Technical civilization has made the great error in not suppressing death, the only human reality still intact.

Technique has taken over the whole of civilization. Death, procreation, birth all submit to technical efficiency and systemization.

The tool enables man to conquer. But, man, dost thou not know there is no more victory which is thy victory? The victory of our days belongs to the tool.

The individual who is the servant of technique must be completely unconscious of himself.
