大混乱の時代に生かす、先を読む力

Society often prioritizes the immediate, leaving future generations at risk as seen in depleted farmlands and unprepared responses to crises like Ebola. True foresight—the ability to think ahead and act for tomorrow—has driven civilization forward, yet is undermined by how we measure, reward, and imagine progress today. Stories of perennial crops, a tsunami-safe nuclear plant, and century-old shared fisheries reveal that it is possible to align present gains with long-term stewardship. Embracing an ancestral mindset can help individuals and institutions reclaim their role as good ancestors, ensuring what we cherish now endures for generations.
