John Dewey: “The problem is now conceived as that of bringing individuals as such under the control of society as a collectivity.”

If the technological age can provide mankind with a firm and general basis of material security, it will be absorbed in a humane age.

We lie, as Emerson said, in the lap of an immense intelligence.

The problem of securing diffused and seminal intelligence can be solved only in the degree in which local communal life becomes a reality.

Competition will continue, but it will be less rivalry for acquisition of material goods, and more an emulation of local groups to enrich direct experience with appreciatively enjoyed intellectual and artistic wealth.
