Revision as of 14:55, 10 December 2019

The first thing that must be said about the Holotopia prototype is that it radically changes the tone of our engagement with the future – from the still prevailing denial and growing concern or even hopelessness, to optimism, inspired co-creation and appreciation of vast opportunities.

To do that without a solid plan would be worse than doing nothing. Holotopia includes such a plan – and undertakes to realize it in practice.

An emerging insight makes Holotopia plausible – into an analogy between our contemporary condition and the situation at the dawn of the Enlightenment, from which science emerged. Also today a new approach to knowledge is ready to emerge, which will help us engender a re-evolution in awareness, culture and social organization, similar in scale to the re-evolution of our understanding of natural phenomena and to industrialization, which science made possible. We refer to it by a metaphorical name, holoscope.
