Do we need another Renaissance?

The simple answer is Yes. During the time of the first Renaissance the age of ignorance and superstition had caused complete chaos in western civilizations. The age of inquiry helped stem that tide and we metamorphosed into something that was positive. The times today are not so obviously dysfunctional but the consequences of our way of life shall be equally destructive. A new Renaissance is badly needed to change our collective focus. But we are cursed with an inertia borne of comfort. The status quo is too enticing. Will things get worse before we are jolted out of complacency and will it be too late? I believe it is never too late, only later.
