bad thing? What do you think? I'm not here to bash this organization. I just want to get the information out there. If we don't start thinking for ourselves,someone else will do the thinking for us,and plan our future. Here are the four possible future scenarios that forum for the future created for the year 2040. You need to watch them in the order that I have posted them. Here is a disclaimer from forum for the future...."Forum for the Future’s scenarios are not predictions or depictions of desirable futures which we wish to promote, and they do not represent our vision of a sustainable future. They are pictures of different possible futures, designed to help people understand the major trends that are shaping our world. They aim to challenge, inspire and excite, so that people feel motivated to plan for a better, more sustainable future. "Ok....then what is their vision of the future?? Just asking. "Planned-opolis" doesn't sound like my vision of the future. It sounds more like George Orwell's 1984. "Sprawl-ville", sounded like an episode of Dr.Who when he travels to a parallel New York City,only to find people living in their vehicles, stuck in a traffic jam which has lasted for 20 years. I won't even comment on the other two supposed," possibilities". What you need to know is that these,"charitable think tank organizations" are real and influence the way we think, consume,and live our lives. Yes fellow Christian, you too. Lets pay attention to what goes on in high places.
