Suicide of Humanity:
"In 1961 scientists successfully demonstrated to one another that overspecialization was the cause of extinction of all the biological species and of all the human tribes, which now have vanished from the planet Earth. With the world politicians whooping up the education-for-specialization system for all their people, world man was training swiftly for total suicide of humanity. He developed the means of self-destruction by many means-- the atomic bomb, gas and microbe warfare, pollution of his water and air, exhaustion of his energy wealth without having the comprehensive world will and means to stop himself. . . .
"Humanity has been only inadvertently saved from extinction. . . . The new fall-out technology which displaced man as a specialist (professional scientist or craftsman) is the new computer-monitored automation industry.
