DISCUSSION 
said is putting the cart before the horse: a lot of tensions, a 
lot of personal aggressiveness, all the undesirable facets of 
conscience that we have been talking about, are not so much 
the cause as the consequence of our political institutions. 
People who have the most idealistic consciences can sometimes 
get themselves involved in the most unholy and sinister type 
of activity through the particular political institutions they be- 
long to. If we turn things around, won’t we achieve many of 
the things that Dr. Chisholm was talking about? Most effec- 
tively, we must repair our political institutions as best we can 
with the kind of limited consciences we have at our disposal. 
This is not a problem of science; it is one of politics at the 
present time.
