Ray Bradbury and Dr. Russell
Kirk, “reactionaries unfond of the
modem world,” were featured
April 21 in PCC’s third annual
Convocation. They spoke on man’s
need for individuality and a high
degree of moral imagination.
A world famous science fiction
writer, Bradbury talked on “The
Challenge of the Space Age.”
Kirk, a conservative philosopher,
gave his address on “Religion,
Ideology, and Revolution.”
Bradbury’s talk ranged from
comments on “McNamara the
Magnificent, the Inventor of the
Edsel,” to “the attack of the fun¬
goid people at Hollywood Blvd.”
He emphasized man’s immaturity
in the world and his dire need for
the preservation of self and indi¬
viduality.
“We are stupid,” said Bradbury.
“We don’t understand ourselves,
and we have not yet learned to
understand the world. We are ig¬
norant of such important aes¬
thetic factors as art in the Far
East.
“In Viet Nam we should hurry
and get the hell out,” he said.
“There is no cause for our med¬
dling in Far Eastern affairs, es¬
pecially if no one understands
what the hell is going on.”
“If the Russians had tried to
help the South Vietnamese we
would certainly have condemned
them for imperialistic aggres¬
sion.”
According to Bradbury, modern
men are only “mad adventurers in
a primitive society. We are the
children of those who tore down
mountains, and now we are cre¬
ating freeways, smog and sky¬
scrapers.
“Always we are recklessly do¬
ing away with things in nature
we don’t approve of.” He adds
that “technology is corrupting us,
but we are intelligent and can re¬
build and learn from our mis¬
takes.”
Like Bradbury, Dr. Kirk em¬
phasized individuality and forsees
“the falcons of the deep arising
in technological and social revo¬
lution.”
Dr. Kirk, however, seemed to
have less faith in our society to
fend for itself. Our western cul¬
ture, in his estimation, is a “frail
creature crawling out of a dung
hill.”
Modern ideology, as defined not
too clearly by Kirk, is a “negative
type of political philosophy with
the aim of usurping God.”
Today countries such as Spain
and Italy are undergoing ideologi¬
cal revolutions in which techno¬
logical advancement is confusing
people, changing their moral stan¬
dards and leading them into Com¬
munism, Dr. Kirk stated.

a “Polynesian Paradise,” is com¬
ing Saturday night, May 6, from
