Technical progress safely smoothes out the differences between races, cultures, continents, and the hour is not far away when people on the streets, say, Stockholm and Tokyo will only be distinguished by a cut and melody of incomprehensible speech.

European thinking is accustomed to a linear perception of reality: being is embodied in specific forms, ideas about reality are cast into the final formulas, life is a certain sequence of events that presumably make sense.
