The Uncharted Present: On Softening the Edges of the Self

by Emer Gentway

As the complexity of our society continues to increase, our habitual ways of thinking are rapidly becoming outdated. Yet our biological evolution has failed to equip us with the radical open-mindedness required for adapting to modern-day challenges and opportunities. The Uncharted Present is a lighthearted philosophical musing for curious skeptics that examines the roots of close-mindedness through the lenses of psychology, neuroscience, cybernetics, systems science, and secular mindfulness. Written in simple non-technical language, it invites us to wake up from the trance of cultural memes and life stories to escape the invisible web of our own making.
