Our future inner worlds

An area I love to explore is how our inner worlds are changing and how this may affect our capacity for evolution.

My doctorate in Existential Psychotherapy identified the levers required for human centric transformation and ultimately evolution. The levers include context, inner worlds, others, and meaning. 

A dystopian view would suggest that our relationship with our context is changing, for some we are becoming more contextual and others less so. Our inner worlds are changing as we offload functionality onto machines, curate and confuse online and offline identities, get anxious, lose idiosyncrasy, and agency. Our relationship recipes are changing as we isolate, and intersubjective spaces become dominated by technology. Lastly our sources of meaning seem to be moving from transpersonal to individual meaning.

Let’s have a conversation about how AI might affect these levers and ultimately our evolution.  Let’s explore how we can retain human-centric transformation alongside technological transformation so that we can achieve human and humane outcomes.

I will be presenting a paper on this at the World Futures Conference in Cape Town in October 2025.
