Apocalypse watch summary
What visions do I have explicated here in this blog so far?
1) technological advance: cheap energy (cold fusion)
2) Prominent ideas must change (just as slavery is despicable today, whereas it was accepted in times past): a) transparency in governance should be a political value as much as freedom of speech is. b) love is reasonable and the converse hate/unlove is unreasonable.
We can ask ourselves: Are we asking the right questions? How could we end global poverty? Do Americans work too hard with too long hours?
3) financial advance: digital money and/or magic formula
4) experimental governance. This will be the subject of a future blog
5) social advance: critical mass for social change (esp education)
6) education change: high standards kept high : family help : There are a million answers to the disastrous conundrum that is education. There need be a value shift where educators are valued as lawyers and doctors are today. I guess it worked before when parenting was different. Perhaps we are in a long transition between parents parenting and professionals parenting.
