Let me recapitulate what seems to be the crucial question at this point of the human venture. Man has acquired such decisive power that his future depends essentially on how he will use it. However, the business of human life has become so complicated that he is culturally unprepared even to understand his new position clearly. As a consequence, his current predicament is not only worsening, but, with the accelerated tempo of events, may become decidedly catastrophic in a not too distant future.
