We are drive by blind social processes, in which we are trapped in our own actions. Sociology has the task of finding the causes and explanations of those processes, so that we can learn to better control those blind social processes. We have to understand how those processes work, how something comes out of the web of action which no one intended, to that we can better guide those processes. It's a matter of controlling the uncontrolled.
~ Norbert Elias
