There is optimism at the core of his thinking, despite his reputation as a critic. He cherished communication, language, and the capacity for group reasoning.
He had a strong belief in human intelligence and our ability to adapt once we identify patterns in the world. His true subject was always human judgment, even though he wrote about education, culture, language, and the future.

He thought that the moral and intellectual work needed to determine the kind of society we want to create could never be replaced by technology.
