My premise is quite simple but of great importance to the survival of our human species. It is about the next phase of human evolution. The premise is that humans can — and really must — continue to evolve so that we can grow into a more enlightened species and create a more peaceful and collaborative civilization. We cannot solve the many challenges facing humanity with the same level of consciousness from which they were created. There is too much conflict and stagnation in our economic, political, and social structures to manifest the changes needed to create a bright and sustainable future for humans on Earth.
