Description

Back to our series on human behavior. Mr. Buckley leads off with a quotation

from Aldous Huxley, comparing past religious, political, and economic revolutions with the impending "psychological revolution": " 'That will really be a revolution. When it is over the human race will give no further trouble.' " His guests spend the rest of this fascinating hour explaining that even if professional ethics did not forbid this Brave New World kind of thing, human beings aren't so malleable as all that. DP: "It behooves the experimentalist to say: 'You shall not employ me as your technician. Instead we need to know who is man, what is his nature, what are his operating principles, what should his objectives be in the most enlightened way.' "
