Conscious Revolution Modernity Culture

Decoding History :

The Limits of Modernity and The Revolutionary Future

by PJN

Introduction

The recent era of social antagonism has demonstrated the limitations of collective self-understanding.

The emergence of opposing concepts into cultural conversation has demonstrated the limits of modern conceptual structure of meaning.

The manifest failures of modern culture has demonstrated the limitations of a static culture, which fails to adapt to changing socioeconomic conditions or climate change.

Modernity is an unconscious, self-reinforcing system that resists progress, with attempts met with an opposing, and increasingly authoritarian reaction.

We live in a world become more complex; a world that no longer makes sense; a world of systemic problems, and a world in need of change.

Yet, these symptoms are similar to those which preceded the quantum revolution in the history of science. The precedent suggests a better future is possible.

This is the intention of this thesis; a scientific and revolutionary philosophy: not of static knowledge, but of process, progress and understanding.

A revolution justified by another revolution in science; situating man back in reality, and consciousness as foundation.

It is time for a conscious cultural revolution: to put consciousness not self as foundation for culture; a sustainable, process socioeconomic system; and conscious governance.
