This analysis is based on an interdisciplinary exploration revealing twenty-first-century contextual pressures that suppress or strengthen the emergence of transformational wisdom. It begins with a portrayal of twenty-first-century trends and issues and how they could evolve in the decades to come. Some phenomena from the exploration are identified as potentially devastating sinkholes into which humanity and even all life on Earth could fall. Other phenomena are depicted as launching pads that could lift us up into the transformational wisdom stratosphere. Still others are described as including opportunities for both entrapment within sinkholes and flights into the stratosphere. Examples of specific topics addressed include severe socioeconomic inequality, the erosion of democracies, climate change, the impact of artificial intelligence, the benefits of cognitive diversity, and the devastation caused by mass mania. Finally, creative and critical thinking strategies conducive to the development of transformational wisdom are scrutinized.

摘要

This analysis is based on an interdisciplinary exploration revealing twenty-first-century contextual pressures that suppress or strengthen the emergence of transformational wisdom. It begins with a portrayal of twenty-first-century trends and issues and how they could evolve in the decades to come. Some phenomena from the exploration are identified as potentially devastating sinkholes into which humanity and even all life on Earth could fall. Other phenomena are depicted as launching pads that could lift us up into the transformational wisdom stratosphere. Still others are described as including opportunities for both entrapment within sinkholes and flights into the stratosphere. Examples of specific topics addressed include severe socioeconomic inequality, the erosion of democracies, climate change, the impact of artificial intelligence, the benefits of cognitive diversity, and the devastation caused by mass mania. Finally, creative and critical thinking strategies conducive to the development of transformational wisdom are scrutinized.
