On the Theory of Knowledge, Theory of Progress [N2a,2]

The momentum of primal history in the past is no longer masked, as it used to be, by the tradition of church and family — this at once the consequence and condition of technology. The old prehistoric dread already envelops the world of our parents because we ourselves are no longer bound to this world by tradition. The perceptual worlds <Merkwelten> break up more rapidly; what they contain of the mythic comes more quickly and more brutally to the fore; and a wholly different perceptual world must be speedily set up to oppose it. This is how the accelerated tempo of technology appears in light of the primal history of the present. ◊Dream City and Dream House, Dreams of the Future, Anthropological Nihilism, Jung◊
