If a truck could lead a movement of critical thinking

"A most remarkable change in our ideals is taking place, one of such rapidity that it seems to promise a greater change still to come.  It will be for the future to decide the aim, the nature and the limits of this revolution, the drawbacks and disadvantages of which prosperity will be able to judge better than we can."  -Jean d'Alembert,
 the french philosopher and scientist made this statement in 1759, in reference to the rapid change of the social, scientific, economic and political systems that was occurring, the shift leading the world into being, "the modern world."  

Today, at this current time, the digital revolution stampedes ahead to parallel the new, the challenging, and the changing times of the late 18th century, the beginning of the modern world.  We will just see a quicker cycle of these histories.  Recycle, Reduce, Reuse! 
 
Now lets just try and learn from history to find the ideologies that we should reduce, in order for the positive benefit of the people, by the people, for the people!
