It can be expressed as that place where convergence morphs into collectivism.
Each published article – sometimes short, others lengthy – are part of your educational growth, aiding you towards better understanding our ever-changing era, without fear or hype. This doesn’t mean the subject isn’t sensational; often the nature of the topic can be astounding on its own merit.

About Carl Teichrib
Carl Teichrib is a researcher, writer, and lecturer focusing on the paradigm shift sweeping the Western world, including the challenges and opportunities faced by Christians. Over the years he has attended a range of internationally significant events in his quest to understand the forces of transformation, including the Parliament of the World’s Religions, Burning Man, transhumanist conferences, and United Nations and global governance/security forums.
Since the mid-1990s, Carl’s research has been utilized by authors, media hosts and documentary producers, pastors, professors and students, and interested lay people. From 2007 until the end of 2015, he edited a monthly web-based magazine, Forcing Change, documenting and detailing the worldview revolution underway – points of pressure, forces of change.
He teaches a modular course on Secular Trends at Millar College, frequently speaks at conferences, and is the author of Game of Gods: The Temple of Man in the Age of Re-Enchantment.
Carl’s biases are transparent: he embraces an evangelical Christian perspective, is pro-liberty versus politically imposed equality, pro-individualistic versus consensus collectivism, and pro-free market.
