Ahora bien, un humano enfrentado con una imposibilidad, responde frecuentemente con una retirada de la realidad; penetra en un mundo de engaño, entregándose a la bebida, llegando al histerismo, o tirándose de un puente. Todo esto se reduce a lo mismo, la negativa o la incapacidad de enfrentarse serenamente con la situación. Y lo mismo ocurre con los robots. Un dilema, en el mejor de los casos, creará un desorden en sus conexiones; y en el peor abrasará su cerebro positrónico sin reparación posible

How then to enforce peace? Not by reason, certainly, nor by education. If a man could not look at the fact of peace and the fact of war and choose the former in preference to the latter, what additional argument could persuade him? What could be more eloquent as a condemnation of war than war itself? What tremendous feat of dialectic could carry with it a tenth the power of a single gutted ship with its ghastly cargo?
Every human being lived behind an impenetrable wall of choking mist within which no other but he existed. Occasionally there were the dim signals from deep within the cavern in which another man was located — so that each might grope toward the other. Yet because they did not know one another, and could not understand one another, and dared not trust one another, and felt from infancy the terrors and insecurity of that ultimate isolation — there was the hunted fear of man for man, the savage rapacity of man toward man.
