Now I would ask the question if this isn’t of some importance, this matter of fooling ourselves into thinking that we see and feel the modern when it is unfeelable and unseeable. I should think that it would have very great significance. It could have something to do with why it is at the present moment that our technology is so developed that we could feed and make everybody technically more successful than any man has ever been before, and yet we don’t have the ability socially to organize ourselves to do anything about it. We seem to be on the road to blowing ourselves up. We have more and more emergencies of higher and higher frequency, so I would say that our social capability is lagging. And I would say that much of our social disabilities must have to do with our being preoccupied with certain myths. What I then intend to do in giving you the subject “Trends to Invisibility,” is to really try to examine if I can, the ways in which we have deceived ourselves, and then examining ways in which we might be able to organize ourselves towards informing ourselves more effectively regarding where we are in our Universe and what we might do about it.
