Western society for the past 300 years has been caught up in a fire storm of change.
This storm, far from abating, now appears to be gathering force. Change sweeps through the highly industrialized countries with waves of ever accelerating speed and unprecedented impact. It spawns in its wake all sorts of curious social flora—from psychedelic churches and "free universities" to science cities in the Arctic and wife-swap clubs in California.
It breeds odd personalities, too: children who at twelve are no longer childlike; adults who at fifty are children of twelve. There are rich men who playact poverty, computer programmers who turn on with LSD. There are anarchists who, beneath their dirty denim shirts, are outrageous conformists, and conformists who, beneath their button-down collars, are outrageous anarchists. There are married priests and atheist ministers and Jewish Zen Buddhists. We have pop ... and op ... and art cinétique ... There are Playboy Clubs and homosexual movie theaters ... amphetamines and tranquilizers ... anger, affluence, and oblivion. Much oblivion.

الإرتباك من المستقبل:
الشعور بالتوتّر والضياع الذي يشعر به الأفراد عندما تتعرّض حياتهم للكثير من التغيّرات في وقت قصير جدًا.

it became clear that future shock is no longer a distantly potential danger, but a real sickness from which increasingly large numbers already suffer. This psycho-biological condition can be described in medical and psychiatric terms. It is the disease of change.

لقد صارَ من الواضح أنّ الإرتباك من المستقبل لم يعد خطرًا بعيد الإحتمال، بل مرضًا حقيقيًا تعاني منه أعدادٌ متزايدة من الأفراد. هذه الحالة النفسية-البيولوجية يمكن وصفها بمصطلحات طبية ونفسية؛ إنّه المرض الناجم عن التغيير

Those ppl are seriously living in a childish fantasy
No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable
