EP 06 - Gerd Leonhard - Technology vs Humanity

In Episode 6 Nick talks with Futurist Gerd Leonhard about:
The importance of developing Foresight for everyone
Our Star Trek future – as long as we collaborate
Key skills that humans need to develop
The future is a mindset not a timeframe
The social aspect of learning
The illusion of not having to work hard to ‘learn’
There is no such thing as ‘the truth’
