There seems little doubt that we reside in historic times. Long ago, the world shifted from a Medieval view of life to the Renaissance. Thereafter it shifted to Modernity with the Industrial Revolution. Nowadays – historians give it different names – we reside in a time of Post-Modernity (or Hyper-Modernity as some would say). But the technological changes of which we’re all aware, the power to have the option to text in real-time someone on the opposite side of the globe, and ideological shifts, concur to generate a special view of life, the universe, and every little thing. We reside in a time of major cultural change. And that generates uneasiness. Alexander Solzhenitsyn said as much in a significant address to Harvard at the top of the 20th century. That pace of change is barely exponentially accelerating today.
