"Owing to this vastly greater power of memory, reflection and
inhibition man is much freer than any other animal. Animals which
learn little from experience have little freedom and the more they
learn the freer they become...." Conklin.

It may be added here that the "spiral theory" explains how our reactions
can be accelerated and elaborated by ourselves, and how truly we are the
masters of our destinies.

"Because we can find no place in our philosophy and logic for self
determination shall we cease to be scientists and close our eyes
to the evidence? The first duty of science is to appeal to fact
and to settle later with logic and philosophy...." Conklin.

There will be no difficulty in the settlement of facts with the new
philosophy of "Human Engineering."

"The analysis of instinct from a purely physiological point of
view ultimately furnishes the data for a scientific ethics. Human
happiness is based upon the possibility of a natural and
harmonious satisfaction of the instincts.... It is rather
remarkable that we should still be under the influence of an
ethics which considers the human instincts in themselves low and
their gratification vicious. That such an ethics must have had a
comforting effect upon the orientals, whose instincts were
inhibited or warped through the combined effects of an enervating
climate, despotism and miserable economic conditions is
intelligible, and it is perhaps due to a continuation of the
unsatisfactory economic conditions that this ethics still prevails
to some extent.... Lawyers, criminologists and philosophers
frequently imagine that only want makes man work. This is an
erroneous view. We are instinctively forced to be active in the
same way as ants or bees. The instinct of workmanship would be the
greatest source of happiness if it were not for the fact that our
present social and economic organization allows only a few to
satisfy this instinct. Robert Mayer has pointed out that any
successful display or setting free of energy is a source of
pleasure to us. This is the reason why the satisfaction of the
instinct of workmanship is of such importance in the economy of
life, for the play and learning of the child, as well as for the
scientists or commercial work of the man.... We can vary at will
