This was the invention of two individuals, the Wright brothers, who applied their energy and intelligence not to the pressing problems of humanity and their solution in humantruth, but to man's accomplishment of heavier-than-air flight. This was applauded as a great human achievement but it was a matter of specialised ambition. Mankind had long dreamed of emulating the birds but it was not a matter of first concern.
Would we Define Human Being as the creative and inventive urge, the need to investigate, discover and technologically develop things with little or no thought as to their necessity or the eventual consequences? Certainly not - this is to play into the hands of the Machine. Our prior need is to establish a cooperative, responsible humantrue society which knows how best to utilise its material resources.
During the short time which followed the flight of the first aeroplane, industry found a ready market by applying the invention to warfare. There was no shortage of men and later women to fly these planes, exchanging dull Machine-jobs for the dangerous freedom of the cockpit. Their willingness was largely a matter of craving for adventure rather than mature intellectual decision.
In the ensuing years, warplanes have become ever more deadly.
and the aeroplane industry has exploited another huge and questionable market - tourism. On their way from big cities to plush resorts, the jumbo jets pass over places which haven't even developed a clean water supply.
The ideal Definition of Human being is belonging to a society in which big decisions are unanimous, made by the supraconscious moral majority according to true need, not by a minority of persons who are apart and out of touch.
