Curioso como este Antropólogo, Cientista e Religioso, Padre Teilhard de Chardin, reflectiu sobre variados assuntos. As suas palavras hoje, como na altura, fazem todo o sentido:

"As things are now going it will not be long before we run full tilt into one another. Something will explode if we persist in trying to squeeze into our old tumble-down huts the material and spiritual forces that are henceforwared on the scale of a world.
A new domain of psychical expansion-that is what we lack. And it is staring us in the face if we would only raise our heads to look at it.
Peace through conquest, work in joy. These are waiting for us beyond the line where empires are setup against other empires, in an interior totalisation of the world upon itself, in the unanimous construction of a spirit of the earth."

Le Phénomène Humain - 1955
