It is to progress in the human sciences that we must look to undo the evils which have
resulted from a knowledge of physical world hastily and superficially acquired by
population unconscious of the changes in themselves that the new knowledge has
imperative. The road to a happier world than any known in the past lies open before us
if atavistic destructive passions can be kept in leash while the necessary adaptations are
made. Fears are inevitable in time, but hopes are equally rational and far more likely to
bear good fruit. We must learn to think rather less of the dangers to be avoided than of
the good that will lie within our grasp if we can believe in it and let it dominate our
thoughts. Science, whatever unpleasant consequences it may have by the way, is in its
very nature a liberator, a liberator of bondage to physical nature and in time to come, a
liberator from the weight of destructive passions. We are on the threshold of utter
disaster or unprecedentely glorious achievement. No previous age has been fraught
with problems so momentous; and it is to science that we must look to for a happy
future.

Piccadilly Circus was full of loneliness.It seethes and echoes with it. To live near it.
Looking down on it is a discomforting exercise. You can't feel the pulse of London

hoping to draw attention to themselves - both typically from the provinces. They have
come to see the heart of London and expect to see spectacle, glamour and vice.

In place of old pleasures demanding intelligence and personal initiative, we have vast
organizations that provide us with ready-made distractions—distractions which
demand from pleasure seekers, no personal participation and no intellectual effort of
any sort. To the interminable democracies of the world, a million cinemas bring the
same stale balderdash. There have always been fourth-rate writers and dramatists; but
their works, in the past, quickly died without getting beyond the boundaries of the city
or the country in which they appeared. Today, the inventions of the scenario-writer go
out from Los Angeles across the whole world. Countless audiences soak passively in the
tepid bath of nonsense. No mental effort is demanded of them, no participation; they
need only sit and keep their eyes open.

The enjoyment of physical possession of things would seem to be one of the
prerogatives of wealth which has been little impaired. Presumably nothing has
happened to keep the man who can afford them from enjoying his Rembrandt and his
homegrown orchids. But enjoyment of things has always been associated with the third
prerogative of wealth which is the distinct it confers. In a world where nearly everyone
was poor, the distinction was very great. It was the natural consequence of rarity. In
England it is widely agreed, the ducal families are not uniformly superior. There is a
roughly normal incidence of intelligence and stupidity, good taste and bad taste,
morality, immorality. But very few people are dukes and duchesses, although the later

even though they may be intrinsically unexpectional they are regarded with some awe.
So it has long have been with the rich. Were dukes numerous their position would
deteriorate. As the rich have become more numerous, they have inevitably becomes a
debased currency.
