The spontaneous individual optimization that drives the theories with which I began is important, but it is not enough by itself.

You know my friends, there comes a time when people get tired of being trampled by the iron feet of oppression. There comes a time my friends, when people get tired of being plunged across the abyss of humiliation, where they experience the bleakness of nagging despair. There comes a time when people get tired of being pushed out of the glittering sunlight of life’s July and left standing amid the piercing chill of an alpine November. There comes a time.
~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.
