[Fis] THE ROOTS OF MODERN CIVILISATION--Chicken and Egg

[Dr. Plamen L. Simeonov]

This is a brilliant idea, Joseph!
Thank you for reminding us of this text. Yes, of course. But how can we
achieve such a giant change in all human thinking? One might assume that
the Tetralemma is already embodied in someone's DNA which is a rare
mutation. Ted told us about the different thinking patterns of native folks
and this is all true, but these ways of thinking did not penetrate much
into our civilized world of today. Can we expect such an enhancement within
the shortest period of time? Perhaps the only way to do this is genetic
editing as the transhumanists promote. But what is the price of such fast
evolution and do we want this?
I will have another comment on this later.

Best,

Plamen
