Theoretically, man is said to be nothing but an animal with a highly developed cerebrum. At the same time, it is believed of this man that he is capable by science and technical devices of achieving whatever he wants. The deification which might have been thought to be finally overcome, returns as it were from behind, in the form of a deification of technical creativity to which not much less than omnipotence is ascribed. After mankind has done away with the pseudo-religion of race and blood, it is faced with the even greater danger of a technocratical pseudo-religion.

It involves the conceptions of authoritative examination, of unquestionable proof, of decisive judgment, of punitive power. Whatever the final issue may be, he who "convicts" another must place the truth of the case in a clear light before him, so that it must be seen and acknowledged as truth. He who then rejects the conclusion which the exposition involves, rejects it with his eyes open and at his peril. Truth seen as truth carries with it condemnation to all who refuse to welcome it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Less at thine own things laugh; lest in the jest Thy person share, and the conceit advance,  Make not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23230]]></link><description><![CDATA[Less at thine own things laugh; lest in the jest Thy person share, and the conceit advance,  Make not thy sport abuses: for the fly   That feeds on dung is colored thereby.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're going to make sure we send more people to the ball. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35238]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're going to make sure we send more people to the ball.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35238</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were hoping to get a better handle on it.

This speaks for God in an age of inhumanity and impersonality and facelessness. When people look at us, their reaction should be, "These are human people" -- human, because we know that we differ from the animal, the plant, and the machine; and that personality is native to what has always been [human]. If they cannot look upon us and say, "They are real people", nothing else is enough.
