The Ends of the World as We Know Them
www.nytimes.com/2005/01/01...iamond.html
Redirected from Greater Democracy:
Changing and Adapting
Jared Diamond's excellent NY-Times op-ed on The Ends of the World as We Know Them reminds us that the world is not a static place. He gives examples of cultures that failed to adapt to change and thus failed, as well as examples of cultures that adapted and persevered in the face of change. Clearly, a culture that wishes to endure must be constantly changing and adapting to new realities beyond its control.
The question Diamond puts squarely to us is simple: will we learn from the past? Which path will we chose, the status quo or adaptation?
