The world is changing for the purpose of progress. It is important for a person, a people or a nation to know the direction and the desirability of the change. A comparison of different cultures and knowledge advancements around the world and cultures throughout history provides some guideline for the change. From the perspective of the knowledge advancement of the historical past and the post-scientific vision of knowledge of the expected future, the concept of culture can serve as an overall measure of the quality of a person, a people or a nation. One’s beliefs can provide indications to one’s cultural level. The knowledge vision of post-science fuzzy logic extends 4,000 years into the future and can serve as a guide to the cultural development of the future. 2,000 years ago, morality culminated in religion, which dominated human culture in the West for over a millennium and was taken over by science in the past 500 years. Rigorous training in mathematics is needed in the next 500 years for social science, which involves the infinite future and is, therefore, not subject to empirical verification, for the infinite future will never arrive. The acceptance of solutions in social science depends on complete mathematical rigor. Rigorous training in logic is needed in the next 1,000 years for the unlimited complexity in life science, which deals with the creation of permanent entities, such as DNA, and whose solutions are accepted based on complete logic. The Age of Robotics will occupy the next 1,000 years, when robots will be intelligent machines with the capability of interact safely with uncontrolled environments. The Age of Self-Creation from 4,000 AD to 5,000 AD will reveal from the design specification of mankind’s self-creation the meaning of life and the purpose of existence. Post-Science Fuzzy Logic will occupy from 5,000 AD to 6,000 AD and will sacrifice precision in the process of expanding the range of tolerance of a creation in order for the creation to survive and flourish for all the possibilities of an uncertain future. The total of 6,000 years of recorded history to 6,000 AD will enable mankind to establish a new religion based on knowledge, replacing the supernatural beliefs of the current religion. In 4,000 years, a new Religion of Knowledge will completely replace current traditional Religion of Faith, but as soon as the Religion of Knowledge is established, leading thinkers of society will start to criticize it, as the Religion of Faith is criticized by the current not-yet-mature Religion of Science. Post-science speculates that human knowledge in the Religion of Knowledge might be replaced, say, by alien technology, when aliens find human cultural level high enough to communicate. Post-science also includes practical innovations on Intergalactic Communication based on the newly invented I Ching Numeral and completely automated Universal Permanent Software. Post-science is knowledge beyond science, one of the immediate goals of Culture Level Quotient is to restore philosophy back to its rightful place, on the center stage of knowledge, which is now occupied by science, which lacks the consideration of value and the understanding of the permanent nature of the living system.

Eco-cosmologies of indigenous communities which regard the world of humans and the world of nature as closely related to each other, and rites and rituals based on such belief systems are important for the conservation of nature. The objective of this paper is to examine how the culture, particularly the cosmologies and religious beliefs of a indigenous tribal group-the Karbis living near Kaziranga National Park, Assam, India have insinuations for the conservation of natural resources. Based on fieldwork conducted in two Karbi villages, one still adhering to the traditional religion with a deep seated reverence for nature and all life forms, and the other which has converted to a new religion, the paper throws light on the changes and challenges to the indigenous ecological ethos in the present context.

Proposals for change in the present international order, particularly in the context of the increasing desire for self-reliance and fulfillment of needs in Third World communities, require creative thought about the role of people in the future global order. Perception of the world as a system of nation-states and traditional nonparticipation of the public in foreign-policy making by national governments inhibits the creation of a future in which people can fulfill their needs in self-reliant communities. Evidence suggests that lack of confidence in their national governments is inhibiting people in industrialized countries from responding to the needs of Third World people. At the same time, it is doubtful that Third World governments can satisfy the needs of people without wider participation of the people in governmental foreign-policy making. The future needs of people in both Third World and industrialized communities will only be served by the creation of symmetrical and responsive relationships between local communities in all parts of the world.

From the point of view of the new science of globalism, the problems of the ecological, socio-economic state of the world and countries are considered through the prism of the interaction of the human psyche and society and the inhabited world. The criteria of ecological civilization of countries and peoples are justified. Optimizing the consumption of natural bio-and energy resources is becoming a fundamental environmental factor for sustainable development. The "Law of the maximum for humanity" as the law of the biosphere can be the arbitration court, the neutral force that will explain the historical need for mutual understanding, taking into account the interests of ecology and economy for the survival of man as a biovid on Earth; a new reality will begin to form — the phenomenon of co-residence of the world society with the biosphere. The world's population, its energy and bio-consumption, as well as all living matter on the planet, must correspond to the biological capacity of the Earth and not go beyond its boundaries. The task of the society is to implement a worldview breakthrough at the current stage of development, its own cultural mutation, which in the future will create the basis for adaptive technological and socio-cultural development. The task is to classify the entire Earth as a "Green Book" and to solve systemic environmental problems of a global nature. An integral part of sustainable development should be the principle of "vital consumption" at both the personal and social level, instead of the dominant principle of"expanded production and consumption". The indicator of the" culture of consumption "of natural resources, both at the individual level and at the level of society, should be included as an integral part of the integral indicator in the "True Indicator of Progress" and the "Human Development Index". The book is interdisciplinary in nature; it is a kind of scientific and philosophical poetic essay intended for teachers and students of universities in the field of sociology, ecology, biology and related fields, as well as for everyone who cares about the future of society.

The Future of Fisheries. The much-ballyhooed imminent collapse of the world’s fish stocks is simply not borne out by the available data. In much of the world, fish stocks are increasing. We foresee continued fish production wherever there is effective fisheries management, but an uncertain future where there is none, and it is there that establishing effective fisheries management is the most pressing issue. Individual countries and their management agencies will increasingly be challenged to decide between economic efficiency and maintaining traditional fishing communities and practices. As long as the management systems stay in place and the marine ecosystems remain productive, the fish they produce can be sustainably harvested and contribute to food security.

The Many

This article takes a processualist position to identify the current forces conducive to rapid change in the social sciences, of which the most important is the divergence between their empirical and normative dimensions. It argues that this gap between the many and various empirical ontologies we typically use and the much more restricted normative ontology on which we base our moral judgments is problematic. In fact, the majority of social science depends on a “normative contractarianism.” While this ontology is the most widely used basis for normative judgments in the social sciences, it is not really effective when it comes to capturing the normative problems raised by the particularity and historicity of the social process, nor the astonishing diversity of values in the world. The article closes with a call to establish a truly processual foundation for our analysis of the social world, which must move away from contractualism and imagine new ways of founding the human normative project.

This chapter calls for a renewal of social democracy in the United States, in line with the successes of other more Wilsonian states around the world. The author chronicles the creation and development of the nation-state to explain its importance in governance, as well as some of the ways American governance is failing to live up to the promises of its history and potential. The chapter proposes that government is not the problem but can instead be part of the solution. Relating this idea to the Trump administration, the author concludes by arguing that reassessing the state’s role and purpose in society can promote American democracy, prosperity, and security.

The development of China as the world's manufacturing house is best exemplified in the industry of diamond superabrasives. Diamond is indispensable in the creation of industrial infrastructure, including the construction of roads and building of houses. The diamond market was previously dominated by countries outside China. However, a "great leap forward" has taken in China with rapid expansion in Chinese diamond-making capabilities from the enlargement of the equipment (cubic presses) and improvements in diamond yield and product quality in the end of last century. In the new millennium, China outpaced the rest world combined in the total diamond output, became the largest producer in the world indubitably. This paper presents the progress in recent years based on the statitics, and also an outlook of the future development of the Chinese superabrasives industry based on the Chinese macroeconomics and the recent data of the end-users as well as their future development trend.

The Village

The article is devoted to the fight against historical myth-making. The reason for writing the material is the «world discovery» — the time when the Ashevan yurts appeared in the taiga Irtysh region. This became known to «all knowing Wikipedia», indicating the year 1226. A «more modest» date (1296) was mentioned in August 2020 in the Muslim-info newspaper published in Tyumen. The purpose of this article is to refute these historical myths on the basis of scientific and historical facts of the history of Muslims of the Ust-Ishim district of the Omsk region. The author comes to the conclusion that the legend of the birth of the Ashevan yurts in 1226 bears little resemblance to the true «biography» of the village. The described case testifies that in the future, the creation of scientifically grounded «Histories of Siberian villages» is an urgent task for scientists and local historians
