Men kan midden in een ontwikkeling staan en haar onontkoombaarheid niet willen zien. Men kan z'n hersens achterste voren draaien en droomen droomen die passen in een voorbije tijd. De ontwikkeling van wetenschap en techniek gaat nochthans onverbiddelijk krachtens hun weezen voort. Ge kunt de mensch niet dwingen op te houden te denken. Iedere uitvinding is de inzet van nieuwe uitvindigen, nieuwe technische mogelijkheden. Iedere uitvinding is een scheppingsdaad. Deze schepping op de wijze van de mens noem ik de metakosmische ontwikkeling. Met kleineerende termen en pasklaar gesneden voorbeelden kan men deze metakosmische ontwikkeling werkelijk niet tegenhouden."
