We use and we ab-use knowledge in the homes of the home and in the home of the homes. We die-immerge into the unconscious everywhere out of the conscious here and the conscientious now, the home and the home of the homes.

Between the time of our emergence out of the unconscious everywhere into the conscious here and that of our immergence into the unconscious everywhere out of the conscious here, we are occupied either use-fully or wastefully with the conscientiously facultative development of one of the homes of the home, or of the home of the homes. When use-fully engaged, we are working architecturally or architectonically (respectively, right-wise-ly or right-eous-ly) and therefore, constructively for the home, and Civilization—the Might of Right—is promoted: when waste-fully and, hence, destructively for the home. Subjugation-the Right of Might-obtains. Civilization is wholly humane; Subjugation is wholly inhuman.

The pride and the haughtiness of the inhuman subjugator has most often been the cause of the question, "What does it all mean?" Unfortunately all but a very few of the victims have been dependent members of some crowd of believers, theistical or political, and have taken the dicta of sense-direction, that of leaders of the crowds. But there have been a few independent souls from time immemorial, whose fidelity to principle made them scorn the mountebankcy of the leaders and the servility of the crowd, as well. To this diminutive force, by whose diligence, law after law has been discovered, is due the high hope of Civilization and the eventual doom of Subjugation. Nature's laws, taken en masse, constitute the whole of what we call knowledge. When taken as a system these laws constitute a code, an authoritatively organized body. The formula, entitled A MECHANICAL

PHILOSOPHY, purports to be this CODE, with the properties and powers of Space as its authority. The idiomorphic character of its psychological method and its ethical system, as demonstrated by the two accompanying examples, sharply distinguishes its unconscious operations from any like conscientious intellectual production.
