ABSTRACT
The person or the nation that has a date with destiny goes somewhere, though usually not to the address on the label. All societies produce effluents of people as of sewage. The more complex a society, the more prone it may become to human effluence; and we may learn that values have to be recycled just the way nitrogen does. The greatest human tragedy is to feel useless and not wanted, and with the rise in the intelligence of machines, we may face period in which the human race divides into two parts, those who feel themselves to be more intelligent than machines and those who feel themselves to be less. The vision of the universe indeed as a total system extending magnificently through time and space and with equal magnificence towards the infinitesimal structure, and towards the immense complexity of the inner space of the human mind, is an experience which we need not be ashamed to call religious.
