Prologue

With the dawn of the new year, 2018, we are overjoyed to launch our Free-thinkers blog. In this space, we aim to cover a wide array of themes that constantly impact and alter the present and future of the millennials. This wide array will span the latest trends in science and technology, cultures and civilizations, and geopolitics. The exponential growth of science over the last few decades has ushered in socio-economic development at an electrifying pace, restructuring the face of humanity in a way previous generations would never have imagined. The bewildering speed these advances have progressed at has led to a state of confusion: a state that thinkers refer to as postnormal. The confusion stems from the questions on ethics, the pervasive uncertainty, and the sustainability of growth.
An unbiased, critical assessment of the situation is, therefore, necessary. At Free-thinkers, we hope to critically analyze and assess these developments around us, and to present an unbiased narrative. We hope our assessment will help inform the blog’s readership of the current global trends and shall energize and encourage it to take part in these discussions at a localized level. In other words, the blogspace is aimed at equipping the millennials at making crucial choices and broader impact.

Our Education System Needs a Grand Revival

First it was Greeks and then the Romans. Islamic civilization took their work and passed it onto the West with plenty of additions of their own. Chinese and African civilizations also had their heydays in the past. So, the industrial revolution was as a result of collective efforts of almost the whole humanity until that time. The enablers of the scientific thought and discoveries were the men and women of intellect who had been educated, trained and taught to think differently and creatively. Whichever civilization and society allowed, invested and made a culture of critical thinking and analysis became the front runner in the path of knowledge and discovery. Education was the key. And it will remain so for further growth and development. Now if we look at it in the context of today’s scientific and industrial advancements with all the buzz around Industry 4.0, one can wonder if our education systems are good enough. What is it that we should be learning/teaching a

Is Social Media Destroying Society?

I come from India. Decades ago, the Indian village life and culture was characterized by the simple and meek village folk gathering around a banyan tree, of which every village would proudly boast of, and discuss ‘global’ matters. The matters would encircle the local agriculture, the overall village health, neighbors, families, politics, and the like. These sittings, or ‘panchayats’ as they were called, had a social aspect. One could often see the village folk behaving and acting as a cumulative whole, as a well-knit extended family. The discussions though often lacked the bigger picture: what were the latest trends in science and technology and what was new in geopolitics? Things soon began to change with the younger generations seeking greener pastures and leaking into the adjoining cities. Globalization further punctured the village borders. Younger generation soon found itself at crossroads: one path led to the ancestral lands, memories and culture that shaped and molded it;

Millennials in the Postnormal World

The present epoch is characterized by technological developments happening at a breath-taking pace. Human knowledge doubling, which used to occur every 100 years until the beginning of 20 th century, now happens every 13 months. IBM projects this doubling to happen every 12 hours in near future thanks to the breakneck speed at which big data can be collected, processed and interpreted. The speed of developments that the early- and mid-20 th century generations witnessed – in the ‘normal’ times – appears to be a distant turtle pace to us, the postnormal millennials.  Breakthroughs in information technology have transformed the world into a cyber room. Social media keeps us abreast of all the happenings worldwide. Big data transfer is possible at lightening speeds, opening a plethora of opportunities. It is not impossible anymore for one to become an overnight phenomenon simply by posting a video from one’s mobile phone on social media. The frenzy can transform one into a millio
