Recent Issues. Chapter 11: A New Preface to Beyond Freedom and Dignity. Quote 12

“Those who are unhappy about scientific solutions sometimes assure us that we shall solve our problems in other ways when they are bad enough, when the immediate consequences are no longer reinforcing and the remoter ones have been sampled. But it is in the nature of overpopulation, the exhaustion and pollution of the environment, and a nuclear war that “bad enough” is a point of no return.” (p. 120)
