“Hoy en día, después de dos guerras mundiales y tres revoluciones decisivas, sabemos que no existe por fuerza ninguna correlación entre la tecnología avanzada y la moralidad avanzada. Muchos hombres primitivos cuyo control sobre su entorno es rudimentario, se las ingenian a pesar de todo para ser felices, virtuosos y, dentro de sus limitaciones, creativos. A la inversa, los miembros de las sociedades civilizadas, poseídos por los recursos tecnológicos que les permiten ejercer un considerable control sobre el entorno, a menudo son llamativamente infelices, están inadaptados y en modo alguno son creativos; si bien la moral privada es tolerablemente buena, la conducta colectiva es salvaje, hasta el punto de rayar en la monstruosidad.”
Quote by Aldous Huxley
