Book excerpt: Excerpt from Evolution and Man's Progress Because OF their special knowledge, scientists and scholars may be in a position to see some of the future consequences and costs of current social practices before they become evident to decision makers, either in large enterprises like governments or small enter prises like families. Few have either the time or the talent to become informed about long-range implications arising from advances in sci ence and technology. And yet in the twentieth century, as compared with previous centuries, the impact of science and technology upon our ways of living and our destiny has become paramount. The mush rooming clouds of new notions and new patterns of behavior are altering the nature and circumstances of human life more within a few years than they were altered over centuries in the past. There is no guarantee that these new circumstances are going to be stable or viable; instead, there is a probability that a civilization, whose decision makers operate in ignorance of where this onrushing current of events is taking us, may unwittingly be headed for disaster.
