*John Dewey articulated a very similar thought more than a century ago: “A society which is mobile, which is full of channels for the distribution of a change occurring anywhere, must see to it that its members are educated to personal initiative and adaptability. Otherwise, they will be overwhelmed by the changes in which they are caught and whose significance or connections they do not perceive. The result will be a confusion in which a few will appropriate to themselves the results of the blind and externally directed activities of others.” Democracy and Education: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Education (New York: Macmillan, 1916).
