Synopsis
Excerpt from Can Mankind Survive
If for a time we could induce all people to study the new social forces at work with out heat or prejudice, with unflinching can dor, as the surgeon takes an X-ray photo graph of a broken bone in order to treat and heal it, the basis of an enlightenment which would save from destruction would be gained. N 0 other method can give us that basis. The old habit of anger at all honest social diagnosis is suicidal. Never before was the world in so evil and wholly perilous a state as now, and the stony pride in iniquity that has controlled the past will prevent a redeeming reorganization of mankind if it is not broken. Let us there fore proceed as if this base pride did not exist and as if modern men were united in the will to produce a world decent and fit to dwell in.

Product Description
Excerpt from Can Mankind Survive Everywhere there are signs that a great social upheaval covering the entire civilized world will follow the war. The world has fallen into inconceivable chaos, but we have now discovered that only a little less chaos has always been the condition of civilized society, and this discovery is acting as a radical revolutionary impulse. Our eyes have been opened by this war to the utter slovenliness of man's management of the earth. As no other event in history, the war has been a mirror in which man could see himself and the world he has made. For man has made the world what it is and is responsible.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This enlightening book takes a critical look at the historical development of human society, exploring the reasons for the downfall of previous civilizations and examining the current state of humanity. The author argues that humans have sabotaged their own brains by selectively breeding for hostility and suppression of intelligence, resulting in a deformed brain structure that hinders progress. The book delves into the formation of the knave-slave dynamic, where the knaves live off the labor of the slaves, and the evolution of respectability, where the knaves have learned to justify their actions with theories of morality. It also explores the role of the doctrine of loving one's enemies in perpetuating this system of oppression. The book concludes with a discussion of the importance of intelligence and the need for a radical restructuring of society to break free from the cycle of destruction and create a more just and equitable world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
