'avec la premire tincelle de Pense apparue sur Terre, la Vie s'est trouve avoir mis au monde un pouvoir capable de la critiquer, et de la juger. Risque formidable, longtemps dormant, mais dont les dangers clatent avec notre premier veil l'ide d'volution [...] Le dernier sicle a connu les premires grves systmatiques dans les usines. Le prochain ne s'achvera certainement pas sans des menaces de grve dans la Noosphre.
Les lments du Monde refusant de servir le Monde parce qu'ils pensent. Plus exactement encore, le Monde se refusant lui-mme en s'apercevant par Rflexion [...] ce n'est rien moins qu'une crise organique de l'volution.'
- Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Le Phnomne humain (Seuil, 1955)

'when the first spark of thought appeared upon the earth, life found it had brought into the world a power capable of criticising it and judging it. This formidable risk which long lay dormant, but whose dangers burst out with our first awakening to the idea of evolution [...] The last century witnessed the first systematic strikes in industry; the next will surely not pass without the threat of strikes in the noosphere.
There is a danger that the elements of the world should refuse to serve the world - because they think; or more precisely that the world should refuse itself when perceiving itself through reflection [...] nothing less than an organic crisis in evolution.'
