The Law Of Convergence

"A Jesuit philosopher, Frenchman Teilhard de Chardin, foretold before his death in 1955 that “a new law of nature has come into force – that of convergence. The hitherto scattered species, Homo sapiens, is being united by a single nervous system for humanity, a living membrane, a single stupendous thinking machine.”
President Kennedy once proclaimed that “those who would make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolutions inevitable.
Who could have envisioned mass-produced automobiles back in 1850, airplanes back in 1900, or the information age back in 1950? Don’t stop now thinking about tomorrow. We should reignite our creativity engines, toward the next evolution of humanity.
Others will succeed Henry Ford, the Wright brothers and Bill Gates; and they will facilitate the creation of still another frontier.
And we will lead the world toward whatever is the next evolutionary phase in the progress of Homo sapiens," writes Otto Rieke.
It is important for us to live in the moment, but it is equally important for us to envision the long view of the future. It's kind of like driving on the highway. It's important to know what is directly in front of us, but it is also important to keep an eye on what's coming at us from a distance so that we are better able to prepare for what will soon be directly in front of us. The law of convergence tells us that as our numbers grow and we learn to assimiate other cultures into our own, we naturally will become more acceptive of the fact of our human existence. We truly are just one race - the human race.... If we examine the long view of what life might be like in the next one hundred years, it is impossible to believe that we will remain as we are today...How can we not become one world - all living in the United Nations?
