Description
Does exclusive evidence lead to optimism or pessimism? It depends on what evidence is excluded. For example, excluding evidence of climate change, authoritarianism, terrorism, and unconstrained technological development leads to optimism, and excluding evidence that pessimism is a self-fulfilling prophecy leads to pessimism.
Inclusive evidence leads to the wisdom theory ... and the wisdom theory leads to the idea that our grandchildren and their grandchildren will live in peace and joy.
Inconclusive hypotheses are common, and confirmed theories are rare. The wisdom theory is conclusively confirmed.
If a novel theory becomes a familiar theory, then it will inspire a better theory, which is why a novel theory must be shared. The wisdom theory is novel.

Person
After stops in all four of Canada's Western provinces, Jim Carey's family settled in Winnipeg in 1967, where he has lived ever since. He graduated from the University of Manitoba in 1980 with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and worked for a small, family-owned custom steel manufacturer for more than three decades, specializing in the field of operational excellence. From there, he worked for the Winnipeg division of a global aerospace parts manufacturer until retiring in 2017 to dedicate time to the ideas that led to the publication of The Wisdom Theory.
