Evolution guided by design: A systems perspective

Journal/Book: Syst Res Behav Sci. 1998; 15: Baffins Lane, Chichester, W Sussex PO19 1UD, England. John Wiley & Sons Ltd. 161-172.

Abstract: We are at a critical juncture of societal evolution where unprecedented human fulfillment as well as a loss of direction are equally possible. However, we are not at the mercy of forces beyond our control but have the potential and the opportunity to give direction to our evolution by design and steer it toward a hoped-for future, provided we: (1) develop evolutionary consciousness (2) engage in conscious evolution (3) acquire evolutionary competence by evolutionary learning (4) create evolutionary images of our future, and (5) bring those images to life by design.
