“There is a reason that people seem to be especially concerned today about the question of the presumed audience at whom a particular writer is directing her or his writing. At least part of that reason is that, through the process of artificial speciation, humans have been increasingly divided into very different categories of audiences composed of different species of qualified experts and differently educated and uneducated others of many varieties.”

“We need not only to rescue ourselves from the seemingly unrelenting march of a rapidly growing army of scientific disciplines that are threatening to bury us in an abundance of disparate, abstractly disconnected, to us often irrelevant, and therefore meaningless facts. We appear also to need to attempt to rescue the experts from their seemingly unimpeded gravitation into the realm of near-complete detachment. Should we fail in our work to bring them down to earth, we may ourselves fall victim to their increasingly incomprehensible and elaborate calculations and terminological abstractions. We will be left as aliens in a world of our own creation.”
