Things that are changing at an ever-increasing rate:
– People learning that other people have other opinions

All this is facilitated by more people
On the internet and cell-phone networks

As education accelerates in India and China
And the rest of the world.
We live in an era called the \u201canthropocene<\/em>,\u201d
