To depersonalize man is the dominant drift of our times.

Summary

This quote suggests that the predominant trend in our society is to diminish the individuality and uniqueness of human beings. It implies that there is a growing tendency to treat people as mere objects or statistics, rather than recognizing and valuing their distinct personalities, thoughts, and emotions. This depersonalization trend may be reflected in various aspects of modern life, such as the influence of technology, the dehumanizing effects of mass media, or the prevalence of bureaucratic systems that prioritize efficiency over human connection.
