Technical Civilization Has Made A Great Error

Belief Is Reassuring. People Who Live In The World Of Belief Feel Safe. On The Contrary, Faith Is Forever Placing Us On The Razor's Edge.

Propaganda Begins When Dialogue Ends.

To The Ideal Of High Consumption And The Downgrading Of Spiritual Values Corresponds A Conception Of Injustice That Centers Exclusively On The Problem Of Consumption; And Equality In Consumption Cannot Be Achieved Except By Violence.

The Will Of The World Is Always A Will To Death, A Will To Suicide. We Must Not Accept This Suicide, And We Must So Act That It Cannot Take Place.

If Man--if Each One Of Us--abdicates His Responsibilities With Regard To Values; If Each One Of Us Limits Himself To Leading A Trivial Existence In A Technological Civilization, With Greater Adaptation And Increasing Success As His Sole Objectives; If We Do Not Even Consider The Possibility Of Making A Stand Against These Determinants, Then Everything Will Happen As I Have Described It, And The Determinates Will Be Transformed Into Inevitabilities.
