About This Section

Implications for How We Live looks at how evolving worldviews shape the way humanity might grow, how our relationships with one another and the natural world may change, and how our religious, cultural, and social institutions could adapt. It explores what becomes possible when we recognize the wider impact of our choices in an interconnected world.

We Need to Change

It’s Not Just the “Others” Who Need to Change

Most people feel uncomfortable about change, which is why we cling to outmoded beliefs and ways of doing things, even when the “facts” of a matter indicate doing so is a poor choice.

It’s tempting to believe the real problem lies somewhere outside ourselves. Institutions, political opponents, entire generations—someone else must be the one who needs to change. But that reflex to externalize responsibility keeps us stuck. 

Meaningful change begins when we recognize that we are the “they” about whom we speak.

It starts when we question the stories we’ve inherited, the assumptions we’ve stopped examining, and the habits we defend simply because they feel familiar. These small internal shifts aren’t dramatic, but they create the conditions for larger, collective change to take root.

If we want a world that is more adaptive, more compassionate, and more aligned with reality, we have to model those qualities ourselves. Change doesn’t happen “out there.” It starts “in here,” with each of us choosing to change as well.

Reality is Not What It Seems

At first glance, reality seems concrete and unshakable—a world of measurable truths, observable phenomena, and definable structures. Yet modern scientific discoveries now show otherwise.

Sciences Are Converging On a Broader View of Reality

Reality may seem absolute—fixed, tangible, and independent of individual interpretation. Yet sciences across the board are converging on a view that challenges this assumption, revealing a world far more fluid, interconnected, and participatory than the one Western traditions have long imagined.
