"Thus, man accelerated extended communication to unexpected distances and with unexpected speed. Next he accelerated his personal conveyance, accelerating the evolution of his own extension from, for instance, the echoed voice of a poling raftsman to the forwardly informative radar manipulations of the stratojet piloting airman.
“In order to apply the same degrees of skillfully interpolated advantage of knowledge in principle: of position, direction, and relative acceleration, to man’s immediate, everyday, and far less ‘exciting’ environment-shaping, he must be able to write the cogent formula of comprehensive functions of the coordinate system of his own physical complex-- of his life (personal, family, and species) as reciprocally embraced by the complex of dynamic Universe. This requires in essence: (a) the comprehensive-intuitive, that is, total subjective-”
