MORE ORANGE DRINK, MORE CHOCOLATE. IT WAS becoming a regular routine at the camp. Only a few days after the program had begun, all Ponder had to do was sound the whistle and everyone would run to his classroom, falling over themselves to get there. The comfort, the relaxed atmosphere, the rewards, and the pain of the collar had combined for quick conditioning. He was in a hurry, and his early success pleased him enormously; this was the best, most malleable group he'd encountered to date.

He had explained to them the Machist philosophy. It was similar to many Utopian concepts, but it was different in that, as Ponder kept stressing, it worked.

Basically, he'd explained, every Machist considers every other rational being a precious organism. Every one has something he or she can contribute to society, and every one must realize his own value and the fact that his life is interlinked with the lives of those around him. The engineer and the mower of grass are worlds apart in what they do and the skills they need, yet each is an important, living, breathing, thinking being. They must do their jobs because that is what they are best qualified to do; there are no ranks or social strata in Machist society, only jobs.
