The Farrer hypothesis is such a theory.

Famous quotes containing the words building and/or priority:

    Colin Haycraft (b. 1929)

    It can be fairly argued that the highest priority for mankind is to save itself from extinction. However, it can also be argued that a society that neglects its children and robs them of their human potential can extinguish itself without an external enemy.
    Selma Fraiberg (20th century)
