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.
It utilizes sexuality only to produce tenders of machines, mechanics, and repairmen, its own servants and slaves, thinking themselves free, while obeying the compulsions of process.
Many things, as is well known, are the products of human action but not of human design.
And these may be benign and salutary, but, too, they need not be so.
And it is ironic that human action could mindlessly construct prisons that no rational being would willingly design.
