We should be More Social

I am reading John Dewey again, and this is one point he keeps making over and over. And, I am sure, one point that irritates his readers, over and over. And caused his fall from an important person, early in the 20th Century. to someone not so important in our time.

People got tired of his lecturing at them - trying to make them better. They did not want to be better, and in fact, did not want to be at all.
