At the moment, then, of Man's victory over Nature, we find the whole human race
subjected to some individual men, and those individuals subjected to that in
themselves which is purely natural' — to their irrational impulses. Nature,
untrammelled by values, rules the Conditioners and, through them, all humanity.
Man's conquest of Nature turns out, in the moment of its consummation, to be
Nature's conquest of Man. Every victory we seemed to win has led us, step by
step, to this conclusion. All Nature's apparent reverses have been but tactical
withdrawals. We thought we were beating her back when she was luring us on.
What looked to us like hands held up in surrender was really the opening of arms
to enfold us for ever. If the fully planned and conditioned world (with its Tao a
mere product of the planning) comes into existence. Nature will be troubled no
more by the restive species that rose in revolt against her so many miUions of years
ago, will be vexed no longer by its chatter of truth and mercy and beauty and
happiness. Ferum victorem cepit: and if the eugenics are efficient enough there will
be no second revolt, but all snug beneath the Conditioners, and the Conditioners
beneath her, till the moon falls or the sun grows cold.

@licheong At the moment, then, of Man’s victory over Nature, we find the
whole human race subjected to some individual men, and those
individuals subjected to that in themselves which is purely ‘natural’ — to their irrational impulses. Nature, untrammelled by values,
rules the Conditioners and, through them, all humanity. Man’s
conquest of Nature turns out, in the moment of its consummation,
to be Nature’s conquest of Man. Every victory we seemed to win
has led us, step by step, to this conclusion. All Nature’s apparent
reverses have been but tactical withdrawals. We thought we were
beating her back when she was luring us on. What looked to us
like hands held up in surrender was really the opening of arms
to enfold us for ever. If the fully planned and conditioned world
(with its Tao a mere product of the planning) comes into existence,
Nature will be troubled no more by the restive species that rose in
revolt against her so many millions of years ago, will be vexed no
longer by its chatter of truth and mercy and beauty and happiness.
Ferum victorem cepit: and if the eugenics are efficient enough there
will be no second revolt, but all snug beneath the Conditioners,
and the Conditioners beneath her, till the moon falls or the sun
grows cold. -CS Lewis
