And all the time -- such is the tragi-comedy of
our situation -- we continue to clamor for those very qualities we are rendering impossible. You can hardly open a periodical
without coming across the statement that what our civilization needs is more 'drive', or dynamism, or self-sacrifice, or 'creativity'.
In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of
them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid
the geldings be fruitful.
- CS Lewis: The Abolition of Man
