Overcoming Disruption by Reacting, Reexamining, and Reimagining the Future | MacArthur Foundation

 
Four hexagonal images showing groups of people in various settings, set against a purple background.
In his annual essay, John Palfrey writes that our future is determined by how we react to the disruption around us and reexamine our systems, so we can reimagine a safer, freer future.

“We must do more than respond to issues as they arise. We also have an obligation to identify what made our systems so fragile in the first place so we can better protect ourselves moving forward.”
