“There does seem to be a trend toward a return to a kind of primitive outlook on life, a more tribal attitude, and I think it’s a natural reaction to industrialization. But unfortunately, it’s kind of naive because the future is going to become increasingly mechanized, computerized, as you call it, and I don’t think there’s any turning back. It’s just figuring out a way to survive and thrive in that kind of society. I don’t think there’s any chance of going back. Look at it this way, too. The hippie lifestyle is really a middle-class phenomenon, and it could not exist in any other society except ours where there’s such an incredible surfeit of products.” (Jim Morrison, from an interview with Tony Thomas on CBC Radio)
