We love visions: major technological leaps, new markets, new possibilities \u2013 from the space economy to longevity. These kinds of \"moonshots\" that regularly make the headlines are fascinating and inspiring \u2013 and they will indeed shape parts of our future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, a sober counterpoint is worth making: as attractive as this future music sounds, as a society and as investors we should first invest in what prevents us from undermining our own foundations. Because without stable ecological and physical conditions, every high-tech story eventually becomes secondary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What good is longevity if the planet is no longer livable?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

1) Moonshots require a functioning \"Planet Operating System\"<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Radical bets on the future assume that we have time, energy, stable infrastructure, and social stability. Yet this is exactly where today\u2019s greatest risks lie: climate, resources, extreme weather, water availability, biodiversity. If this foundation falters, costs, uncertainty, and conflict potential rise \u2013 and with them the risk to everything that lies \"far out\" in the future.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) The \"unspectacular\" innovations are the prerequisite for everything else<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When prioritising today, one quickly ends up with innovations that may be less glamorous but are systemically essential:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
