As long as superstition and ignorance prevail, humanity will fall short of eradicating war, poverty, and hunger.
Jacque Fresco
Image
As long as there are prisons, police, armies, navies we are not civilized. When the Earth joins together and uses the Earth intelligently, that will be the beginning of civilization.

There's no way to design a society that's optimal or utopian. It's better than the one that was. Systems always undergo change.
Jacque Fresco
Image
The system you're brought up under tries to make you like the people that succeeded in that system.

Wiser, never wise. Smarter, never smart.
