...human nature which most people still consider unpleasant, and by asserting the primacy of science, although admittedly still "infant," over religious "illusion," Freud has gained the hatred of many who feel he has destroyed man's dignity.

Moreover, automation is most profitable in a time of full production: so much money is invested in the automated tool that a plant manager must keep it at work. In Jenkintown. Pa., for example, the Standard Pressed Steel Co. installed a $140,000 automated furnace in its bolt factory. The furnace could be operated by one man instead of five; it boosted bolt production 133% to 2,100 Ibs. hourly...
