Those Who Devote Their Lives To Earning

Precisely Because Galilean Science Is, In The Formation Of Its Concepts, The Technic Of A Specific Lebenswelt , It Does Not And Cannot Transcend This Lebenswelt . It Remains Essentially Within The Basic Experiential Framework And Within The Universe Of Ends Set By This Reality.

Ideas, Aspirations, And Objectives That, By Their Content, Transcend The Established Universe Of Discourse And Action Are Either Repelled Or Reduced To Terms Of This Universe.

The Truth Of Art Lies In Its Power To Break The Monopoly Of Established Reality To Define What Is Real.

The Means Of Communication, The Irresistible Output Of The Entertainment And Information Industry Carry With Them Prescribed Attitudes And Habits, Certain Intellectual And Emotional Reactions Which Bind The Consumers To The Producers And, Through The Latter To The Whole Social System. The Products Indoctrinate And Manipulate; They Promote A False Consciousness Which Is Immune Against Its Falsehood...thus Emerges A Pattern Of One-dimensional Thought And Behavior.

The Range Of Socially Permissible And Desirable Satisfaction Is Greatly Enlarged, But Through This Satisfaction, The Pleasure Principle Is Reduced Deprived Of The Claims Which Are Irreconcilable With The Established Society. Pleasure, Thus Adjusted, Generates Submission.
