What I'm suggesting to you is that this could be a renaissance. We may be on the cusp of a future which could provide a tremendous leap forward for humanity.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We are going to see a burst of creativity that will make the Renaissance pale in comparison.
Maybe it's time to go back 2,000 years for a spiritual renaissance. If not, our days may be numbered and a terrible implosion is coming. There is no more middle ground. It is one or the other.
We live in a world which is changing very fast. What seems contemporary now will be historical in two years.
What we need in America is a renaissance. We need to go forward by going backward.
People never know what's going on while it's happening. You think, during the Renaissance, people called it 'The Renaissance'?
Humanity is still advancing; and it will probably continue to advance for hundreds of thousands of years more, always on condition that we know how to keep the same line of advance as our ancestors towards ever greater consciousness and complexity.
Since the Renaissance, a concept called 'progress' has been baked into our society. Progress - founded on an accumulation of knowledge through experience (and in the case of science, through experiment). To build on the past rather than endlessly relive it. That's what separates us from the beasts.
This world is clearly emerging before our eyes. The shifts ahead, the opportunities ahead are massive.
We are living in one of those rare moments in history when things may come apart and be put back together again in ways that will determine the future for decades or more, despite the endless innovations of technology.
The only hope is that our civilization will collapse at a certain point, as always happens in history. Then, out of barbarity, a renaissance.
