At present nothing is possible except to extend the area of sanity little by little. We cannot act collectively. We can only spread our knowledge outwards from individual to individual, generation after generation.

Summary

This quote conveys that in the current state of affairs, the only thing we can do is incrementally expand the realm of rationality. Acting together as a collective seems unattainable, but we have the power to share knowledge and understanding with others on an individual basis. Through this process, knowledge can extend from one person to another and from one generation to the next. By continuously spreading awareness, we can gradually increase the overall sphere of sanity in society.
