No need to use Ted's. The following "selected quotes" will work just as well.


> All human behavior is scheduled and programmed through rationality.
> There is a logic of institutions and in behavior and in political
> relations. In even the most violent ones there is a rationality. What
> is most dangerous in violence is its rationality. Of course violence
> itself is terrible. But the deepest root of violence and its
> permanence come out of the form of the rationality we use. The idea
> had been that if we live in the world of reason, we can get rid of
> violence. This is quite wrong. Between violence and rationality there
> is no incompatibility.

The questions answer themselves as can be seen from what's been substituted for answers.
