For a long time, we existed in an ecosystem where we monitored the world in front of us—ready to defend against any threats, whether along our borders, coastlines, or mountains. Our vigilance was directed forward, toward the world that lay ahead.
But times have changed. Today, the world no longer reveals itself only in front of us. Instead, it increasingly emerges from behind—from the echoes and consequences of our past.
This shift means that simply guarding our borders is no longer enough. Most challenges and “attacks” now arise from what has already occurred, from what we might have overlooked or forgotten. The future has become a reflection of the past.
To protect ourselves, we must adapt. It’s time to start watching the rearview mirror—not out of nostalgia, but out of necessity. The world we face today isn’t only in front of us; it is what surfaces from our history, demanding attention, understanding, and reflection.
Acknowledging this reality is the first step in truly safeguarding ourselves in a world shaped as much by yesterday as by tomorrow.
