<div id="yiv4810923463">
<div>
<div class="yiv4810923463moz-cite-prefix">Dear Plamen & FISers,</div>
<div class="yiv4810923463moz-cite-prefix"><br clear="none">
</div>
<div class="yiv4810923463moz-cite-prefix">Thanks a lot for the opening text. It
is thoughtful essay that synthesizes so many threads of thought.
The emphasis on the monastic system as the first vertebration of
Europe, giving rise to what later on would be the Western
civilization and the expansion to the globalized world of today,
is totally shared. About the title, the term "roots" is quite
meaningful to promote and articulate the discussion. In this
initial response I will focus on two main aspects.</div>
<div class="yiv4810923463moz-cite-prefix"><br clear="none">
</div>
<div class="yiv4810923463moz-cite-prefix">First, about "roots" themselves. I
continue with this significant metaphor, applying it
generationally. I mean, every generation approaches the
civilization "tree" and makes some adjustment in its branches and
roots. Branches would be more apparent than consequential
(fashions, codes, tastes, etc., think on music e.g.). Roots are
those fundamental underground elements that deeply affect the way
of thinking and the way of life. So, cutting some of them, or
letting them rotting, may represent a risky civilization
experiment. As Plamen has implied in the Intro and the
Conclusions, we are in the middle of one of these dangerous
historical experiments. There is now a widespread criticism and
rejection of the whole values and knowledge that have taken us up
to this epoch. But or Pinker, Rosling and many others it is the
most benevolent and prosperous time for living in our planet.
Personally I do not quite share that optimism, but it looks closer
to social realities, and more rational, than the 'cancel'
radicalism seemingly in vogue.</div>
<div class="yiv4810923463moz-cite-prefix"><br clear="none">
</div>
<div class="yiv4810923463moz-cite-prefix">
<div>And second, about an interrogation. What external or internal
factors have pushed societies in these new 'negative'
directions. Very briefly and echoing McLuhan, I would point to
media, Internet, and social networks. The new generation
(millenials or Z, or whatever they are called) have passed their
adolescence texting and texting hanged on the screens of their
mobiles. It has been a curious new way to access sociality, to
build and develop to what could be called their own independent
"sociotype". The result seemingly is increased anxiety and
intolerance, and diminished rationality. In "The Coddling of the
American Mind" : How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting
Up a Generation for Failure" Lukianoff and Haidt develop in
depth the psycho 'roots' of this strange new culture.</div>
<div>And I conclude, agreeing with the succinct analysis made below
on the troubles in our system of knowledge, for this is a
fundamental root that is getting cut or rotten or whatever --it
is getting massified, bureaucratized, and more uncreative. OK,
but what about the other major roots? If we also consider as
fundamental roots the ecological (&biomedical), the
political-managerial, and the moral-religious (the value
system), what can we say?</div>
<div>Thanking again to Plamen for the inspiring text,</div>
<div>Best wishes to all --Pedro<br clear="none">

with multiple overlapping human-made crises which an
advanced civilization is supposed to anticipate and
prevent -- ecology, epidemics, overpopulation, economy
with disproportional energy and resources consume,
cultural and generational polarization, even questioning
science, moral values and an individual’s identity.
Furthermore, ideologically led old ghost teachings of
division, conflict and confrontation among social groups
and utopic tech visions for remodeling and resetting the
world with unpredictable consequences are contributing to
the overall confusion and wrong choices, thus deepening
the crises even more. Could we look back at the past for
some lessons?</span></div>

many episodes of civilization crises along human history.
Each one of them has left a "recipe" in our collective
memory of how to overcome it. Maybe this time things have
become too complex and multi-faceted, like society
itself. Or maybe an evil intention is lurking behind?
There are so many different aspects at multiple levels in
social life all over the world that have been increasingly
challenged by our tunnel vision on technology oriented
towards more production/profit and less
cleaning/reuse/benevolence, away from a stable equilibrium
(“homeostasis”). They need to be reorganized coherently
and in a commonly agreeable way, not in one imposed by
self-proclaimed authorities who got used to changing long
established definitions and rules of conduct following
their own agenda. This takes time, of course, as it has
always been. What about looking for lessons to learn from
the past, or at least to obtain some orientation in order
to make the right decisions in this difficult time? This
appears to be more reasonable than starting to invent
novel directive-guided solutions from scratch deploying
not yet proven as safe technologies in a trial-and-error
fashion. We have an intriguing proposal for you. Let us
focus on a fascinating period in human history and find
out how the Western world was rebuilt and reintegrated
from the ruins of the Roman Empire.<span class="yiv4810923463gmail-Apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="yiv4810923463gmail-apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>

of people may be credited with the design and realization
of this truly civilization project. During its golden
ages, Rome was defended by more than 200,000 legionaries,
but after its fall in 466 AD they were replaced by other,
more powerful spiritual warriors. They gradually covered
the fragmented (Western) Europe and expanded Christianity
through missionaries in the North by a coherent space of
several thousand Catholic Benedictine monasteries that
peacefully preserved and cultivated education, technology,
economy, medicine, law, art and moral values that
integrated the wisdom of the classical antiquity (Rom and
Greece) and enlightened the local communities through the
Dark Ages. Their success in ameliorating and guiding the
human spirit paved the way for the urban "cloisters"
of universities during the Renaissance Era (XII century
ff.) where the seeds of science found their fruitful
grounds to grow. Thus, several major crises, incl. alien
invasions, the plague, internecine wars and famines were
overcome thanks to this new resilient social scaffold.</span></div>

Empire in Constantinople, although shrunk through the
waves of plague and foreign invasions, survived for almost
1000 years thanks to expanding Christianity and culture to
its new neighbor and rival, but also ally at times in the
North, the Bulgarian Empire. The latter developed the
Cyrillic alphabet during the IX century AD, translated the
holy books/prayers/songs in their language and began
disseminating them to the other Slavic people in today’s
territories of Serbia and Montenegro, Wallachia (Romania),
Ukraine and Russia. When the Bulgarian 3 kingdoms and
Constantinople surrendered in 1396 AD and 1453 AD to the
Ottoman Empire, the conquered people on the Balkan
peninsula continued to exist spiritually through a growing
network of Christian Orthodox monasteries that kept the
local communities together and finally led them to freedom
through the national liberation movements in the XIX
century.</span></div>

what we call cultural Renaissance followed by scientific
and industrial revolutions were an evolutive product of
medieval society and the era of great geographical
discoveries in the New Worlds beyond Europe, North Africa
and Asia. Quite probably, they were only possible thanks
to the first missionary globalization and peaceful goods
exchange along the silk trade route following the pattern
of the Antique World trade across the territories
surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. Spain and Portugal
brought to Europe not only spices and silk, but also
fundamental technologies from Asia (gun powder, magnetic
compass, paper, porcelain), and later on a regular
maritime trade routes from China via Philippines and
Mexico over the Atlantic that were active for more than
250 years before Holland, France and England became
colonial powers dominating the sea trade, yet at the price
of slavery and exploiting the native population. The
further role of science and technology in the task of
changing Western societies was awesome, perhaps with the
infamous Cartesian breach between science and the
humanities, which no doubt has delivered a biased
conception of our rationality limits and led to awful
ideological misunderstandings that are absent in oriental
civilizations.<span class="yiv4810923463gmail-apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>

knowledge, as well as collective intelligence need to be
