to our discovery of means of economizing the use of labor,
outrunning the pace at which we can find new uses for labor.

The popular idea, fostered by comic strips and the cheaper formsof science fiction, that intelligent machines must be malevolent
entities hostile to man, is so absurd that it is hardly worth wasting

intelligence, the greater the degree of co-cooperativeness. If thereis ever a war between men and machines, it is easy to guess who
will start it.

the old appeals to racial, sexual and religious chauvinism, to rabidnationalist fervor, are beginning not to work. a new consciousness isdeveloping which sees the earth as a single organism, and recognizes
that an organism at war with itself, is doomed.We are one planet.
