At each increase of knowledge, as well as on the contrivance of every new tool, human labour becomes abridged.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Every job leaves its residue, a bit of extra knowledge, a new skill-set.
Knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes.
New knowledge is the most valuable commodity on earth. The more truth we have to work with, the richer we become.
Our civilization has evolved through the continuous adjustment of society to the stimulus of new knowledge.
Our working hypothesis is that the status of knowledge is altered as societies enter what is known as the postindustrial age and cultures enter what is known as the postmodern age.
The extent of our progress in the cultivation of knowledge is unlimited.
The more the division of labor and the application of machinery extend, the more does competition extend among the workers, the more do their wages shrink together.
The greatest enemy of progress is the illusion of knowledge.
To express the same idea in still another way, I think that human knowledge is essentially active.
All labour is directed towards producing some effect.
