CONCLUSION
• The transformation we are in is a change of vision of the world, a change of narrative. Simply because the actual narrative is NOT able to say anything about our common survival. It is a paradigm shift.
• It is thus a shift away from Death, from Patriarchy and from Modernity itself.

INCLUSIVE FUTURE : YES
In this new economy, social inclusion is a plus, because:
It fosters new ideas and creativity (Colgate)

WHEN DREAMS DIVERGE...
• « The divergence of views on science and technology between Americans and Europeans is growing and now coming to the force in a myriad of public policy debates...(Rifkin: European Dream: 320)
EMBEDDED in the US DREAM« Just as Amercians took up the
European Enlightnment dream of material progress, the pursuit of self-interest, and individual autonomy, and ran with it in its most pure form, while European attachment was more tentative, so, too with the Enlightenment notions of science and technology. » Rifkin, p 319.
SCIENCE & TECHNOLGY
« Although Americans, by and large, continue to champion the European Enlightenment vision, putting their unswerving faith in scientific advances, European are beginning to have doubts about the wisdom of uncritical acceptance of old shibboleths. »
