A New Renaissance and the Second Age of Enlightenment

Chapter 4

Chapter 4 will introduce the paradox of vulnerability and trust as it relates to governing, and will explain how our trust in the democratic process was violated. What that means is that we are now reluctant to expose any vulnerability. Our guard is now up, and we have little or no trust in authority. To get us through this paradox we will rely upon the theories advanced in the 1970’s by Frederick Thayer. In this chapter, a new theory of organization will be introduced that will be web-based on a virtual-reality platform where there will be no hierarchy, but will instead focus on strategic management groups that rely upon collective thought in order to determine policy, and thereby the direction of the new governing narrative.
