Thanks Marc, Yours is one of the more innovative theses, which makes it riskier. I see a possible trilemma. My question depends on which of the three horns applies to your thesis. The first two assume that we already know where to steer, and how:
1. Let's just do it. Already the thinkers have the knowledge and the movers and shakers the power, so let's get going and steer the future. Why bother launching a Worldwide Futurocentric Education Initiative (WFEI)?
2. No, we cannot just do it. We've the knowledge but not the power. We're blocked by political opponents which requires us to "start by influencing the minds of the most people possible" (p. 3). For this, we will launch WFEI.
Then what prevents those same political opponents from blocking WFEI?
3. Actually, we haven't the knowledge. So we'll launch WFEI and get more people to think about the steering problem in their spare time.
Given that our brightest minds, experts and professionals are lost on the question of where best to steer, or how best to steer, then how could ordinary folks (the rest of us) clear up the confusion?
