I was talking about human knowledge, not human nature.
Specifically, with regard to the middle ages v. today, we know of more sources of authority, as a result of observing and understanding self-regulating systems.
And I think we're at the start of another breakthrough, this one as a result of observing and understanding self-organizing systems.
This has nothing to do with changing human nature and a whole lot to do with becoming more aware of how human and other nature operates.
