To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He is a mind, a spirit, a creator, a time-binder. He must be treated for what he is. It becomes at once obvious that a creature of this kind cannot be transformed into a machine, a cog in a wheel, a commodity, an animal. As soon as such an attempt is made, there occurs inside of him a civil war, which gives him no peace. That he rebels against it and goes on strike is not his fault, but God's, for God made him to be a time-binder. A time-binder cannot consent with himself to be an animal or to ...be treated as one. He may be tempted into a bargain to sell his soul for a mess of pottage, but the bargain can never be final. The stars in their courses are against it. Whether we say that a workman is a soul and must be loved, or whether we prefer the language of mathematics and say that he is an exponential function of time and must be treated like a man, it makes no difference, provided we think in terms of the fact itself. It is highly significant that a man 152 ROBINSON CRUSOE, SOCIAL ENGINEER like Korzybski, starting from the standpoint of mathematics and thinking in exact terms, and we starting from the standpoint of the social sciences and thinking in terms of human welfare, have ar- rived at exactly the same point, and stand with reverence before the same illuminating fact, which we agree is the only possible way of escape for modern industry.
