...the world we live in is very nearly incomprehensible to most of us. There is almost no fact, whether actual or imagined, that will surprise us for very long, since we have no comprehensive or consistent picture of the world that would make the fact appear as an unacceptable contradiction. We believe because there is no reason not to believe...[education] in itself has been emptied of any coherent world-view, Technopoly deprives us of the social, political, historical, metaphysical, logical or spiritual bases for knowing what is beyond belief.
Technopoly, p58
