If there is technological advance without social advance, there is, almost automatically, an increase in human misery, in impoverishment.

... social advance depends quite as much upon an increase in moral sensibility as it does upon a sense of duty ...
Jane Addams
Technological advance often thrives in sheltered and subsidized markets, which defy free trade.
Robert Kuttner
Whether the human mind can advance or not, is a question too little discussed, for nothing can be more dangerous than to found our social philosophy on any theory which is debatable but has not been debated.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
Most men and women, by birth or nature, lack the means to advance in wealth and power, but all have the ability to advance in knowledge.
Pythagoras
Ever since the beginning of modern science, the best minds have recognized that "the range of acknowledged ignorance will grow with the advance of science." "In science the more we know, the more extensive the contact with nescience." Unfortunately, the popular effect of this scientific advance has been a belief, seemingly shared by many scientists, that the range of our ignorance is steadily diminishing and that we can therefore aim at more comprehensive and deliberate control of all human activities. It is for this reason that those intoxicated by the advance of knowledge so often become the enemies of freedom … The more men know, the smaller the share of all that knowledge becomes that any one mind can absorb. The more civilized we become, the more relatively ignorant must each individual be of the facts on which the working of his civilization depends.
