Abstract

We tend to anthropomorphize, that is, to view and interpret the world on a human scale. This is natural since one’s path of life is their most direct experience and most obvious reference since ancient times. The life cycles of past civilizations (genesis, growth, golden age, decline) were also easier to consider analogous to human life (birth, youth, adulthood, old age), as we can read in former scientific works. Peculiarly, human dynamics are – approximately – aligned with a decadal pattern, which is why we attach a certain importance to “big 0” birthdays. And these occasions provide an opportunity to look back at the achievements of the decade we have left behind, which may help to determine the challenges of the decade ahead.
