Procrustes in modern dress, the nuclear scientist will prepare the bed on which mankind must lie; and if mankind doesnโt fitโwell, that will be just too bad for mankind. There will have to be some stretching and a bit of amputationโthe same sort of stretching and amputations as have been going on ever since applied science really got going into its stride, only this time they will be a good deal more drastic than in the past. These far from painless operations will be directed by highly centralized totalitarian governments.
Aldous HuxleyWe tend to think and feel in terms of the art we like; and if the art we like is bad then our thinking and feeling will be bad. And if the thinking and feeling of most of the individuals composing a society is bad, is not that society in danger?
Aldous Huxley
