A-line In The Sky
a: Western civilization ~
b: a plane on auto-pilot
What: "At present western civilization is like an aircraft on auto-pilot, its moral course fixed in the Christian era, with nobody understanding where the navigational settings came from or how to adjust them, and fast running out of fuel. Despite his valuable scientific contributions, Galton's blindness to the needs of both political and moral order surely contributed to this unhappy state of affairs."
