We Have All Been Brought Up With An Ethical System Of 2,000 Years Ago, An Industrial-managerial System Of 200-300 Years Ago, A Statecraft System Of 200 Years Ago, And So On. None Of This Is Working Very Well For The Requirements Of A Time As Complex And Variegated As Our Own. So We Stand Shuttering At The Threshold, With No Clear Map.

If You Travel As Much As I Do - 165,000 Miles Last Year - You Exist Nowhere. You're Always Between Heaven And Earth, You're Always Arriving In A New Place, You're Always Starting From The Beginning - Talk About Origins - And You Don't Know Quite What's Going To Unfold.

We Are Still A Pioneer Culture In Some Ways. A Pioneer Culture Has To Put All Of Its Muscle Into Surviving On The Frontier And Pushing Back The Wilderness. So When You Start To Talk About Imagination, Inner Space, And The Structures Of The Psyche, That Becomes Scary.
