We are
educated and we make advancements by the insights gained during our quest for
understanding. In the realm of faith our souls progress and our nature becomes
more divine. In the material realm we become more tuned in to how our
interconnectedness with others can bring prosperity and how we benefit
personally from that prosperity.
It is not
something that we may even have to consciously make decisions about. It
becomes, in a sense, just a realization. This parallels a statement attributed
to the British mathematician and metaphysician Alfred Whitehead, as quoted by
Hayek, “Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations
which we can perform without thinking about them.”[3]
