Thinking in the 21st Century

This will be a survey of concepts and disciplines — from complexity science to design thinking — that will be shaping our future. More ambitiously, I’m going to incorporate a bit of novelty by introducing some concepts and practices I’ve been developing independently.

Some of the questions answered:

• Which modes of knowledge and thought will thrive in the 21st century?
• Exactly how will knowledge and ideas in the future emerge from our current knowledge and ideas?
• Which disciplines and fields will gain or lose stature?
• What should we be learning?… What should we be un-learning?

A lot of posts already address some aspects of it:

• Social Media, Structure, and the Creative Cycle
• Learning Heuristically
• Managing Our Cognitive Biases
• Meta Factors
• The New Digital World-View
• Creative Philosophy
• The New Pragmatist

I’d also like to make it an ongoing project in order to keep incorporating new ideas — especially to make it more globally-oriented by diving into different cultural backgrounds.
