Excerpt from The Level of Social Motion: An Inquiry Into the Future Conditions of Human Society A comparison of ancient and modern thought will show us how thorough has been this reversal in man's ways of thinking. All of the earliest written records of human life disclose the human intellect attempting to map out the entire scheme of universal creation. Wise men seldom make similar efforts now.
