Superbly Luscious Fruits Of a Classical Liberalism Society.

That which was applicable to human needs during the early history of the race can neither meet nor satisfy the demands of this day, this period of newness and consummation. Humanity has emerged from its former state of limitation and preliminary training. Man must now become imbued with new virtues and powers, new moral standards, new capacities.” [73]

Notably and nobly, men and women are the supremely talismanic creatures. Only when burdened by the artificial, narrow-minded, and short-sighted vain imaginings of the ego-driven will our unending progress be impeded. Successfully counteracting ego-driven interpretation and intervention will yield the superbly luscious fruits of a classical liberalism society which can be discerned from reading Principle Ten: “There are no ‘natural’ or desirable limits to human potential for good, and there is no substantive problem that is necessarily unsolvable by present or future human knowledge, effort, and technology. It is a moral imperative for humans to expand their mastery of the universe indefinitely and in such a manner as will reinforce the survival and flourishing of all non-aggressive individuals.” [65]
