People are more willing to support the exercise of authority over themselves when they believe it to be an objective, neutral feature of the natural world.

The native is declared insensible to ethics; he represents not only the absence of values, but also the negation of values. He is, let us dare to admit, the enemy of values, and in this sense he is the absolute evil.
