"..."BETEUBUNG" includes this vapour coming in on you, so I think we can well analyse the streets in major cities, this environmental problem, as a form of "BETEUBUNG", which it is of course - literally.. it is coming in a gas and we donít behave normally, we canít think as clearly, we begin to be inefficient. But the point is this: It is imposed on us and we accept it because it conforms with this moralistic demand on us - not to come out with aggression, not to come out with a kind of possibly natural response - so called natural. Natural always in quote, because there is no such thing as natural, I think we can agree upon that. But you see, the gas of the cars are there because it makes it easier for us not to be aggressive. This is one way we can think about it. In other words - it is self- imposed. We are collaborators, we certainly are, there is no question - we donít need to live like this, we are living like that.
It somehow conforms to a very deep development in humanity over the last hundreds and hundreds of years".
