“The principle of co-operation, spontaneous or concerted, is the basis
of society, and the object of society must ever be to find the right
place for its individual members in its great co-operative scheme. There
is, however, a danger of exaggerated specialism; it concentrates the
attention of individuals on small parts of the social machine, and thus
narrows their sense of the social community, and produces an
indifference to the larger interests of humanity. It is lamentable to
find an artisan spending his life making pin-heads, and it is equally
lamentable to find a man with mind employing his mind only in the
solution of equations.”
~ Auguste Comte
