Now is a critical time for our culture: will we embrace continued progress, pursue opportunities to flourish, and proactively tackle the challenges we face? The floodgates of technological change have opened. We can try to fight the flood, forcefully and painfully; we can let the waters run wild wherever they may; or we can try to channel their path consciously and deliberately towards human flourishing.

As individuals and organizations, it is ours to choose.
