Index Entry
Nation:
“All the customs, all the languages, all laws, all accounting systems, viewpoints, cliches, and axioms are of th old, divided, ignorant days. The corollary of ‘divide and conquer’ is ‘to be divided is to be conquered.’ To be specialized is to be divided. The specialization which humanity perseveres in was invented by yesterday’s armed conqueror illiterates. The separation of humans into more countries made them easy to manage. Nations may unite, as at present, without success. Strife is proliferating. Not until specialization and nations are dispensed with will all humanity have a chance of survival. It is to be all or none.”
