We Can Work Out Anything If We

There Are No Good Or Bad People, Humans Are Shaped By Culture.

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.

As Man Reaches Out Toward The Twenty-first Century, He Will Learn To Be Suspicious Of All Ideas That Are Not Formulated So That They Can Be Tested By Observation. He Will Realize That The History Of Human Thought Shows That The Ideas Of Which We Are Surest Are The Ones We Most Need To Test. He Will Realize That His Common Sense Only Mirrors His Training And Experience. What Seems Natural And Right To Him Is Usually A Reflection Of The Conditions Under Which He Spent His First Decade Of Life.

We Talk About Civilization As Though It's A Static State. There Are No Civilized People Yet, It's A Process That's Constantly Going On... As Long As You Have War, Police, Prisons, Crime, You Are In The Early Stages Of Civilization.

If You Want Your Children To Relate To The Culture You Live In, If You Want To Train Them Outside Of The General System, You Have To Tell Your Children That Ordinary Children Tend To Say Things Like 'i Can Run Faster Than You; I Can Draw Better Than You; I Know Things You Don't Know'. You Have To Tell Them What Normal Children Are Like. Normal Children Are Messed Up And You Have To Tell Them About That. But If You Instruct Your Child In High Correlation With The Physical World, They Won't Be Able To Relate With Normal Children. Normal Means Mixed Up As I Use The Word.
