I am in the midst of writing a book on Informal Learning that’s taking me on a trip through humanistic psychology, network effects, culture shocks, complexity theory, and a bunch of other whistle-stops on the pathways through our deeply interconnected world. Sometimes I go into a state close to automatic-writing mode and learn from what pours out.
A few minutes ago, pondering humanity’s journey along the path of evolution, my fingers tapped out:”This goes back to Adam & Eve, to the dawn of consciousness. Since our species appeared as babes on the savannah, we have been growing up, ever so slowly. Homo sapiens have been reading What Color is Your Parachute: Eternal Edition, and doing their information interviews for the last 50,000 years. Now it’s time for humanity to take the next step on the path, commit to a direction for the future, and start to work.”

I believe you are almost on to something and would have been if you had ended your quote with “Now it’s time for humanity to take the next step on the path, commit to a direction for the future, and start to live it” It should not be work, it should be life
