The World Academy of Art & Science, hosted by Arizona State University, convened leading voices on May 1, 2025 for Global Turbulence: Sources and Solutions—an urgent dialogue exploring the root causes of today’s global instability.
In this powerful panel, Global Turbulence: Root Causes and Deep Drivers, Lawrence Ford, Founder & CEO of Conscious Capital, offers a perspective on our times—not as a breakdown, but as a breakthrough in disguise.
He describes how humanity is entering a “third season”—a collective moment of awakening and redefinition. From the exponential rise of AI and the visible strain on global institutions to the call for a new metric—GD Purpose—Lawrence challenges us to look beyond symptoms and confront the deeper drivers shaping our shared future.
He closes with a call to action: to go starfish hunting—seeking out, empowering, and amplifying those already living their purpose and bringing forth the solutions our world needs.
