THREAT IS NOT A SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES [08.26.98]
In a world where vast experiments are being undertaken, where new psychological devices are being employed, and strange societies are being constituted, we dread the far-reaching implications of what is about to happen to us.
This is threat. To feel that one is on the threshold of deep changes in himself and his way of life is, I think, its essential feature. Threat is, from this point of view, a personal experience, not a set of circumstances.
