2021 Predictions: What Comes Next?
Biological passports, moral dilemmas, nationalism, stimulus, inflation, cold war-style proxy fights, digital gentrification, the evolution of remote work, and more.
What I like about the near future is that we can draw on past events to inform likely future outcomes. If we experience X and Y events, we can expect that a Z event is likely to follow. This type of prediction is a little like following a trail of breadcrumbs to their logical conclusion.
It’s important to look ahead and try to predict what comes next. Regardless of whether or not all predictions are correct. It’s important because it allows us to build an action plan for what might come next. Good predictions are a little bit like guessing the word on Wheel of Fortune. You try to collect just enough clues to make the right guess and solve the puzzle.
Below are my 2021 predictions. You shouldn’t take them as gospel. Instead, I hope you find them thought-provoking and that they provide you with a new approach for thinking about the year ahead.
