Theme: Big Hopes for the Next Decade

We stand at the cusp of the next decade, our collective fates intertwined in ways completely unimaginable in years past.

Headlines remind us of things gone awry. It appears that our future looms before us, that we are ruining everything we touch and bringing about the extinction of our own kind.

And yet, against this apocalyptic background are a whole host of new ideas, innovations, and processes that defy dogma. We call them HOPES. They represent what our future could look like by applying the tools we already know.

Here are nine questions to get us thinking about out collective future:

1. What is it like to learn like a baby again?

2. Is our culture controlled by the media?

3. What makes life worth celebrating?

4. How close are we to sustainable energy?

5. Is simplicity gone forever?

6. How far is our imagination frontier?

7. In what world will we live tomorrow?

8. What's the price of clean water?

9. Do we have room for disappearing cultures?
