The Technology Of Mass Production Is Inherently

At Present, There Can Be Little Doubt That The Whole Of Mankind Is In Mortal Danger, Not Because We Are Short Of Scientific And Technological Know-how, But Because We Tend To Use It Destructively, Without Wisdom. More Education Can Help Us Only If Produces More Wisdom.

That Soul-destroying, Meaningless, Mechanical, Moronic Work Is An Insult To Human Nature Which Must Necessarily And Inevitably Produce Either Escapism Or Aggression, And That No Amount Of 'bread And Circuses' Can Compensate For The Damage Done-these Are Facts Which Are Neither Denied Nor Acknowledged But Are Met With An Unbreakable Conspiracy Of Silence-because To Deny Them Would Be Too Obviously Absurd And To Acknowledge Them Would Condemn The Central Preoccupation Of Modern Society As A Crime Against Humanity.

The Purpose Of Work Is To Give People A Chance To Utilize And Develop Their Faculties; To Enable Them To Overcome Their Ego-centeredness By Joining Others In A Common Task; And To Bring For The Goods And Services Needed For A Becoming Existence.

True Art Is The Intermediary Between Man's Ordinary Nature And His Higher Potentialities.

An Entirely New System Of Thought Is Needed, A System Based On Attention To People, And Not Primarily Attention To Goods. . . .
