Frequently Asked Questions

The mindmap is a visual guide to understanding the interconnected forces shaping our world — from climate change and AI-driven disinformation to the deeper evolutionary shift in human consciousness. It helps you see beyond daily crises to recognize the larger patterns driving global transformation. Think of it as a "cheat sheet" for navigating the next decade. The mindmap has links to a research database with more than 3,000 peer-reviewed papers and public policy documents. The mindmap is the ideal tool for the intellectually curious.

The book is a gripping novel that helps with understanding the interplay between forces shaping our world. It is a "faction" - a mix between fact and fiction. The same research database that backs the mindmap informed the writing of the book. However, the book is ideal for those who aren't interested or don't have the time to delve into all of the copious footnotes that come with the mindmap. The narrative format can help us embrace the complexity of life. It enables us to grasp a thread of our experience and follow it toward profound truths.

By 2030, systemic pressures — economic, ecological, and technological — will force a reckoning. A global currency reset is likely, and how we respond will determine whether we double down on outdated systems (old school thinking) or transition to collaborative, regenerative models (emergent thinking). This isn’t speculation — it’s the culmination of centuries-old societal cycles, backed by public statements made by many global institutions and world leaders.

On the surface, 2030 might seem like just the start of another decade. But if you look closely at the news, policy shifts, and economic signals, you’ll notice a convergence of trends — climate policy, digital currencies, AI-driven influence, and global governance reforms — all pointing toward a major reset in how society, money, and power are organized. In addition, a number of global institutions (World Bank, UN, WEF, etc.) have publicly declared 2030 as a date for a reset. The “deadline” is not about a single event, but about the culmination of changes already underway, many of which have been in place for a number of decades. Worth noting is that the last Great Depression commenced with "Black Thursday" on October 24, 1929, almost 100 years ago. That reset moment led to the 1930s, a decade of severe economic hardship during which President Franklin Roosevelt introduced reforms to the momentary system. In other words, we have historical examples of what is likely to occur.

Consciousness is our ability to be aware — of ourselves, our choices, and the world around us. In times of rapid change and uncertainty, this awareness becomes crucial. When we raise our consciousness, we see beyond automatic habits and inherited beliefs, and we become more able to notice the bigger patterns shaping our lives — not just the daily headlines or emotional reactions. At this pivotal moment in history, heightened consciousness helps us recognize the end of one era and the emergence of another. It allows us to step back from fear and distraction, make wiser decisions, and participate more fully in shaping a future that aligns with our deepest values and collective well-being. In short, consciousness is what enables us to move from reacting to circumstances, to intentionally creating what comes next.

Powerful groups — both global institutions and financial elites — use AI-driven social media mis-, dis-, and malinformation campaigns to keep us fixated on surface-level conflicts (personalities, climate debates, culture wars, global conflicts, etc.) These distractions prevent us from noticing the deeper restructuring of money, power, and governance happening behind the scenes. What's important to know is that this behavior is normal and to be expected during the final phases of any empire.

A new global monetary system has been announced by a number of groups like the WEF, IMF, and UN. This has happened before in history, for example the Bretton Woods Agreement in 1945 after the Second World War. Monetary resets are framed as a solution to economic instability. However, accepting the coming reset without scrutiny could mean surrendering autonomy to centralized systems. The choice isn’t just about money — it’s a vote for whether we prioritize control or collaboration.

The signs are everywhere if you know how to spot them. Governments and global institutions are openly discussing new economic models, digital currencies, and “Great Reset” initiatives. At the same time, AI-powered campaigns shape public opinion, often nudging us toward accepting sweeping changes as inevitable. These aren’t hidden conspiracies — they’re unfolding in public, but often lost in the noise of daily headlines.

The term “Great Reset” has attracted conspiracy theories, but the actual initiative is a real, publicly discussed agenda from global organizations like the World Economic Forum. While some claims are exaggerated, the fact remains: powerful actors are using crises as opportunities to reshape economies, governance, and even the nature of money. The real question is whether we’re paying attention to how these changes affect our autonomy and future choices.

These are symptoms, not the root cause. The real challenge is the outdated "operating system" driving society — one that prioritizes growth over balance. While there have been many groups attempting to address symptoms, very little progress has been made. Instead, there is an emerging form of consciousness that offers a framework to address all these issues by redesigning systems at their core.

Your daily choices — where you spend money, how you engage online, what communities you support — are votes for the future. Small acts of collaboration (e.g., joining a mutual aid group) strengthen the emergent forms of thinking. As the saying goes: "Drop by drop, a river forms." The most meaningful thing you can do is educate yourself about what the coming monetary reset will mean to the human species so that you can make an informed decision when the time comes.

Yes — for systems built on extraction and hierarchy, which the Western system is. There have been 26 well-documented historical cases of collapse. All known class-based empires have collapsed, without exception. So, collapse is inevitable. The only unknown is the precise timing of when it will happen. A monetary reset is an attempt by the elite class during the late stages of an empire to avoid the collapse and to further concentrate wealth. The efforts rarely succeed. But collapse isn’t the end; it’s a transition to whatever comes next. Our calling — if we wish — is to build the "next system" now, so the transition leads to renewal, not chaos.

For many, daily life may appear unchanged. But beneath the surface, foundational systems — currency, governance, information, and even the way we work — are being quietly restructured. Those who learn to “read between the lines” can spot these shifts early and make wiser, more intentional decisions about their future.

• Learn: Study regenerative systems (e.g., circular economies, bioregionalism).

• Connect: Join or create local resilience networks (food co-ops, skill-sharing groups).

• Opt out: Reduce dependence on centralized systems (e.g., use community currencies).

• Reflect: Meditate on your role in humanity’s evolutionary leap.

Skepticism is healthy. But this isn’t about doom — it’s about pattern recognition. Throughout history, major societal shifts have been preceded by periods of confusion, distraction, and rapid technological change. Today, we’re seeing a unique convergence: economic, technological, and political systems are all being reimagined at once. If you read between the lines, you’ll see the groundwork for a new global order being laid right now. What makes this time different is that a new emerging form of consciousness and thinking makes a different outcome not only a possibility, but highly likely.

The most important changes rarely make the front page until they’re already set in motion. By the time headlines catch up, the window for meaningful choice may have closed. That’s why developing the skill to spot patterns and ask deeper questions is more important than ever.

The risk isn’t just missing out on trends — it’s being swept along by decisions made for you, not by you. The coming years will present a choice: accept new systems and controls by default, or step back, connect the dots, and decide for yourself what kind of future you want to help create.
