We're doomed, in the late twentieth century, to demythologize. I think it's a terrible condition. However, it's our condition and we cannot escape it. What I'm doing is removing the taboos. It's terrifying, because I do see the reason why people have taboos.
Taboos are there to control people's behaviour when there is no chance of their using their reason.
One taboo, for example, is Don't kill your father. A taboo is working when the kid doesn't even think of smashing his father. The anger in this youth who's stronger than his father is a very powerful thing, and the taboo is as powerful as his anger. So taking away a taboo is a very dangerous thing to do, and yet we are doomed to do it. In fact, I do believe that we've moved on to a higher level.
