Pinheads

"I think most of the education that I’ve seen today is essentially producing a person for a job. It’s very specialized. They’re not generalists. People don’t know a lot about a lot of different subjects. I don’t think you could get people to go to war if they knew a lot about a lot of things. I think education is mostly rote, and they’re not taught how to solve problems, not given the tools emotionally or within their own field of how to do critical thinking."

"Patriotism, weapons, armies, navies, all that is a sign that we’re not civilized yet. Kids will ask their parents… ‘Didn’t you see the necessity of machines? Dad, couldn’t you see that war was inevitable when you produce scarcity? Isn’t it obvious?’ Of course the kid will understand that you were pinheads raised merely to serve the established institutions.

We’re such an abominable, sick society that we won’t make the history books. They’ll just say that large nations took land from smaller nations, used force and violence. You’ll get history talked about as corrupt behavior all the way along until the beginning of the civilized world. That’s when all the nations work together.

World unification, working toward common good for all human beings and without anyone being subservient to anyone else. Without social stratification whether it be technical elitism or any other kind of elitism, eradicated from the face of the earth. The ‘state’ does nothing because there is no ‘state’.

The system I advocate, a resource based global economy is not perfect, it’s just a lot better than what we have. We can never achieve perfection."
