Will, I was wrong about italics interfering with links to titles. Not an issue. Very likely I drew the wrong conclusion when I miscapitalized Wisdom from The Greater Community.
Where "The Greater Community" appears in a title, I'm capitalizing The to conform with the page title for Wisdom from ..., taking this as a stylistic preference from NKL/Society.
This quotation has the force of prophecy--oh, but for the New Message!--but I'm guessing the tone to be polemical, i.e., an observation made by other interested parties: :“The rich indulge themselves endlessly—in their hobbies, their passions and their plays while the rest of the world sinks into despair, poverty and degradation. Surely, this cannot be a world that will survive as a free race in the universe. Surely, this is a race that will not have the collective wisdom to restrain its activities and to prepare for its future. Surely, this will be an easy prize for those who use cunning and guile to achieve their goals.”
