The Challenge and Opportunity of Digital Technology and Social Media for Western Democracy
The invention of the Gutenberg Press marked a pivotal moment in human history, facilitating not only the spread of religious texts but also the proliferation of diverse forms of information, including the early scientific journals that fueled the scientific revolution. This technological advancement helped disseminate ideas that reshaped governments and enabled public participation in political processes, notably through influential publications like The Federalist Papers during the U.S. Constitution's ratification.
As we navigate the second decade of the digital revolution, we find ourselves at a juncture that may well surpass the influence of the Gutenberg Press. Our challenge is to harness these advancements to enhance citizen dialogue and uphold the promise of democracy.
What Do We Owe the Next Generations?

This effort aims to investigate the moral and societal obligations we bear towards newborn citizens, to ensure their flourishing and equal access to opportunities in a democratic society.
The First 1000 Days of Life Long Flourishing
