The 20th Century was driven by the thoughts and ideas of three visionaries: Charles Darwin, Sigmund Freud and Karl Marx. Each one of them helped us understand more about ourselves, though in entirely different ways. Darwin described how we evolved physically, Freud psychologically and Marx materially. The idea may sound cynical but each one of them contributed to the creation of the biggest holocaust of our times: The Second World-War.
Unfortunately, the War caused another silent casualty: that of abstract ideas, thoughts and philosophy. The War accelerated scientific discoveries to such an extent that post-War, each idea, thought or postulate was put to rigorous scientific tests to prove its veracity. Those, which passed the tests, were quickly incorporated in mainstream science. The unproven ideas or beliefs were quickly relegated to the dustbins. The ideas that remained outside the realm of science were vehemently abhorred and denied recognition.
It's time we brought those abstract ideas and theories back. Because, we are headed towards another emerging trio--three ideas that will shape the 21st Century and the future of mankind:
- How human cells regenerate/reproduce themselves?
- How human DNA replicates itself?
- How human intelligence can demystify/recreate itself?
These ideas will decide which way we are headed and how far we are likely to go till science finally catches up with mankind and takes over.
I have working knowledge about the first two ideas but can provide detailed information regarding the third. But I need to interact and get feedback from like-minded people who are interested in these and similar ideas.
So, please keep in touch and keep me informed that others are as interested in these ideas as I am. Keep posting your critical ideas so that I could also improve upon myself.
