NEW! Religion in the Global Age

NEW! Review: God is NOT Great

NEW! Lew Latto dies.

NEW! Gary Johnson has completed his memoir. However, you might want to begin with his personal chronology, and, then, continue on from there.
Accelerating KNOWLEDGE and TECHNOLOGY revolutions are interacting synergistically, often with surprising consequences, and transforming the contexts in which human beings will conduct their affairs from now on.

Most widespread popular beliefs about nature, including human nature, as well as the past, are products of "social construction," and don't consistently reflect current verifiable knowledge.

Economic, political, religious, intellectual, and social institutions throughout the world have been left hopelessly behind. Many have their roots in a time not long ago when even the smartest, best informed people on Earth didn't know that the blood circulates or what the heart is for.

Some things in the world haven't changed much in a thousand years. Others will be different within weeks. But, geography has become largely irrelevant.

In effect, with the collapse of both space and time, peoples and ideas mostly isolated from one another by thousands of miles or thousands of years now come into daily collision.

Moreover, ancient ideas not only collide regularly with each other now, mostly because of the technology revolution, but all are threatened by knowledge which was not available even to our most recent ancestors.
