Summary
The authors of THINKING: Bioengineering of Science and Art were asked how they would see the future of their field 30 years later. This chapter presents the authors’ views on the kind of world, thought force, cosmic dimension of thinking, engineering and systems thinking education, art and design, information theory, philosophy and social sciences education, curricula, musicology, humanities, economic thinking, engineering liveliness, environment and ecosystem, a new paradigm of thinking, and interdisciplinary science and thinking in 2050, along with fears and hopes for the 2050’ human being who is thinking.
THINKING: Bioengineering of Science and Art–Word cloud
“It’s not the problem that causes our suffering; it’s our thinking about the problem”.
