"The thing that runs the world are these views and values. The rules of the game around the human mind's use of views and values have changed in ways that no one could have possibly predicted 70,000 years ago," he says. "What happens when certain views and values can be scalable globally within a second? What happens then?" He adds: "In all likelihood, we will cause more problems than we solve."

Is it still possible to create a more beautiful future for life on earth, or are we now merely stewards for the dying process of our world? How do we live with the weight of this uncertainty? Soryu Forall responds to these questions during a recent lecture at the Monastic Academy.

Soryu is the founder and head teacher at the Monastic Academy for the Preservation of Life on Earth (MAPLE). You can hear my previously recorded conversation with Soryu by clicking here.
