As has been abundantly shown, we are on a collision course with certain disaster. It took the Chinese over a hundred years and millions dead for their society to finally be reborn from the chaos, only to now face the same challenges we all must face together in the 21st century. Unless serious changes occur to our current political, economic, and cultural structure, all the signs show we are headed for certain doom. And we cannot hope to change our prospects unless we begin to think about plans for changing the political and socioeconomic arrangements that are putting us on the fast track to hell on earth.
If we are to survive on this planet even for another hundred years, our approach needs to be revolutionary, not apathetic; creative, not dogmatic; scientific, not superstitious; and sustainable, not exploitative. But this will only take place when we learn from world history and formulate effective plans for change.
