Leadership Vision 2100
Lifestyle Delivered by Late Leaders
Scene Setting – Kyoto, 2100
A roundtable of memory assembles: Mahatma Gandhi (Simplicity & Ethics), Jane Jacobs (Urban Life & Community), and Albert Schweitzer (Reverence for Life).
They meet to reflect on what a sustainable lifestyle means for humanity in 2100 — and to leave a legacy roadmap for generations.
The Dialogue
Gandhi (Simplicity):
“Lifestyle in 2100 must be rooted in simplicity: fewer wants, higher purpose. The digital age tempts endless consumption — but true freedom comes from voluntary limits.”
Jacobs (Urban Life):
“Cities are the beating heart of humanity. By 2100, thriving lifestyles require walkable, green, community-rich spaces where technology empowers citizens instead of isolating them.”
Schweitzer (Ethics of Life):
“Reverence for life means that every choice — food, energy, work — honors the planet and all beings. Lifestyles of 2100 must embrace care over exploitation.”
Joint Legacy Roadmap 2100
1. Simplicity & Purpose
- Cultivate voluntary simplicity: less material, more meaning.
- Anchor lifestyles in time wealth (freedom from endless work).
- Practice digital mindfulness to prevent enslavement.
2. Community & Cities
- Build local living ecosystems: housing, food, energy, learning nearby.
- Design human-scale cities: walkable, green, citizen-owned.
- Strengthen participatory culture over algorithmic feeds.
3. Reverence & Care
- Ensure plant-based, planet-balanced nutrition as standard.
- Adopt circular energy and product flows.
- Anchor ethics of care, empathy, and stewardship into everyday life.
Closing Legacy Words
Gandhi: “The greatness of a lifestyle is measured not by what it owns, but by what it can live without.”
Jacobs: “Cities are not machines. They are living organisms. Nurture them, and life thrives.”
Schweitzer: “Ethics must expand from human to all life — only then will lifestyle sustain the planet.”
