Forgiving Humanity

How the Most Innovative Species Became the Most Dangerous

Beschreibung

"Why has the most innovative of species become so dangerous? The answer, suggests Peter Russell, lies in humanity's accelerating pace of development. He shows how innovation breeds further innovation-a positive feedback loop that leads to exponentially increasing rates of change. But ever-accelerating change also creates stress on the systems involved-personal, social, and planetary. We are heading into a future with technology beyond our dreams, but in a world that is breaking at the seams. This, Russell argues is the inevitable fate of any intelligent, technologically-empowered species"--

He subsequently went to India where he explored meditation and Eastern philosophy, and was one of the first people to introduce personal development programs to corporations in the 1970s.He has been fascinated by the nature of exponential growth since he first came across it in his study of mathematics. In this book he shows how central this growth is to the future of humanity and to the challenges we face, revealing a new story of our place in the cosmos.
