Theme: Future is fluid

Too often, we’re conditioned to perceive time as an unstoppable force flowing in one direction, and we often view the future through the limited lens of our own experiences. That is why it is important to expose ourselves to new ideas, new thoughts, and new beginnings. We may find that our future is not always a consequence of the present, and our present may reflect differently of the past. There are slim boundaries among the past, the present, and the future. We’re encountering a moment when past, present, and future exist all at once, and we have the power to make changes from this place.
At this year’s TEDxQingboSt, we’ll be approaching the future and moving forward in a different way to showcase the relationship between humanity and the future.
The future is never fixed and always fluid. Let’s explore together on January 19th 2019.
