Quote by Herbert Read

Progress is measured by the degree of differentiation within a society.

Progress is measured by the degree of differentiation within

Summary

This quote suggests that the progress of a society can be determined by the extent to which it encourages and embraces diversity. When individuals within a society have the freedom to express their unique qualities, ideas, beliefs, and values, it leads to a higher level of differentiation. This differentiation can be seen in various aspects like cultural practices, educational opportunities, and social acceptance. In societies with high differentiation, there is a greater potential for innovation, creativity, and understanding among its members, ultimately contributing to overall progress and development.

You see, you all start with the premise that democracy is so

You see, you all start with the premise that democracy is some good. I don't think it's worth a damn. I think Churchill is right, the only thing to be said for democracy is that there is nothing else that's any better, and therefore he used to say, Tyranny tempered by assassination, but lots of assassination. People say, If the Congress were more representative of the people it would be better. I say the Congress is too damn representative. It's just as stupid as the people are; just as uneducated, just as dumb, just as selfish. You know the Congress is a perfect example, and created to be a perfect example.http://www.trumanlibrary.org/oralhist/acheson.htm
