Problems of Society
Introduction

Human beings have evolved further than all the other animals on earth, but much of the progress has been steps in the wrong direction and is expediting an early extinction. Despite our best efforts, the downward spiral continues to accelerate a headlong rush into the abyss. To make matters worse, many people are either in a state of denial, or they are actively involved in destroying the world.

Witnessing cautionary alarms and increasing signs that the end is near, we feel helpless and hopeless while the planet careens into oblivion. The time has come. Each person must now decide whether to procrastinate, or join the effort to reverse the trend.

The choice is ours. Will we wallow in the muck at the bottom of the barrel, or rise to the upper echelons of evolutionary excellence? If we choose the latter, we must free ourselves from the muck. That will take a herculean effort, but the alternative is an unimaginable existence in a wicked world of toxic waste and spiritual vacuity. Thus many brave and noble individuals are proactively involved in the search for social sanity.

There is a growing consensus in the academic and professional communities that humanity may be worth saving. Even though we've squandered the planet's resources, corrupted our morals, and jeopardized our descendents' future, we believe that there still might be a chance to redeem ourselves.

Psychologists tell us that we use only 10% of our brain's intellectual capacity. The good news is that we have the potential to be 9 times more intelligent. The bad news is that we are 9 times more ignorant than we should be. This challenge was the plight that prompted the most ambitious research initiative in human history; the quest to develop an effective epistemological strategy that would successfully confront the ever-increasing perilous problems of society.
