Reseña del libro "Technology for Social Reform: Activism to Accelerate Human Change (en Inglés)"
Although this essay, or pamphlet, is primarily designed for people who are involved with social change- such as activists, political scientists, or social engineers- the content is of great value to any progressive-leaning reader who is concerned about our current social or political landscape. The concept that quantum advances in the neurosciences can not only cure physical and emotional disease states, but can also free individuals from the biological basis of social oppression is shocking to most engaged protest movements. Even more surprising is that social change processes, augmented by literary, psychotherapeutic, and neuro-technological inventions, can also indirectly lead to a mass non-violent resistance movement to block the self-serving agendas of the corporate and financial elite. The essay reveals the biological basis of oppression, and demonstrates how neuroscience research has begun to view social oppression as an almost universal, socially-induced neurological imbalance- designed to create a docile workforce and submissive public. The grave sociopolitical implications of this restrictive impairment for humanity and the world are examined in detail. An alternate future is delineated- based upon implementing treatment for both the physical and social problems stemming from global oppression. The pamphlet ends with an urgent call to action, suggesting concrete ways to effectively alter the unstable course of current events. You will quickly see that the information in this pamphlet is of the utmost urgency for our collective wellbeing. And you will appreciate the clarity, voice, and transparency of the author- as a very complex sociopolitical crisis is made easy to comprehend, in a manner that inspires hope and excitement. This essay will be distributed to social activist groups at large, thus the overall slant blends the neurosciences with the social and political sciences, but the takeaway message is clearly directed to all persons with a willingness to both recognize the warning signs of ominous trends and to get involved with peaceful action to reverse them.
