The strange place where we find ourselves, the world, is perhaps not as small as our small thoughts about it at this present moment in time. We can be sure that the world will be seen radically different in the future, as our worldview differs from that of the Middle Ages. What is possible today might have been impossible in the past, and what seems impossible in the present might become possible in the future.

It seems we now have two options. We can either choose to try to extend the “comfortable” old paradigm into the future, thereby putting everyone in danger. Or we can take the consequences of our current global situation and prepare to build a sustainable culture. The last option would mean being prepared to expand our view of everything. The world will seem to shake and tremble for a while before it finds its new position beyond the old exploded frame. – From Towards Something, Jørund Aase
