Quantum Shift in the Global Brain by Ervin Laszlo. An Advanced Book Analysis

Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Peace and Conflict Studies, Security, grade: A, Atlantic International University, course: SEMINAR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT I, language: English, abstract: What is a quantum shift in the global brain? According to Laszlo, the global brain is the quasi-neural energy- and information- processing network created by six and a half billion humans on the planet, interacting in many ways, private as well as public, and on many levels, local as well as global. He goes on to say that a quantum shift in the global brain is a sudden and fundamental transformation in the relations of a significant segment of the six and a half billion humans to each other and to nature- a macroshift in society. The two shifts together make for a veritable "reality revolution" in society as well as in science. In his book, Laszlo tells us that we are at a pivotal point in evolution, where our generation is in the position to determine the fate of humankind. Nevertheless, we can no longer continue on as we have done until now.
