The age we live in is a busy age; in which knowledge is rapidly advancing towards perfection.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Confusion of goals and perfection of means seems, in my opinion, to characterize our age.
Today more than ever we need creative minds to address the issues of the age. And one of the most urgent is this: How can humanity know so much, achieve so much, and still fail so many people so badly?
Living in an age of advertisement, we are perpetually disillusioned. The perfect life is spread before us every day, but it changes and withers at a touch.
We can spend our whole lives underachieving.
Life is about growth. People are not perfect when they're 21 years old.
Ageing is inevitable, and the idea that we can be eternally youthful is the pitfall of our society.
Our working hypothesis is that the status of knowledge is altered as societies enter what is known as the postindustrial age and cultures enter what is known as the postmodern age.
The ideas of an age are most abundant where they are not crowded by original ideas.
Our age is before all things a practical one. It demands of us all clear and tangible results of our work.
At its best our age is an age of searchers and discoverers, and at its worst, an age that has domesticated despair and learned to live with it happily.
