Instead of having a vending machine selling all sorts of
healthcare-related items (diapers, baby food and
clothes, birth kits, cell phones, etc.), we could imagine
using community mothers or mentors, or even health
care workers. This way, we could reduce the literacy
gap, while still keeping a “human” contact that might
be reassuring, and having information spread out from
within communities, via people who belong to these
communities

77. Specialization has bred feelings of isolation, futility,
and confusion in individuals. It has also resulted in the
individual's leaving responsibility for thinking and
social action to others. Specialization breeds biases
that ultimately aggregate as international and
ideological discord, which, in turn, leads to war.
