Prescription For Rebellion

Abstract

The thesis of this hook is that man has been ground into a standard pattern by the apostles of adjustment and that to ensure his existence and the existence of his world, man must disavow the philosophy of mediocrity that dominates our culture and must re-discover his genius. The denial of talent, the worshipping of the norm, the repression of individuality that is so common among the leaders of thought can only lead man to eventual ruin. Every civilization has the seeds of its own destruction in it, and our preoccupation with conformance-often to completely impossible and unrealistic goals is leading inevitably to social collapse
