The key indicators of when that time has come is when the four central institutional pillars of society, education, politics, economics and religion become ineffective and fail to provide appropriate solutions to society's major challenges. The consensus among lay people and scholars is we are currently in that time. At University of Earth we investigate what a reinvented society looks like.
