The chromium millennium ahead of us, I gather, is going to be an age whose ideal is a fantastically unnatural human passivity. We are to spend our lives in cushioned easy chairs, growing indolent and heavy while intricate slave mechanisms do practically everything for us as we loll. No, I do not mean that we should take the hardest way.
Compromises are natural and right.
But a human being protected from all normal and natural hardship simply is not alive.
