knowledge evolves and endures throughout the life of a race rather than that of an individual.
This reminds me of Aaron Swartz. I feel like this sentence pretty much describes his life mission. The sharing and passing down of knowledge and information is all we have to offer for the future!

The world has arrived at an age of cheap complex devices of great reliability; and something is bound to come of it.
This is a great point, and it's very though-provoking. What is bound to come of it? It's interesting too that even though science keeps evolving, the cost of living keeps rising. I'd be interested in discussing the relationship between scientific evolution and inflation.
