Politically, the goal of today's dominant trend is statism. Philosophically,
the goal is the obliteration of reason; psychologically, it is the erosion of
ambition.
The political goal presupposes the two others. The human characteristic
required by statism is docility, which is the product of hopelessness and
intellectual stagnation. Thinking men cannot be ruled; ambitious men do not
stagnate.
