As a whole part of psychological education it needs to be remembered that a neurosis can be valuable; also that adjustment to a sick and insane environment is of itself not health but sickness and insanity.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of recognizing that a neurosis, or a mental disorder, can have value in the context of psychological education. It cautions against blindly accepting an unhealthy and unstable environment as the norm for "adjustment." Suggesting that conforming to such an environment is not a sign of mental health, but rather confirms sickness and insanity. This reminder encourages critical thinking and the prioritization of mental well-being over complacency in an unhealthy society.

It is a commonplace that the history of civilisation is largely the history of weapons. In particular, the connection between the discovery of gunpowder and the overthrow of feudalism by the bourgeoisie has been pointed out over and over again. And though I have no doubt exceptions can be brought forward, I think the following rule would be found to be generally true that ages in which the dominant weapon is expensive or difficult to make will be ages of despotism, whereas when the dominant weapon is cheap and simple, the common people have a chance. Thus, for example, tanks, battleships and bombing planes are inherently tyrannical weapons, while rifles, muskets, longbows and handgrenades are inherently democratic weapons. A complex weapon makes the strong stronger, while a simple weapon so long as there is no answer to it gives claws to the weak.
