Society exists for the benefit of its members not the members for the benefit of society.
I believe discrimination still exists in society and we must fight it in every form.
Society exists only as a mental concept in the real world there are only individuals.

We know from science that nothing in the universe exists as an isolated or independent entity.
A powerful attraction exists therefore to the promotion of a study and of duties of all others engrossing the time most completely and which is less benefited than most others by any acquaintance with science.

It's not just the effect of technology on the environment on religion on the economic structure on society on politics etc. It's that everything now exists in technology to the point where technology is the new and comprehensive host of nature of life.
