In doing so , we ? re also blowing right past the limits of what we thought was possible . These very experiences are our passports leading us to the new world that ? s emerging before our eyes .

I see a world where our love of cooperation is greater than the fear that drives us apart . And I see the shift in thinking that makes each of these things possible . To get to that shift , however , we must begin by recognizing the
