Back in 2016, the World Economic Forum published a startling list of eight predictions describing what the world could look like by the year 2030. At the time, many of these scenarios seemed…
So guys, as I said, uh, at the introduction of this, um, I thought this was a very interesting, uh, topic that we could talk about tonight, because, uh, y- you're gonna be shocked.
I think the vast majority of us who are wide awake are not gonna be so much bewildered or stunned or shocked by this, but we're gonna revisit these eight, quote unquote ...
And, and you guys listen by Apple or by Spotify, I'm using the air quotations, eight predictions, yeah, predictions, uh, for the world by the year 2030.
I wanna visit this tonight, break this down, a- because I thought this would be interesting, 'cause a lot has happened in 10 years.
Think about how life was in 2016, everything that was going on, how different the culture was, this and that, and think where, what all has happened in 10 years.

Um, in November of 2016, the World Economic Forum published an article titled Eight Predictions for the World in 2030.
At that time, many of its projections sounded like something that was derived d- uh, directly from a futuristic science fiction movie or some kind of a novel.

Who would've thought that we would see what we've saw in 10 years? And here we are, we are four years out to 2030, and we have to ask ourself, how many of these so-called predictions have already come to fruition or, or they are unfolding right before our eyes? Now, the original piece, uh, that we're talking about was written by Suri Parker, and who drew upon the perspectives of these so-called experts asso- associated with the WEF's Global Future Councils.
Uh, you know, it's the whole, it's the whole dialect of, you know, create a crisis, allow the people to respond to the crisis, and then create a solution for the crisis.
