Quote of the Day
Teilhard de Chardin’s vision was a hopeful one, of spiritual global mind, of human connection, human knowledge of shared consciousness. It would make us evolve as humans to have a massive, intense compassion and understanding of each other. But at the same time he issued a warning: that there were dark forces that could take all of this, exploit it, take advantage and turn his vision of the noosphere in a completely different direction. He called out racism, nationalism, the rise of totalitarianism, and worried that authoritarians might be able to exploit these connections of the noosphere to manipulate, obstruct and maybe even eliminate individual freedoms. Well…the noosphere isn’t a hundred-year-old vision. It’s here.
