Since the time of the invention of the printing press in 1450 A.D., the human brain has been intensely playing with the calling cards of rationality, what is called reading, writing, and arithmetic. Without using the calling cards of rationality we cannot think of changing the modern scientific culture to more humane culture. In other words, reading, writing and arithmetic are making us smarter day by day. The modern scientific culture we have created for ourselves is giving us the illusion that we are becoming smarter and smarter day-by-day.

The kind of problems that we are creating for ourselves, the results that we see in terms of suicide, homicide, homocide, genocide, fractocide and ecocide makes us wonder if our brains are rewiring for better or for worse.

Having thousands of universities worldwide, and with so much research going on in the fields of science, technology, missiles and bombs make us wonder if we are Homo sapiens are some other species. I think we need to rethink who we are once again. We may not be human beings, but some other species.
