Hollywood is really screwing with our heads and our collective mindset.

King Solomon’s wisdom has never been more important: “Without a vision the people will perish” – Proverbs 29:18

If we want a positive future for humanity – for ourselves and our kids – then we need a vision of tomorrow that is hopeful, compelling, and abundant.

Here are four ways we can drive this transformation:

1. Create an XPRIZE for Optimistic Media: Launch a multi-million-dollar competition for filmmakers, writers, and creators who develop compelling, scientifically-grounded visions of an abundant future. Not rose-colored fantasy, but data-driven optimism that acknowledges challenges while showing paths to overcome them.

2. Build a “Media Abundance Index”: What gets measured gets managed. Let’s create a dashboard tracking the ratio of dystopian-to-optimistic content across platforms. Make studios compete for higher scores on the “Abundance Index,” similar to how they now tout diversity metrics.

3. Invest in Exponential Storytelling: Those who want to steer towards a hopeful, compelling, and abundant future for humanity should back productions that showcase how exponential technologies solve humanity’s grand challenges.

4. Leverage AI for Narrative Transformation: Today’s AI systems can analyze story structures and help writers craft compelling narratives around hope, innovation, and human potential. Let’s use these tools to create the next generation of world-building.
