11. Ask the whole world the whole time and you know what’s going on – Bi Puranen

Hear the experienced and highly respected ”global trend guru” Bi Puranen explain some of the social mega-trends that we are seeing today.

On the Pandemic:

”Lockdowns have caused a lot more harm than the virus to low and middle income countries . One estimated result is 15 million unwanted pregnancies.”

”It’s a huge backlash for the fight against poverty. We have lost ten years.”

On Democracy:

”What do we mean by the term? It can be filled with many peculiar things that someone brought up in the West would never consider democratic.”

”We need to learn how to detect the ’submarines’ in popular opinions.”

On migrants:

”We must revise the notion that you never change the mindset you get when you are young. Migrants do.”

On the elderly:

”Where elderly people have a high social position, people also think they have too much influence.”

On defense:

”People aren’t as willing to fight for their nation as before. But they are willing to fight to defend values.”

Puranen is one of the leaders of the World Values Survey and a researcher at the Institute for Future Studies in Stockholm.
