LSD The Problem-Solving Drug. 
Stafford, P. G., and Golightly, B. H. (1967).
New York: Award Books.

 ...For if man is to cope with his new found physical and biological power and responsibility, there must be an abrupt and decisive revision of human psychology. The motives that have made human history a chronicle of bloodshed and brutality will otherwise certainly and shortly lead to the annihilation of the species. The psychedelics offer the hope that we are on the threshold of a new renaissance in which man's view of himself will undergo dramatic change. Alienated and encapsulated, he has become trapped by his history in outmoded institutions which disfigure him with the creed of original sin; corrupt him with fear of economic insecurity; dement him with the delusion that mass murder is an inevitable outcome of his nature; debase him to believe that butchery in the name of the state is a sacred duty, and leave him so crippled that he is afraid to seek self-understanding or to love and trust himself, his neighbor, or his God. (Duncan B. Blewett, introduction, pages 18-19)
