I‘m reading a book called "Deliver Us from Evil” by Ravi Zacharias (in this section he’s also referring to CS Lewis’ ‘The Abolition of Man’)
Here's a little bit of it
"But alas! What have we done to ourselves? We have told a generation that science is real and therefore the human brain is real. We have told them that food is real and therefore our stomachs are real. But we have told them that good and bad do not exist and therefore our emotions have nothing to do with reality. In effect we have produced a generation of “men with brains and men with stomachs. Men with no heart. Men without chests.” Now as we witness wickedness at its worst we wonder how the criminal could be so heartless. ‘In short of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.”
