Quote by Sigmund Freud
Man has, as it were, become a kind of prosthetic God. When he puts on all his auxiliary organs, he is truly magnificent but those organs have not grown on him and they still give him much trouble at times.
Summary
This quote suggests that humans have become like gods through the use of tools and technology, as these external "organs" enhance their abilities. However, this reliance on artificial constructs can also bring about difficulties and challenges. While humans may appear impressive and capable with these tools, they are not inherently a part of their being and can cause complications. In essence, the quote reflects on the paradoxical nature of humans aspiring to transcend their limitations but also facing the consequences of reliance on external aids.
