The Wisdom We Need to Design Humane Technology
“The fundamental problem of humanity is that we have palaeolithic emotions, medieval institutions, and God-like technology.” — E. O. Wilson.
More than ever, we need the wisdom to match the power of our God-like technology. Yet, technology is both eroding our ability to make sense of the world, and increasing the complexity of the issues we face. The gap between our sense-making ability and issue complexity is what we call the “wisdom gap.”
How do we develop the wisdom we need to responsibly steward our God-like technology?
