So instead of knowledge coming together into a great whole, knowledge
has been broken up into tens of thousands of isolated corporations or
specialist groups. It's meant two things. It's meant, first of all,
that society loses all sense of direction, because if everything is
separated into little groups that don't really talk to each otherin an
honest manner, except to negotiate between each another for power,
then there is no possibility to have any kind of directed conversation
about society. The second thing is, of course, that it has been very,
very bad for each of those areas. The fact of the matter is that
sewers run next to autoroutes and hearts lie next to lungs.
