There is no doubt that the engineering of human society is a difficult and
complicated problem of tremendous ethical responsibility, for it involves
the welfare of mankind throughout an unending succession of generations.
The science of Human Engineering can not be built upon false conceptions
of human nature. It can not be built on the conception of man as a kind of
animal; it can not be built on the conception of man as a mixture of
natural and supernatural. It must be built upon the conception of man as
being at once natural and higher in dimensionality than the animals. It
must be built upon the scientific conception of mankind as characterized
by their time-binding capacity and function. This conception radically
alters our whole view of human life, human society, and the world.
It must be obvious to any one that time-binding is the only natural
criterion and standard for the time-binding class of life. This mighty
term—time-binding—when comprehended, will be found to embrace the WHOLE of
the natural laws, the natural ethics, the natural philosophy, the natural
sociology, the natural economics, the natural governance, to be brought
into the education of time-binders; then really peaceful and progressive
civilization, without periodical collapses and violent readjustments, will
commence; not before. Everything which is really “time-binding” _is in_
the HUMAN DIMENSION; therefore, it will represent every quality that is
implied in such words as—_good_, _just_, _right_, _beautiful_; while
everything that is merely space-binding will be classified as “animal” and
be thus assessed at its proper value. Those ignorant “masters of our
destinies” who regard humans as animals or as monstrous hybrids of natural
and supernatural must be dethroned by scientific education.
