Meaning, "one-myth," monomyth is a term coined by Joseph Campbell to explain the observation that myths and legends around the world seem to teach the same basic principles using similar characters.
When we study the monomyth concept, we can say today's Sustainable Development concept is just the latest version of this myth. At its core, it is like the Nordic myth of Ragnarok in that it is simply another plan to save and sustain the world from a catastrophic ending.

Blockchain is a digital record-keeping system that stores information in linked blocks, making it secure and nearly impossible to alter. Instead of one central authority controlling the data, it is shared across many computers (called 'nodes'), ensuring transparency and trust. This technology is used for digital money, contracts, and secure transactions without the need for middlemen.
Decentralized Finance (DeFi) is a new way to access financial services—like lending, borrowing, and trading—without relying on banks or traditional institutions. It uses digital agreements (smart contracts) on a secure online ledger (blockchain) to automate transactions, giving users full control of their money. DeFi allows anyone with internet access to participate, offering greater transparency but also higher risks due to market volatility and security concerns.
A digital twin is a virtual replica of a physical object, system, or process that updates in real time using data from sensors, AI, and machine learning. It allows for simulation, monitoring, and optimization of the real-world counterpart.
Digital twins of real-world cities, buildings, automobiles, or even people are created in the metaverse.
Cities can create digital twins for urban planning, traffic management, and energy efficiency.
In healthcare, digital twin patients can be used to simul
Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI, or GAI) is a type of computer program that can create new content, like text, images, music, or videos, based on patterns it has learned. It works by analyzing large amounts of data and then generating realistic and creative outputs, similar to how humans make art or write stories. This technology is used in chatbots, image generation, and even creating realistic voices, but it also raises concerns about misinformation and ethical use.
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to everyday objects—like smart home devices, cars, and appliances—connecting to the internet to collect and share data. These devices can communicate with each other and with people, making life more convenient by automating tasks, such as adjusting your thermostat remotely or tracking your fitness. IoT helps improve efficiency, security, and decision-making in homes, businesses, and cities.
Imagine your body connected to the internet. The Internet of Bodies (IoB) refers to smart devices worn on or implanted in the human body that connect to the internet to collect and share health data. These include fitness trackers, smart pacemakers, and brain implants, helping monitor health, improve medical treatments, and even enhance human abilities. While IoB offers benefits like early disease detection and personalized care, it also raises concerns about data privacy and security.
A smart contract is a self-executing digital agreement with rules written in code that automatically enforces terms without needing a third party. It runs on a blockchain, ensuring security, transparency, and trust.
For example, a bank issues loans using smart contracts that automatically verify borrower credentials and release funds only if all conditions (such as credit score, income verification, and collateral) are met. If fraudulent data like a fake identity or falsified financial records ar

Society 6.66 is a term I coined to represent what I believe to be the inevitable evolution from Society 5.0 as it falls into the absolutist control of megalomaniacs influenced by satanic control.

Society 7 does not need a 'dot' after it like Society 5.0 because it is the perfect kingdom of God.
Web3 is the integration between the real world and the online world. Web3 allows people to use the internet with more control over their data and online activities. This allows users to interact and trade directly with each other in a safer and more private way.
