Carol,
I just want to add a "bridge" caveat.
Yes I agree about much of what you say, however, there will still be a
need for the "execution" of the innovation you describe. Lest we forget
that quantum physics uses the breadth of classical physics in which to
explain reality.
We need to remember that as the leading and "innovating" edges of our
consciousness are enabled, we will still need people to communicate the
"essence" of this innovation, analyze what it takes to make it happen over
large continuums of complex interdevelopmental interactions, and then
execute the "right action" required to bring about the outcomes brought
about by the innovating edge.
There is a place for it all and humility in it all as you so
enthusiastically describe!
