Blog and podcast on life | humanity | science | and a theology of shared responsibility:
a resolving perspective that embraces and welcomes all faith and nonfaith traditions
For humanity to live and thrive throughout the billions of years the earth will be habitable, all religions must reconcile among themselves and with science, so belief and knowledge become mutually compatible.
Humanity’s new challenge at this critical inflection point: make our civilization function like the human body, as a multicellular organism capable of higher-level thought about common interests — forming human civilization as “the body of Christ” in co-creative partnership with God, where different religions form different organ systems and all humanity takes responsibility for the future of all life
Resolving past | present | future | and irreversibility issues the way multicellular organisms do internally:
past, via the disadvantaged: making life pleasantly livable under society’s worst-case scenarios
present, via progressives: supporting all those who are now alive
future, via conservatives: making good and adequate investments in civilizational capabilities
irreversibility, via all, democratically: avoiding collapse and attaining transformation
Reconciliation, not strife — Reform human civilization with multicellular, not unicellular, ways:
past: dedicated intentionality instead of haphazard random walk
present: multilevel common interests instead of shortsighted selfish preoccupation
future: conscientious, visionary thought instead of unconscious, careless sleepwalking
irreversibility: well-designed transformation instead of historical accidents threatening collapse
Instead of “sleepwalking through history” and letting chaos dictate humanity’s operational paradigm and our planet’s fate, consider civilization like an advanced technology and continually improve its design capabilities.
