It reflects a prevailing myth that production technology is no more amenable to human judgment or social interests than the laws of thermodynamics, atomic structure or biological inheritance.

It is only by the rational use of technology; to control and guide what technology is doing; that we can keep any hopes of a social life more desirable than our own: or in fact of a social life which is not appalling to imagine.

Harmony With Nature
Flowers, birds and fish are colourful
Which men and women imitate by dress!
Dragon fly, Caterpillar and birds are models
Man imitates inventing copter, train and plane!
Nature is the model for man's Art forever!
By destroying Nature man develops technology,
Thereby destroys beauty, love and goodness
And suffers for want of rain, water and food!
By copying Nature can man excel it ever?
Competitive spirit of animal nature man follows
Without maturity to advance himself in modernity,
Thereby develops himself into machine-beast-man!
Without living in harmony with Nature can man survive
And save the Earth from destruction naturally or nuclearly?
