Mephistopheles, the machine man, can provide us with all the means, and is thus likely to determine the aims of life as well. But of course the characteristic of Faust, which makes him eligible to be saved, is that he seeks aims that are not those of the machine.
Joseph CampbellLife is not a problem to be solved but a mystery to be lived. Follow the path that is no path, follow your bliss.
Joseph Campbell
