The last paragraphs of "The Inevitable"

Isaac Asimov once wrote: "It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be."


And, the world as it will be, only will be because it will have made the transition to an inevitable next epoch - as it was the case before that and before that.

For humans, if we survive, none of our knowledge of the past nor of the present and, none of our old or new perceptions will be relevant in terms of the changes inevitably coming to our world. Neither will anything we ever experienced be as frightening or as exciting!

There will be a whole new way of thinking and living together and none of the isms we knew before will have a refrain in this exhilarating future. The best of all is that change will not have been brought about through the intervention of a movement, an organization or a dogma and, therefore, for this new lease on life we will not be indebted to any human agency. We will invent new processes of perceiving things and new ways of living together and novel ways of communicating with each other and with the universe and, we will do so only because Mother Nature will have forced us to do so.
