”Problema gravă apare însă atunci când toată societatea e dominată de consumerism, când cetățeanul devine consumator. Nu se mai legitimează cu cartea de identitate, ci se legitimează cu cartea de credit”.

…problemele climatice și de mediu își au
originea chiar în inima democrației- în
comportamentul majorității. Ar părea
nerealist să credem că, în cele câteva
decenii care mai rămân înainte ca
mediul și clima să fie iremediabil
distruse, majoritatea s-ar putea
îndrepta către o cale radical diferită
față de calea consumerismului pe care
a urmat-o până acum.

Brain-related diseases and disorders of the nervous system impose a heavy burden on society. In Europe alone more than 38% of the population are affected, suffering from a considerable loss of quality of life. Moreover, according to the European Brain Council, the annual costs of brain disorders amount to approx. 800 billion €

Artificial intelligence and advanced robotics have the potential to transform the world economy. Changes are being made already, especially in technology that acts like the human brain, learning to complete more varied and complex tasks based on past experience. The implications of this advancing technology in various facets of geopolitics are many, from logistics, labor and manufacturing to agriculture, service and transportation — basically, life in general.

The complexity of individual's thought proce-sses and beliefs has important influences on social psychological phenomena such as attitudes, attributions, emotions, and stereo-types. Moreover, because collective outcomes are the product of individual decisions, cognitive complexity influences a variety of social-political outcomes as well, including judicial decisions and the outcomes of major international crises .

About 250,000 years ago, something quite extra-ordinary happened. Animals with an unprece-dented capacity for thought appeared on the savannahs of Africa. These creatures were conscious and had minds. Eventually, they were smart enough to start questioning the origins of their own intelligence. We are finally close to getting some answers, with a particularly detailed understanding of the brain’s building block – the neuron.

The birth of neuroscience began with Hippocrates some 2500 years ago. While his contemporaries, including Aristotle, believed that the mind resided in the heart, Hippocrates argued that the brain is the seat of thought, sensation, emotion and cognition.
Galen (2th century) believed the human brain had three ventricles, and that each one was responsible for a different mental faculty: imagination, reason and memory.

Given these important impacts of cognitive complexity, and given the accumulating cross-cultural evidence bearing on this construct, it is worth asking: Does cultural background influence cognitive complexity, and if so, how?

It is not enough to teach man a specialty. Through it he may become a kind of useful machine but not a harmoniously developed personality. It is essential that the student acquire an understanding of and a lively feeling for values... Otherwise he-with his specialized knowledge-more closely resembles a well-trained dog than a harmoniously developed person. !

In brief, recent conceptual developments in mind-brain science are seen to bring changes in worldview perspective that revise the ultimate criteria and frame of reference for determining human value priorities and resolving value differerence.

Galileo Galilei made the beauty of the physical world central to his own deep faith…as did Johannes Kepler, Isaac Newton, and James Clerk Maxwell. For all these searchers, finding beauty embodied in the physical world, reflecting God’s glory, was the goal of their search. It inspired their work, and sanctified their curiosity. And with their discoveries, their faith was rewarded.
