What is A PARADIGM SHIFT: Think locally, act globally.

Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it....This is the condition of children and barbarians, in which instinct has learned nothing from experience.--George Santayana 1905

The End of History.

[spiritech999]

Man as Artist, Designer, and Builder of mud huts, rural cathedrals, urban sky scrapers, megalopolis, parasitopolis & space station is over-generalized by Manly Hall. Anthropological studies of Primitive Man-Primates offers more.

The structural associations of Fortress, Temple, Cathedral, and Mosque with bending and supporting Tree Trunk Columns culminating in a Dome is not necessarily derived from extant Nature; but, perhaps, from Man's own inner-outer spiritual-material constitution.
