It’s not often that you get to hear what people with such experience and horizons think about the future of both the industry and us as a human community.

I will just summarise a few main ideas and his vision.
This my photo reflects the feeling of the whole past year well very well. It’s gloomy, it’s cold, and we, as a small group, are trying to stick together.
