The
most
thoroughly and
relentlessly Damned,
banned, excluded, condemned,
forbidden, ostracized, ignored, suppressed,
repressed, robbed, brutalized and defamed
of all Damned Things is the individual human being.
The social engineers, statistician, psychologist, sociologists,
market researchers, landlords, bureaucrats, captains of industry,
bankers, governors, commissars, kings and presidents are perpetually forcing
this Damned Thing into carefully prepared blueprints and perpetually irritated
that the Damned Thing will not fit into the slot assigned it. The theologians
call it a sinner and try to reform it. The governor calls it
a criminal and tries to punish it. the psychologist
calls it a neurotic and tries to cure it.
Still, the Damned Thing
will not fit into
their
slots.

Robert Anton Wilson
