The Substance Of Man Cannot Be Measured

The Technology Of Mass Production Is Inherently Violent, Ecologically Damaging, Self-defeating In Terms Of Non-renewable Resources, And Stultifying For The Human Person.

A Way Of Life That Ever More Rapidly Depletes The Power Of The Earth To Sustain It And Piles Up Ever More Insoluble Problems For Each Succeeding Generation Can Only Be Called Violent.

Few Can Contemplate Without A Sense Of Exhilaration The Splendid Achievements Of Practical Energy And Technical Skill, Which, From The Latter Part Of The Seventeenth Century, Were Transforming The Face Of Material Civilization, And Of Which England Was The Daring, If Not Too Scrupulous, Pioneer.

Scientific And Technological "solutions" Which Poison The Environment Or Degrade The Social Structure And Man Himself Are Of No Benefit, No Matter How Brilliantly Conceived Or How Great Their Superficial Attraction.

I Cannot Predict The Wind But I Can Have My Sail Ready.
