“But if the power system itself was, to begin with, a product of the human mind—the materialization of ideas that had organic and human roots--then the future holds many open possibilities, some of which lie entirely outside the range of our existing institutions. If the fashionable technocratic prescriptions for extending the present system of control to the whole organic world are not acceptable to rational men, they need not be accepted. The pressing human task today is not to endure further misapplications of the power system, but to detach ourselves from it, and cultivate our subjective resources as never before.”
