As for "self limiting" beliefs : in self esteem & success psychology (management classes, google "NLP" and other advanced mental programming techniques), they are known as the excuses we make for ourselves to avoid a given task - most of the time, because we are afraid of not being able to handle it. It's not YOUR beliefs that I despise, nope sir, bad phrasing probably, but : - it's the belief that national identity means something (it doesn't according to Darwin and nature) - it's the belief that conflict will be necessary to overcome challenges - it's the belief that governments can control technology ...Etc. Those beliefs are indeed rooted in history, but they will stop working (and most of our social conditionning is being challenged already, example : how the social condition of women is changing through the past decades). I'd say, and I'll bring more to the topic later on as I have time, that I actually agree with most of your views - they are probable - but the main divergence is here : >> In the future, the need of the individual to be an individual and to "rise out of the crowd" will become more and more important and critical I believe that individuals can exist and shine while enhancing the society around them - and I believe accepting this will be a necessity to survival of the species. :) Had warned you, it will be a long and heated debate.
