Whats on 2025 – by Kairos Future

2025 will be the year of the great U-turn. With a new president in the form of Donald Trump, the great nation in the West is making a fresh start. What this will lead to remains shrouded in uncertainty. But it will have consequences, not just there, but here and everywhere. The tectonic shift we can expect in the U.S. is only part of a larger whole, where forty years of development are being reversed, the pendulum is swinging. The battle over interpretive authority is finally over, and the winner has been crowned. Admittedly, not all struggles are settled, and uncertainty about the future remains monumental—whether in terms of geopolitics, climate, or AI. But an overarching pattern is beginning to emerge. And that pattern is, in modern times, entirely new.

For decades, we in the West have lived with the belief in constant progress, where the focus on survival has been replaced by the pursuit of prosperity, welfare, and abundance—for all. The struggle has been about removing the last obstacles on the path to a paradise where lambs and wolves sleep side by side, and where manna rains down upon us all, even on those who do not manage their talents. In the pursuit of this paradise, politics has increasingly focused on narrower issues, while individual and group interests have often been prioritized over the common good. But that time is now over. Now, it is “back to basics” in all areas—from geopolitics and infrastructure to education and childbirth. The struggle is once again about survival, as a culture and a nation, and those who stand in the way of the new era risk being run over. The end, as we know, justifies the means.

What these driving forces mean, according to Kairos Future, along with our own reflections, will be shared here on our news pages in the coming weeks.
