In other words, this 'common ground' will be unique for everyone. Our parts are diverse enough that a one-size-fits-all approach will leave out many. Each segment will have its own unique part to play in the Redemption of the Arts; we ought to help each part of our body find the place where it belongs. We aren't trying to suck everyone into our amorphous mass of glue; we are instead striving to be useful tools in the hands of the Artisan as he places every fragment in its place, as he makes us into something more than a pile of pieces.

Maybe they'll finish it: "When in America, do as the Americans do: Buy it on credit." Hmm… interesting.

Do you think several millenia from now people will say "When in America..." There are similarities to our culture and the Ancient Roman culture.
