“Given the philosophical decadence and decline of our age, the question of what, among the technological comforts and aids that the world offers us, is allowable and what is not becomes crucial. Since the society around us has surpassed even classical hedonism in its service to man’s passions, and since it reviles and sets aside both the Christian standards which used to guide society and the higher notions of the ancient non–Christian pagans, we are left to examine the problem of technology in a stark and naked way.”
