“…A detailed discussion of this process has been the subject of several articles and need not be rehearsed here. 59 For the purposes of this study, it is quite sufficient simply to reiterate the main points that equilibration leads to the emergence of new and increasingly more powerful levels of organization (more powerful because they contain combinations that did not exist prior to equilibration). New levels of organization offer new possibilities, access to new resources, give rise to radically new constructs-i.e., radical novelties.…”

“…This fact may explain why the search for the source of exclusion has been so difficult and has produced no conclusive results. 67 The only reason why we still practice exclusion is the fact that we do not understand the singular importance of inclusion. The role of inclusion has no equals, certainly not in exclusion.…”

“…The result is that the problem of inclusion and equality remains unresolved and social tensions continue to rise. 73 Yet another major unsolved problem is the declining state of our economy. Many contributors on this subject emphasize the role of scientific and technological advances in leading us out of the current economic malaise.…”

“…The fact is well known and has produced much criticism. 49 The suppression of differences is abundant in our social practice, including science and knowledge production in general. We simply cannot have any knowledge growth as long as exclusionary practices remain dominant.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
