The Best Of Humanity

Sources of energy and wealth lay in the Earth until human labor by hand and brain released them. Similarly, humanity itself is full of as yet unrealized potentials. Jack Havig's time travel group of a few thousand members includes, among many others:

a Confucian teacher;
a bommerang-wielding kangaroo hunter;
a Polish schoolboy;
a medieval Mesopotanian peasant;
a West African ironsmith;
a Mexican vaquero;
an Eskimo girl.
-Poul Anderson, There Will Be Time (New York, 1973), XIV, p. 156.

"...that kaleidoscope...," (ibid.) recruited and organized as described in recent posts, goes so far beyond Wallis' white supremacist hierarchy that it becomes a qualitatively new level of organization and consciousness.

In thirty-first-century North America:

there is atomic-powered, robot-crewed commerce;
a wayside household can easily feed and accomodate pilgrims;
a family chants and meditates for an hour in the morning;
the father cultivates vegetables for psychological, not economic, reasons;
the mother works on a paramathematical theorem;
the children learn from an electronic educational network that might involve artificial telepathy (as in one of the Maurai stories?).
-XIII, pp. 145-146.

The Star Masters' subtle, pervasive influence will bring about a new civilization - or post-civilization - that Havig cannot fathom. (ibid.)

The best of humanity and beyond.
