We must preserve the dignity of modernity even while we attempt to overcome the disaster of modernity.

Evolution goes beyond what went before, but because it must embrace what went before, then its very nature is to transcend and include and thus it has an inherent directionality, a secret impulse, toward increasing depth, increasing intrinsic value, increasing consciousness. In order for evolution to move at all, it must move in those directions—there’s no place else for it to go!

Each stage of development, remember, has a dialectic of progress--in plain language, every new development is good news, bad news.
