Steeped in the status quo, Earley just couldn't think "outside the box" (politically and ideologically). He was capable in some ways but had an intellectual limitation--a lack of objectivity. The person embraced outlandish fiction but angrily dismissed a scenario of political change.
Of course, his attitude was representative of the broader society. People are receptive to forecasts of technological progress, but a mental blind spot precludes thoughts of revolution.
Earley's death went virtually unnoticed in CT, where he had spent much of his life. Death in obscurity was fitting, as he was no great loss.
