Book excerpt: Discusses the ability of psychotechnology to control the fragility and pathos of the ego, which can create and validate humanity while also rationalizing cruelties and inhumanity. The negative, animalistic characteristics of man must be subordinated to the positive values of love and empathy without sacrificing creativity or selective capacities. It is proposed that a program of direct biochemical intervention be implemented to control negativistic tendencies. Ultimately, world leaders who have the nuclear power to determine the fate of humanity should be given the earliest perfected form of appropriate drugs. This requirement would control the barbaric use of power and insure that survival of the human species is not sacrificed to the personal ego pathos of powerful individuals.
