"Man’s conquest of himself means simply the rule of the Conditioners over the conditioned human material, the world of post-humanity which, some knowingly and some unknowingly, nearly all men in all nations are at present laboring to produce" (Lewis 75)

"But once our souls, that is, our selves, have been given up, the power thus conferred will not belong to us. We shall in fact be the slaves and puppets of that to which we have given our souls" (72)


The final section of The Abolition of Man talks about how the fallacies in human nature will eventually lead to their end. Man will always try to change Nature so they will be satisfied, but we find there are some things in nature that cannot be changed. It is up to our generation to learn from the mistakes of our ancestors in order to be truly satisfied.
