Recent Issues. Chapter 11: A New Preface to Beyond Freedom and Dignity. Quote 11

“Designs must be put into effect, and only by those who can do so effectively. That means governments, religions, and economic enterprises, which control most of the conditions under which we all live. They, however, are under the control of consequences affecting their own survival, which are much less remote and hence more powerful than the survival of the species. Moreover, the effects of these consequences are usually in conflict with it.” (pp. 118-119)
