We are witnessing a blast of the technological and societal changes that are accelerating us into a future our imaginations cannot grasp. For 7,000 generations children could look to their parents and grandparents for life lessons in how to confront the chaos. No more. Their yesterday experiences will be of little, if any, help to today’s children in surviving tomorrow’s chaos. Our children have no maps, no talismans, to guide them. Which leaves them with only their instincts to confront the chaos. Those instincts were crafted to enable us to survive in a world that we left millennia ago. That long forgotten world hardwired us to overreact violently when we are frightened. Chaos is frightening. And chaos is about to engulf us. Do we have the innate capacity to survive what is about to happen to us? https://www.amazon.com/Our-Fourth-Age-sapientes-surviving-ebook/dp/B09HP94T1X/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1633783611&sr=8-1
