Abstract

This research explores the "Anthropological Event Horizon" of the 21st century, introducing the concept of "Wandering Tension"—a state where socio-political stability is no longer the norm. The author analyzes the transition from Homo sapiens to "Homo visionarius," where human value shifts toward holistic meaning-making as analytical logic is increasingly delegated to AI. Grounded in 30 years of field research and extreme anthropological experiments (such as the Columbus Quest trans-Atlantic crossing), the work maps the cognitive history of humanity and its current systemic limits. It addresses the collapse of the Protestant work ethic and proposes a vision for human resilience in a post-stability world.
