Extended Reality: World Building
This month we explore the Wicked Problem many of us are feeling, Identity Crisis. We define this problem as the escalating loss of contextual meaning related to tribal connections and individual purpose, as well as the loss of traditional identities, belonging and meaning due to exponential change in societal dynamics, governing capacity and technological velocity.
We REFRAME this problem as Extended Reality. We believe adopting and integrating a mutually interdependent reality that manifests the benefits of “we” over “me” is the response to this Wicked Problem.
CONTENT 1: WICKED OPPORTUNITY PODCAST
Are you beginning to see a new identity for humanity on the horizon, rising out of the ashes of the broken and outdated identities of siloed, disconnected and closed systems? Futurists and foresight professionals use various methods to create alternative visions of the future, and that’s exactly what we’ll do during this episode, painting a picture of a world that adopts the Wicked Opportunity of Extended Reality. How can we redefine the way we think, frame, connect, produce and use to co-create an environment that promotes the idea of “we” over the corrosive crisis of “me, me, me”? A new vision requires a new way of measuring meaning.
