Tribal communities have migrated to new frontiers for millions of years, until they arrived at all corners of the planet and just could not move further.
Meanwhile, the spirit of pioneering made humans move to new frontiers in social organization and technological innovation as well. That was the first revolution in human pioneering.
In their social organization and technological innovation, however, humans cannot rely on external, physical edges to hold them back anymore. But without such limitations we are heading for structural disaster.
If humans want to survive on this planet, they will have to reorient their pioneering spirit towards learning how to build limitations themselves. But can they build sufficiently strong systems of personal limitation and social restraint in time?
To create this second pioneer revolution is the present-day challenge of humanity. If this revolution will come at all, it is likely to arise bottom-up.
