A worldview is so much a part of us that it is invisible to us in our everyday lives. While a worldview is dynamic and grows out of persistent social thought patterns, it grows into an impressive force which in turn dictates the thinking from which it emerged. Thinking is difficult to change because it becomes circular and reinforces itself. This is why Einstein said we can’t fix a problem with the same thinking that created it. It is the primary argument of this book that our current human worldview is dangerously limited and outmoded, and it desperately, very desperately, needs revision. It is a worldview fueled by our arrogance, by our need to be better and have more than our neighbors, by our desperate need to profess expertise about things we know nothing about, and especially, by our boundless fear of new information.
