Machines, in their way, have their own priorities and ideals. Such a culture has its trajectories and its internal dynamics which must be played out, until it collapses from its own alien meaninglessness, succumbing to the rebellions of a denied biology, or worse, to the rebellions of an outraged irrationality, of mindless superstition, of subversion, corruption, and hatred, of blind zealotry or intentionally inculcated fanaticism. A world of plastics and circuits, attacked, hemorrhages with human blood. A culture which fulfills the machine and not man is a culture in which man is alienated, a culture in which he is not himself but essentially an appendage to industry and technology, an emigrant from himself, a foreigner on the soil of his own soul. In the human condition sexuality is radically central, and the machine has no need of innate sexuality. To it sexuality is irrelevant and nonfunctional.
