Summary/Abstract: The coronavirus pandemic has shown how fragile are the grounds of human wellbeing on earth. Steven Pinker can be right stating that humankind has never lived so well than at the turn of the century but no-one can be sure that this trend will not end abruptly. Climate change, migration, increase of global inequalities the belligerent coexistence of civilisations and the unleash of the financial system have resulted the emergence of planetary idiotism. The world has never been more volatile, uncertain, ambiguous and complex than before. Studying and knowing this world is the task to be done by scholars working in research institutes and universities. The winner of the coronavirus pandemic has become the digital sphere where the global marketplaces of the knowledge production and distribution operate. The future of mankind depends on the willingness to return to the primordial values of solidarity that helped the human survival.
