I hope that our logic will help us find
our own "human" solutions.

Unless of course we have lost
our logic in the meantime.

We had it once; it helped us to
have the success we had.

Now we have lost it.

We have to endure the fate of
fermentation bacteria.

I'm still hoping, perhaps naively, that it is not so,
or at least not entirely so.

I think we haven't completely lost our ability to think.

And therefore I am embarrassing and
boring you with what I write here.

I assume that there is still hope, that we still have
a chance. We need only to have the courage to
face up to the truth and make the effort to think.

Neither the one nor the other is easy.

We are accustomed to averting our attention from
the unpleasant, and the truth in this case, I greatly
fear, will be extremely unpleasant.

We have learned to think as little as possible
and soon it may be completely forbidden.

Are we still far away from George Orwell's "1984",
or it has arrived already, and we haven't noticed it,
because the methods of thought control through the
press, television and the cinema are much more
subtle and therefore much more effective than the
arrests and the executions of the old days?
