During the next ten years the human race is destined to finally discover the facts about its true origins and destiny. As part of this discovery we have to address the overwhelmingly important question of how the phenomena of evil came into the world and into the consciousness of the Earth's human inhabitants. This is a question which should be on the mind of every living man and woman. It has been with us for millennia and it will be with the children of the future if we do not come upon the answer now. We have left the question of evil in the hands of theologians and scientists for too long. This was surely a mistake for, as the casualty statistics clearly testify, the institutions of religion and science have been the worst purveyors of evil that this planet has ever had to endure. After centuries of prevarication and criminality we can no longer afford to look to these edifices to answer the all-important conundrum of evil.

The spectacular but unsettling reality of faster cycles of change,
breakdown of traditional values and institutions, and many other
symptoms of technological innovation-what makes these necessary is the
subject of this thought-provoking book. All the good intentions of
educators, scholars, politicians, and policymakers will fail if they do
not recognize why literacy as a dominant framework of human activity is
no longer adequate. The current dynamics of human activity is without
precedent. It is not the result of technology, but of deeper forces of
change. The answer to the failure of many seemingly eternal
institutions-government, family, education-is not improvement in the
traditional sense, but a fundamentally new perspective. The digital
paradigm underlying the new civilization provides a basis for this
perspective. But it will be misapplied unless understood within the
broader framework of the driving forces behind human activity.
Behaviorism (Behavior Analysis) is a growing field. As more people get comfortable with the idea of a true science of human behavior, we will make strides in predicting and controlling human behavior. In the future, the controllers or nurturers (parents, teachers, coaches, military leaders, politicians, bosses, etc.) will have an evidenced-based science of human behavior to change people in positive ways. Effective checks can also be developed to control the new science of human behavior as B.F. Skinner recommends. This science and knowledge sure beats the haphazard techniques politicians, bosses, etc. use to influence people to do the right behaviors in order to achieve a common goal.
