We are infected by our own misunderstandin g of how our own minds work.

This is actually a very important principle that science is learning about large systems like evolution and that futurists are learning about anticipating human society: just because a future scenario is plausible doesn't mean we can get there from here.

Nobody is as smart as everybody.

The way that organizations and organisms anticipate the future is by taking signals from the past, most the time.

The only organization capable of unprejudiced growth, or unguided learning, is a network. All othertopologies limit what can happen

Species go extinct because there are historical contraints built into a given body or a given design.

It has become evident that the primary lesson of the study of evolution is that all evolution is coevolution: every organism is evolving in tandem with the organisms around it.
