Beyond instead the reading you decided to give,
what was expressed is that, also given that people are at the same time powerful (capable of fulfilling their wishes) and largely unwise (which makes that power dangerous), also given that for centuries (taking the Industrial Revolution as a symbolic point) power has dramatically increased but wisdom definitely lags, a boost of the latter would be "useful" (as an understatement), and highly capable reasoners (past "computers") could be crucial.
I daily see evidence of people being fools, and if they computed the way they reason (i.e. too often very badly), I would welcome the spread of calculators.
