Zeitgeist 2021: The Age of Wisdom
As a society we are at a very important event horizon. We have a unique opportunity to move from the knowledge economy built by information technology to a wisdom economy built by knowledge technology. What this requires is leaping into the unknown, the space where we engage with the other parts of ourselves and society, engage our awareness and empathy, landing in the space of wisdom where real wealth is created.
Whether by force or will, many have made the leap into the unknown and are now on the other side, having left behind the known for the uncharted world of what’s next.
All we need to do is get everybody across the great chasm of the unknown separating us from an inclusive sustainable future for all. ~ Crafting Our Words
