Human ability

The basic aberration is inability to control motion.

Practically nobody controls motion to 100 percent of his capabilities. We don’t have to think in terms of vast and complex machines to see how this fits into industry. You take a janitor with a broom and send him down the aisle sweeping. You don’t have to have a person who can control the superultimate complexity of motion to have that janitor, but you would be surprised how many accidents he has if he is low on the Tone Scale.

He’ll shove the handle of the broom through this and that and he’ll knock—template off here, there, and he just goes through the place, and if you were to take—if he’s a very low Tone Scale individual—if you were to take all the objects which he had broken, bent or displaced during a year and strewed them up the aisle so that you could see all this happenstance at one instant, it would look like the Battle of Gettysburg.

He is not only unable to control his own motion with coordination but he conceives almost all other motions in the vicinity to have some ingredient of hostility. He is possibly up to the point where he can only express his hostility, not to objects which are capable of motion, but to objects which are inanimate. If the thing is completely dead, he can attack it. So he’ll break things, objects.”
