CALL IT CAPE : PRIME PRECIS

CALL it cape. MANY climate scientists call our current epoch the '' Anthropocene '' - the first human-driven climate era. Many technologists call it the '' Information Age '' or now the '' Artificial Intelligence Age.''

Some strategists prefer to call it '' the Return of Geopolitics '' or, as the historian Robert Kagan puts it '' The Jungle Grows Back.''

But none of these labels capture the full fusion taking place between accelerating time change and rapid transformations in technology, biology, cognition, connectivity, material science, geopolitics, and geoeconomics.

They have set off an explosion of all sorts of things combining with all sorts of other things - so much so that everywhere you turn these days binary systems seem to be giving way to polyones.

Artificial Intelligence is hurtling toward '' polymathic artificial general intelligence,'' climate change is cascading into '' poly-crisis,'' geopolitics is evolving into '' polycentric '' and '' polyamorous '' alignments, once binary trade is dispersing into '' polyeconomic '' supply webs, and our societies are diversifying into ever more '' polymorphic '' mosaics.
