The document discusses four key aspects of the future: individuality, diversity, collectivity, and interdisciplinarity. Individuality refers to knowing one's own truth, while diversity promotes developing a positive attitude towards others who are different. Collectivity emphasizes that the future can only be built together by recognizing our interconnectedness. Interdisciplinarity provides the opportunity to solve complex problems by combining insights across academic fields. The overall message is that the future depends on embracing these four concepts.

1. The Future is about
Individuality, Diversity,
Collectivity & Interdisciplinarity

2. Before I Begin
Everything that happens, happens in the present, nobody has seen
the future, so I am just as qualified to speak of the future as you are.

somebody surely will”

together, including everyone.”
His Holiness - Pope Francisco 2017 TED

14. Collectivity
“the future does have a name, and its name is Hope.
Feeling hopeful does not mean to be optimistically
naïve and ignore the tragedy humanity is facing. Hope
is the virtue of a heart that doesn't lock itself into
darkness, that doesn't dwell on the past, does not
simply get by in the present, but is able to see a
tomorrow. Hope is the door that opens onto the future.”
His Holiness - Pope Francisco 2017 TED

“the future is, most of all, in the hands of
those people who recognize the other as a
"you" and themselves as part of an "us." We all
