Quando pensávamos que o progresso material era ilimitado, que as relações humanas caminhariam no sentido de uma Fraternidade à escala global, que os estados seriam parceiros, que os bancos eram o cofre inesgotável de um pai rico sem limites, quando pensávamos que o cartão de identidade e o passaporte iriam ser documentos dispensáveis, substituídos com vantagem pelo simples cartão de crédito, que poderíamos andar livremente de aeroporto em aeroporto à volta da Terra, e pensávamos que as fronteiras iriam ser abolidas, de súbito, tudo se alterou. Interrogar o que sabe a Cultura sobre a Fraternidade equivale a perguntar o que sabe a Cultura sobre o que é hoje a Humanidade em si.
When we thought that material progress was unlimited, that human relations were heading for a Fraternity on a global scale, that states would be partners, that banks were the inexhaustible safe of a rich father without limit, when we thought that the identity card and the passport would become dispensable, usefully substituted by a simple credit card, that we could use freely from airport to airport around the Earth, and we thought that frontiers would be abolished, all of a sudden, everything changed. To ask what Culture knows about Fraternity is equivalent to asking what Culture knows about what today Humanity is in itself.
