 A new generation has come of age, shaped by an unprecedented revolution in communication technology. They are the generation of The Philosophy of Freedom (POF), the cohort of young adults who have grown up with personal computers, cell phones and the internet and are now taking their place in the world. Community Values: Communication is the foundation of POF community building rather than submission to leaders. Today’s instant communication technology and social websites has supported their enthusiasm for friends and collaborative working with others. Individual Expression: New media websites facilitate numerous forms of individual creative expression. (book publishing, music and video production etc.) Cultural Diversity: Global internet communication leads to friendships around the world and open-mindedness for other views and culture. Imagination: Time in imaginative play in imaginary worlds (video games and cyber worlds) develops concentration, ethical battles between good and evil, and imagination needed in individual ethics. Mathematics: The technology requires mathematical thinking which is a training in the pure conceptual thinking required for Rudolf Steiner’s path. Spiritual: Their scientific training leads then to reject faith-based religion and speculative metaphysics. Rudolf Steiner’s Philosophy of Freedom is well suited to support their spiritual instincts toward individual freedom based on deepening their foundation in scientific thinking. Interest in Steiner and POF: This generation has shown an interest in Steiner's Philosophy of Freedom principles presented in videos posted on YouTube (50,000 views). |
