Man has no automatic code of survival. He has no automatic course of action, no
automatic set of values. His senses do not tell him automatically what is good
for him or evil, what will benefit his life or endanger it, what goals he
should pursue and what means will achieve them, what values his life depends
on, what course of action it requires. His own consciousness has to discover
the answers to all these questions—but his consciousness will not function
automatically.
