We are yet to have a conscience at all about the exploitation of human cultures.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is a mistake to think that we can control the breeding of mankind in the long run by an appeal to conscience.
When will our consciences grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it?
We cannot live by power, and a culture that seeks to live by it becomes brutal and sterile. But we can die without it.
The conscience can be a strong guide in life if we allow it.
The media doesn't need a conscience; people need consciences.
It would be foolhardy to count on the conscience of the world.
There's guilt about our treatment of native peoples in modern intellectual life, and an unwillingness to acknowledge there could be anything good about Western culture.
Culture has worked by coming to exercise a form of mind control over us. We willingly accept and even embrace this mind control, and probably without even knowing it.
Nothing has ever moulded our conscience so strongly as our knowledge of what is good and what is evil.
There is such a thing as a national conscience, and it can be touched.
