in chapter 14

The Sealanders claim to be the New People, of superior intelligence and ability.
They are “think-togethers” who are going to build a new kind of world. They refer
to the Old People as isolated half-humans with no means of consensus.
Consider our own society, and the possibilities of leaders on the world stage
“thinking together”, and if this were to happen in a peaceful and collaborative
way, how could our world be different?
