• A completely flawed economic compass leads us to unsustainable growth in consumption, pollution flows, and depletion of the planet's strategic resources, fresh water, and living species.
• The genomics, biotechnology, neuroscience, and life science revolutions are fundamentally transforming the fields of medicine, agriculture, and molecular science—putting control of evolution in human hands.
• A fundamental disruption in the relationship between humans and Earth's ecosystems has occurred, along with the beginning of a revolutionary transformation of energy, agriculture, transportation, and construction systems around the world.
