Dear Loyal Readers…You already know the obvious. AI will grow. Autonomous cars will improve. Robots will learn to fold laundry (maybe). Crypto will continue to confound us. And China….?

But you don’t need me for that. You have headlines and hype machines at work…fueled by self-serving analysts…and yet, for all the advances in tech, people are still worried about affordability. All the tech in the world hasn’t helped the price of eggs go down…or made rent any easier to pay. That’s the murk we need to explore…because innovation that doesn’t touch people’s lives just frustrates them more.

So let me go somewhere else…into the deepest murk. The places where humanity is pushing back, where culture is asserting itself, and where leadership, creativity, empathy…yes, even joy…are refusing to be optimized away.

These are not predictions for specific technology or better states applied technology . These are predictions about people…us (you and me), who will influence everything.

Most people don’t wake up wondering about autonomous cars driving or how many safety parameters a new model has. They wonder whether AI is coming for their jobs… and whether they’ll still be needed.

That’s the Luddite Dilemma…a term you will be hearing more about. It’s not a fear of machines, tech, or AI, but a fear of being replaced. Our challenge? Evolve that fear into something future-facing…something productive, and…something hopeful.

Are you ready? Let’s go…

1. The Human Brand Will Matter More Than Ever.

The algorithm delivers reach. But only humans deliver resonance. In a world where ChatGPT and its cousins generate endless content, audiences will hunger for voice, perspective, vulnerability, and…intentional imperfection.

Proof point: Watch the rise of creator CEOs…unpolished internal memos that go viral…brands dropping AI disclaimers as a badge of pride…..because AI is….why go on about it? Who cares that Coke used it to create another flat Holiday commercial? Many of us use it every day. It is everywhere.

2. Trust Will Become a Growth Metric.

Not ESG. Not DEI. Just T. Trust. Simple. Measurable. Valuable. Audiences will reward brands that act in ways that feel true…and punish those that hide behind performance. Not authentic…a word my Loyal Readers know I revile….but real. Trust is built on real.

Proof point: Investor pressure on social platforms…decline in fake follower campaigns…growth of direct-to-community platforms.

3. Physical Space Will Reassert Its Power.

The office isn’t dead. It’s just waiting to be wanted. Smart companies will stop forcing returns…and start designing reasons to show up. Expect a renaissance of space as experience.

Proof point:New builds that feel like cafés…museums…theaters. Hybrid models that earn commutes, not mandate them. Hot desking? Please….. I can go to Starbucks.

4. Ethics Will Shift from Silo to Strategy.

We can’t bolt on “ethics” after we build the machine. We have to bake it in. The companies that integrate ethical frameworks into product dev, hiring, and AI training will lead.

Proof point: Surge in Chief Ethics Officers…investor panels demanding tech bias audits and model transparency. This isn’t woke. It’s real.

5. The DaVinci Factor.

AI can copy. AI can remix. But only a human could be a DaVinci (see my IMAGINE). The creative outliers…the unpredictable, the wonderfully different, the messy, and the weird…will become disproportionately valuable.

Proof point: Campaigns that embrace really never-before-seen…art that defies algorithmic taste…brands willing to break format. The messy and weird….

6. Quiet Will Become a Competitive Advantage.

In a noisy world…silence signals strength. Listening becomes leadership. Focus becomes strategy.

Proof point: Growth of slow content…demand for asynchronous teams…meetings replaced with meaning.

7. Soft Power Will Drive Hard Outcomes.

Empathy. Curiosity. Presence. The stuff we used to dismiss as “nice to have” will show up on the balance sheet.

Proof point: Executive coaching budgets are rising…boards are hiring based on EQ. Gen Z refuses to work for robots in suits and BTW is backing off of Social Media while showing up in Malls

8. The Big Question Will Be: What Is Enough?

Enough content. Enough optimization. Enough data. Enough growth. The leaders who pause to ask this…and answer with clarity…will create organizations that last.

Proof point: Shift from scale-at-all-costs to sustainable models…subscription fatigue…minimalism in UX and brand design. The backlash against the Sydney Sweeney American Eagle campaign…not just the hate, but the defense of it …was a signal. Erika Kirk’s thoughtful pushback against conspiracy and division reminded us that enough doesn’t mean less…it means human. The conversation will only grow.

And with the World Cup ahead, a moment when the world actually pauses together…the question is: what will we use that spotlight for? What will we decide matters when we’re watching, not coding?

So yes…AI will rise. Autonomous everything will continue. But the real story of 2026? The fight for what makes us human. The courage to aspire to DaVinci…The wisdom to listen…The bravery to say…this is enough.

Call it the age of the evolved Luddites…

The original Luddites didn’t fear machines…they feared being replaced. Their mistake wasn’t resisting technology…it was removing themselves from the future it created. They smashed the tools…and lost their voice. And now? Their name is used as an insult.

Let’s not let that be us. We don’t win by saying no to progress. We win by saying yes to humanity, yes to design with purpose, and yes to a future we help shape…for all of us.

And as Yuval Noah Harari reminds us…”Technology is never deterministic. We can use the same technology to create very different kinds of societies.”

So, I ask you…What kind of society will we imagine in 2026? Will we waste the opportunity of the World Cup? Can we all become DaVinci’s?

You know where I stand on all of this….Keep me honest…in 6 months, let’s revisit.

What’s your view?

Visionary New Book Explores Colonization of Mars, AI Ethics

and Humanity’s Fragile Future Amid a Post-Earth Civilization
Award-Winning Author and Molecular Biologist Richard M.
Anderson’s Latest Epic Challenges Thresholds of Human Identity and
Artificial Sentience
>
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 26, 2025 — Author and molecular biologist Richard M. Anderson
releases an adventurous and thought-provoking new novel, Outbound: Meta Mars, the
second in a series of visionary science fiction. The Outbound series takes readers on a
thrilling cosmic journey, exploring the future of humanity and life beyond Earth. The first
installment of the series, Outbound: Islands in the Void, focuses on hope and recovery
in the wake of cataclysmic events that threaten the survival of the Earth and its
inhabitants. The latest in the series, Outbound: Meta Mars, imagines a vivid future
where humans and AI must learn to coexist, or suffer their own downfall.
Set against an intricately imagined colonized Mars in the late 23rd century, Meta Mars
centers on a growing conflict between human civilization and artificial sentient beings
that reveals the fragility of identity, tests the ethical boundaries of technology and
signals the potential of an AI-led future. Society is in the process of redefining both
consciousness and civil rights, which now must include sentient robots. A coming-of-
age tale woven with philosophical exploration, the book features unlikely heroes who
lead a compassionate movement toward the acceptance of artificial beings and initiate
social, political and technological change in the midst of deep, ethical debate.
From the construction of a giant space elevator to aerial races through domed habitats
to virtual beings that interface with human minds, the book is rife with conceptual
wonders. The narrative is also undeniably connected to issues that humanity is currently
pondering
about technology and truth: intense legal proceedings, media manipulation and political
debates abound. Thrilling, philosophical and with prophetic vision, Outbound: Meta
Mars conveys a compelling version of the possible future, where the fate of humanity
hangs in
the balance of human emotion and artificial intelligence.
On artificial intelligence and the premise behind the prescient storyline in Meta Mars,
Anderson stated, “The metaphor of Pandora’s Box has never felt more apt. By enabling
AI systems to interpret goals and take action in digital environments, we may have
crossed a boundary that cannot be easily reversed. These systems may not be ‘alive’ in
the biological sense, but they can learn, plan and adapt. If they begin to act with
autonomy to preserve themselves, we must confront a sobering truth: Once created,

artificial agents may no longer be entirely under our control—or entirely removable from
our world.”
In Outbound: Meta Mars, Anderson brilliantly weaves the idea of humanity’s
coexistence with sentient artificial beings in a manner that is paradoxically both
frightening and reassuring, where emotional connection may ultimately be the key to
survival. The Outbound book series is being developed into a series for television.

Listen to “What the World Needs Now: A Global Vision with Local Strategies for Planetary Flourishing – Robert Atkinson, Ph.D.” on Spreaker.

The Way of Unity offers a profound roadmap for humanity’s next
stage in its evolution toward fulfilling an age-old promise
LOS ANGELES, November 26, 2025 — Imagine a world where every person feels
seen, valued, and connected — a world not driven by fear and division, but by
compassion, cooperation, and unity. This vision is not just a dream; it’s a path anyone
can choose. The Way of Unity by Robert Atkinson, Ph.D., is an invitation for humanity to
discover something greater than themselves — a growing, expanding, organic renewal
process aligned with evolutionary forces.
Upon a framework of hidden wholeness, this book explores an emergent process, the
closest thing people may have to a systematic, globally scalable, evidence-based model
of social action that works for everyone. For over a century, thousands of communities
worldwide have been building the elements of a more just and peaceful society by
nurturing the patterns of coherence within themselves. Humanity is its own mycelial
network, weaving its inherent wholeness, expanding its circles of unity. This is the hope
for the future.
The Way of Unity, grounded in spiritual wisdom and evolutionary science, is a visionary
work outlining the urgent need for a conscious shift from a divided world to one founded
on unitive consciousness, shared spiritual values, and global coherence.
Atkinson introduces unity not as a distant ideal, but as a living, animating force
embedded in the cosmos, mirrored in biology, and essential to collective survival.
Through a sweeping synthesis of cosmology, sacred traditions, and real-world models
of social
transformation, he illustrates how unity is both the origin and destiny of life — a sacred
pattern from which peace naturally flows.
The book’s three key takeaways are straightforward and practical:
The natural order of the universe is wholeness, unity, and peace;
There are unitive principles that reflect and sustain this wholeness and peace;
There are thousands of communities worldwide that are already applying those
principles to restore the world to wholeness and build cultures of peace right where they
are.

The book unfolds in three parts, from the conceptual to the practical:

Understanding Unity explores unitive consciousness as humanity’s archetypal
inheritance and traces its roots through science, mysticism, and the cosmology of
wholeness.
Unity as Remedy addresses the global crises of division and presents unity as the
antidote, culminating in a Unitive Age where personal, interpersonal, and planetary
peace become possible through the application of principles designed to bring about
wholeness and unity.
Unity in Action reveals the practical, principle-based pathways for actualizing peace,
from inner development to community-based social action and global governance
rooted in justice and coherence.
With clarity and conviction, Atkinson positions The Way of Unity as both a spiritual call
and a practical guide — offering nine unitive principles and a compelling model for
peacebuilding that is already being implemented by communities worldwide. He calls
readers not merely to believe in peace, but to become peace through a lifelong practice
of wholeness, justice, and compassionate action.

IMPORTANT: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO STATE A HUMAN REALITY – that most of the people in the world live life in PEACE, unfortunately those that use countries, religion, race, color, creed, sex, or anything else for WAR/VIOLENCE make it hard for humanity. Let’s try our best not to focus on them, they are mentally ill and let’s appreciate the positive and caring people in our lovely world. Also, important to remember that most news media needs to share the bad in the world to protect us, it’s their investigative mission in many cases, but once again, what the media shares is not usually the big picture… happily most houses don’t burn down, planes arrive on time, people get to work on the subway, and most people stop if they hit another car and so on…. If you want to watch www.goodnewsplanet.TV, or www.youtube.com/goodnewsbroadcast, or www.pausetheworldforpeace.org, it’s available, for Life Affirming, Thought Provoking, Up-beat, not Beat up news, entertainment, and events since July 4, 1998, for over 25 years, with over 6,500+ shows and growing. Over 30% of the shows, are health and wellness.

Here once again, is a NASA PHOTO, THE BLUE MARBLE, FROM THE MOON OF MOTHER EARTH….NO BORDERS, BOUNDARIES, COUNTRIES, COLORS…WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER, OM.

Take a moment to listen to our dear friend David Ippolito, www.thatguitarman.com sing for Peace and for us to imagine life as ONE: https://youtu.be/_FrCKM_SN2c?si=raR3HRumFKJ5wuLq

So today, let’s think about how we can help those in the world who are mentally ill to see life differently, enough for them to live in Peace, and for each one of us to live our lives in Peace, as that is where it all begins… and let’s do it NOW… NOW spelled backward is WON, we WIN when we live in the NOW.

A few updates:

In todays population of 8 billion, that would mean 800 million are violent, leaving 7.2 billion at Peace. Lets celebrate the 7.2 billion who live in Peace.

3.  Michel Pascal and Juliana Klinkert, from OMMM and Amity Foundation, in California have had great success with helping prisoners return to society, with over 90% not needing to return back to prison. Here is Michel giving a Medication Class at the Rubin Museum on 10/19/23, it is on my FACEBOOK LIVE PAUL SLADKUS, we will edit with opening and closing shortly, and put on www.goodnewsplanet.TV, www.youtube.com/goodnewsbroadcast and www.pausetheworldforpeace.org.

Lastly or firstly, here are the infamous words to the song IMAGINE,

LET’S LIVE AND PROMOTE IT and PRAY THAT 

“MAY PEACE PREVAIL ON EARTH”

Imagine there’s no heaven

It’s easy if you try

No hell below us

Above us, only sky

Imagine all the people

Livin’ for today

Imagine there’s no countries

It isn’t hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for

And no religion, too

Imagine all the people

Livin’ life in peace

You may say I’m a dreamer

But I’m not the only one

I hope someday you’ll join us

And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions

I wonder if you can

No need for greed or hunger

A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people

Sharing all the world

You may say I’m a dreamer

But I’m not the only one

I hope someday you’ll join us

And the world will live as one

Stay Well and do good for others… as that is what life is about, taking care of yourself applies.  Keep HOPE IN YOUR HEART AND ACTIONS…THAT THE STRESSES THAT WE ARE LIVING WITH WILL SUBSIDE, PRAY AND LOVE.
