Worldview Traps Changes
in worldview bring new discoveries in science, which foster new technologies,
which change the environment, changing the way we inhabit the environment,
altering our culture, augmenting our minds, and changing our worldview.
The process repeats infinitely, but as we can see when we look out the
window, the pace of this cycle seems to be accelerating. Most importantly,
if our worldview fails to shift to one that is more encompassing we
can find ourselves behaving in a manner that is completely inappropriate
for our environment. Global warming is a perfect example of this, and
a perfect example of clashing worldviews. Our use of technology has
so altered the world that we cannot continue to live in it the way we
have for the last century without severe consequences. Only by changing
our perspective, and eventually changing our science, our technology,
and the way we use them, can we escape the crisis.
