Indeed, to some extent it has always been necessary and proper for man, in his thinking, to divide things up, if we tried to
deal with the whole of reality at once, we would be swamped. However when this mode of thought is applied more broadly to
man's notion of himself and the whole world in which he lives, (i.e. in his world-view) then man ceases to regard the
resultant divisions as merely useful or convenient and begins to see and experience himself and this world as actually
constituted of separately existing fragments. What is needed is a relativistic theory, to give up altogether the notion that
the world is constituted of basic objects or building blocks. Rather one has to view the world in terms of universal flux of
events and processes.

If I were required to guess off-hand, and without collusion with higher minds, what is the bottom cause of the amazing
material and intellectual advancement of the last fifty years, I should guess that it was the modern-born and previously
non-existent disposition on the part of men to believe that a new idea can have value.
