Page "belles_lettres" Paragraph 365

We are already committed to establishing man's supremacy over nature and everywhere on earth, not merely in the limited social-political-economical context we are fond of today.

Otherwise, we go on endlessly trying to draw the line, color and other, as to which kind of man we wish to see dominate.

We have proved so able to solve technological problems that to contend we cannot realize a universal goal in the immediate future is to be extremely shortsighted, if nothing else.

We must believe we have the ability to affect our own destinies: otherwise why try anything??

So in these pages the term `` technology '' is used to include any and all means which could amplify, project, or augment man's control over himself and over other men.

Naturally this includes all communication forms, e.g. languages, or any social, political, economic or religious structures employed for such control.

Properly mindful of all the cultures in existence today throughout the world, we must employ these resources without war or violent revolution.
