nothing happens without collective cooperation

This is Noam Chomsky.
Author and prof of Linguistics and Philosophy at MIT.
Many suspect he might be the most important thinker alive today.

"There's things you can do in groups you can't do by yourself. In fact, that's true of the most advanced sciences. Very little is done individually. It's usually done in groups by collective action and interchange and critique and challenge, with students typically playing an active and often critical role."
