[Erich Fromm looking stern, below a quotation from The Sane Society]
Alienation as we find it in modern society is almost total…
Man has created a world of man-made things as it never existed before.
He has constructed a complicated social machine to administer the technical machine he built.
The more powerful and gigantic the forces are which he unleashes, the more powerless he feels himself as a human being.
He is owned by his creations, and his lost ownership of himself.
I’ve said it before and I’ll probably say it again.
The movie “Stand By Me” is going to be age restricted because it depicts unsupervised children. Today all the parents would be arrested.
