About this listen

In this episode of The Knowledge Hub, hosted by Prof Ignatius Gous, the guest is Pieter Geldenhuys, a futurist and technology expert. His approach is restrained. No grand forecasts. No certainty. Instead, structure.

Geldenhuys frames the future through three interacting forces:

  • Demographic megatrends
  • Exponential technologies
  • Complex adaptive systems

Each operates at a different tempo. Demography moves slowly. Technology scales rapidly. Complexity ensures that interactions between the two produce outcomes that are hard to predict.

The result is not chaos. It is unevenness.
