I Believe In Nothing.

Crowding, Rapid Change And The Breakdown Of Communities Have Been Widely Recognized As Sources Of Social Problems. But We Do Not Believe They Are Enough To Account For The Extent Of The Problems That Are Seen Today.

People Do Not Consciously And Rationally Choose The Form Of Their Society. Societies Develop Through Processes Of Social Evolution That Are Not Under Rational Human Control.

A Theme That Appears Repeatedly In The Writings Of The Social Critics Of The Second Half Of The 20th Century Is The Sense Of Purposelessness That Afflicts Many People In Modern Society.

The Industrial-technological System May Survive Or It May Break Down. If It Survives, It May Eventually Achieve A Low Level Of Physical And Psychological Suffering, But Only After Passing Through A Long And Very Painful Period Of Adjustment And Only At The Cost Of Permanently Reducing Human Beings And Many Other Living Organisms To Engineered Products And Mere Cogs In The Social Machine.

I Believe In Nothing.
