Superstition is another important all-time force, but it was derisively dismissed by the technocrats as mystic pish posh, allowing man to fall into the pit-eous pathologic condition that they sneeringly considered engulfs so many men. Many world-wide superstitions, however, are scientifically rationalizable and sustainable as of high importance.
“The superstition that singing too early in the morning is a forerunner of tears in the evening is universally current in primitives and among supposedly highly developed, socially cultured people. The superstition is actually – in view of the wave phenomenon and unit of energy output clearly measured and charted in emotional attitudes – an indication of man’s ultimate anticipation of the necessary balancing of lows and highs. In it, therefore, is a distinctly scientific proclivity. Yet emotion, so essential to selective growth and survival was denied by technocracy as a social factor.”
