Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THRIVING IN THE 21ST CENTURY Humans have a unique capability to both understand their situation in the world and to envision and act to realise their aspirations in the emerging world. And most of us would welcome knowing how we can become ever more skilful at both understanding, and shaping the future of, our emerging world, so that we can thrive in it. The 21st century is very different from the 20th century. Globalisation, the greatest economic prosperity uplifting machine humanity has ever invented, and mass education, are combining to sweep humanity into an emerging interdependent global village. It is creating a global educated middle class that will number 5 billion in 2030. In this emerging world, a world where our future prosperity will be increasingly based on metaphysical wealth, on what we know, 20th century nation-first, competitive, win/lose, mindsets and agendas can no longer work. These now yesteryear mindsets will instead undermine our best endeavours, including making our future ever more climate and pandemic safe. Humanity is now beginning to learn that it now has no option but to adopt planet-first, collaborative, win/win values and mindsets, if it wishes to shape our emerging global village so that it can become liveable for all: ever more prosperous, harmonious, inclusive, sustainable, healthy, and secure. Meeting these challenges successfully will require that humanity innovates for itself a new future knowledge curriculum so that it can economically thrive in a sustainable and humane manner. Peter Ellyard has asked the question: what would be the contents of such a curriculum? In The Future Knowledge Compendium: A Curriculum for Thriving in the 21st Century, he has sought to answer this question.

Download or read book The Greene Book of Black Knowledge written by Will EL M. STJ Heron and published by Web of Truth. This book was released on 2022-05-04 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What stake do we as Foundational Black Americans really have to claim in the history of this country, this continent, and the world, if any? When you think of Foundational Black Americans (formerly misnomered as African Americans/Negroes/Coloreds/Black) what thought comes to mind and what accomplishments are we known for? Were we slaves brought to this country by force, low-class citizens of a foreign nation with no home to call their own? Or is there more to the story, so much more that even the mere mention of our accolades would discredit the history of the masses? What if I were to tell you that our history in this country, from the perspective that everything we have been taught, is but a half truth? Who built the buildings, roads, and monuments in this country? Where did those people come from and where did they go? Where did the many science, technology and artforms of the country and the world develop? What is the hidden history behind what we are taught, but most importantly why is this knowledge kept from us? This book will capture some of the lesser known accomplishments and esoteric information that has been passed down “word of mouth” by some and systematically discredited by others. Fortunately, true knowledge can neither cease nor desist and this text will show what you can do to utilize that information today. It is time that we take our own history by the rungs away from those who would paint an inaccurate picture of our past. This will allow us to re-introduce ourselves, not for exposure and clout, but for self-vindication and reasonable doubt.

Download or read book The Knowledge written by Lewis Dartnell and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-03-10 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How would you go about rebuilding a technological society from scratch? If our technological society collapsed tomorrow what would be the one book you would want to press into the hands of the postapocalyptic survivors? What crucial knowledge would they need to survive in the immediate aftermath and to rebuild civilization as quickly as possible? Human knowledge is collective, distributed across the population. It has built on itself for centuries, becoming vast and increasingly specialized. Most of us are ignorant about the fundamental principles of the civilization that supports us, happily utilizing the latest—or even the most basic—technology without having the slightest idea of why it works or how it came to be. If you had to go back to absolute basics, like some sort of postcataclysmic Robinson Crusoe, would you know how to re-create an internal combustion engine, put together a microscope, get metals out of rock, or even how to produce food for yourself? Lewis Dartnell proposes that the key to preserving civilization in an apocalyptic scenario is to provide a quickstart guide, adapted to cataclysmic circumstances. The Knowledge describes many of the modern technologies we employ, but first it explains the fundamentals upon which they are built. Every piece of technology rests on an enormous support network of other technologies, all interlinked and mutually dependent. You can’t hope to build a radio, for example, without understanding how to acquire the raw materials it requires, as well as generate the electricity needed to run it. But Dartnell doesn’t just provide specific information for starting over; he also reveals the greatest invention of them all—the phenomenal knowledge-generating machine that is the scientific method itself. The Knowledge is a brilliantly original guide to the fundamentals of science and how it built our modern world.
