Defining the Story of the 21st Century

​📍 Location: Capital Factory, Astroboy on Floor 1

​Join us for an evening of deep discussion, reflection, and connection as we explore what it means to be a 21st-century individual in an era of rapid change, global challenges, and new opportunities. This event is part of the Austin Enlightenment Society, where thinkers, innovators, and changemakers come together to exchange ideas and grow as individuals and as a community.

​Agenda
🔹 A Journey Through History
We’ll start by taking a step back—how have societies evolved over time? We'll trace major shifts in human history across key areas like technology, governance, economy, and social structures to set the stage for understanding the present.
🔹 Defining the Story of the 21st Century
What will define our era? What challenges and innovations will shape the world we live in? Through group discussions, we’ll share our perspectives on the defining themes of our time and our hopes for what we want to see unfold in our lifetimes.
🔹 The 21st-Century Individual
What skills, knowledge, and character traits are essential to navigate the complexities of the modern world? Together, we’ll explore what it takes to thrive today—whether in personal growth, civic engagement, or technological adaptation. By the end of the session, you’ll start crafting a personal framework for how you want to show up in the world.
