And An Apprenticeship To Whatever Gadgetry Is

Science Brings To The Light Of Day Everything Man Had Believed Sacred. Technique Takes Possession Of It And Enslaves It.

Technique Has Taken Over The Whole Of Civilization. Death, Procreation, Birth All Submit To Technical Efficiency And Systemization.

The Qualities Which Technique Requires For Its Advance Are Precisely Those Characteristics Of A Technical Order Which Do Not Represent Indivisual Intelligence...the Individual, In Order To Make Use Of Technical Instruments, No Longer Needs To Know About His Civilization.

Education No Longer Has A Humanist End Or Any Value In Itself; It Has Only One Goal, To Create Technicians.

Totalitarianism Extends To Whatever Touches It...psychological Technique, As It Operates In The Army Or In A Great Industrial Plant, Entails A Direct Action On The Family. It Involves A Psychological Adaptation Of Family Life To Military Or Industrial Methods, Supervision Of Family Life, And Training Family Life For Military Or Industrial Service. Technique Can Leave Nothing Untouched In A Civilization. Everything Is Its Concern. Technique, Which Is Destroying All Other Civilizations, Is More Than A Simple Mechanism: It's A Whole Civilization In Itself.
