The individual is in a dilemma:
either he decides to safeguard his freedom of choice, chooses
to use traditional, personal, moral, or empirical means,
thereby entering into competition with a power against which
there is no efficacious defense
and before which he must suffer defeat;
or he decides to accept technical necessity,
in which case he will himself appear the victor, but only
by submitting irreparably to technical slavery.
In effect he has no freedom of choice.”
