Evolutionary Change - The New Renaissance with Douglas Grunther

MP3 Download

Here we explore the intersection between quantum science, artificial intelligence, and human consciousness. Grunther states that we’re in the midst of a New Renaissance when the greatest knowledge and wisdom, both ancient and contemporary, is just a few keystrokes away through digital screens that billions around the planet can access. He helps us navigate the potential and cautions of this exchange of ideas and instantaneous flow of information that is in constant virtual movement as it crisscrosses the entire planet. He includes the three stages of emerging shifts in consciousness: Left brain to right brain thinking, Printed word to digital screens, and Age of information to Age of Recognition. All this includes the intelligence of nature.  (hosted by Justine Willis Toms)
