I think that 21 years into this 21st century is enough time to try to read the tea leaves of Life.

And I'm not going to talk about what we all already know about the barbarities, wars and genocides, injustices, destruction of our planet, pandemics, and more, that we drag from the last century and even before.

 

What I do notice, and want to share with all of you, is the increasingly acute polarization between the old and the new.

It is very evident, to me at least, that we are being participants and main actors in a key transformation in human development that only occurs from time to time. Human development in each one of us is a continuum. But human development on a global scale is accentuated in different periods of history. And I propose that this is one of them.
