历史的塑造现在超过了人们根据珍视的价值观来定位自己的能力。哪些价值观？即使没有恐慌，人们也常常感觉到旧的感觉和思维方式已经崩溃，而新的开始模糊到道德停滞的地步。

The very shaping of history now outpaces the ability of men to orient themselves in accordance with cherished values. And which values? Even when they do not panic, men often sense that older ways of feeling and thinking have collapsed and that newer beginnings are ambiguous to the point of moral stasis.

You know, we're often told that we live in very materialistic times, that we're all greedy people. I don't think we are particularly materialistic. I think we live in a society which has simply pegged certain emotional rewards to the acquisition of material goods. It's not the material goods we want;
