At Last, The Future!. Syd Hickman
delivered by their efforts.
I will begin by outlining the major challenges that have arisen to undermine the capitalist paradigm. Then I follow with portraits of key social paradigms through history. These will serve to illustrate the way paradigms develop and the widely divergent paths humans have taken through history in their quest for better societies. I will explain how capitalism, born in Europe, came to dominate the planet. And then I will offer my own portrait of the ‘kosmos’ paradigm as a starting point for a discussion about the shape of the new order.
A range of outcomes –– including deeply negative ones –– from the current set of crises is certainly possible. So there has never been a more critical moment for citizens to take united action to create the future. If the good and thoughtful don’t, we can be certain the bad and stupid people will. The creation of a new global paradigm can only be determined by the actions of individuals. The achievement of the kosmos paradigm requires political action.
