venus today helping
The Venus Project is a concept that could happen today but it is not up to me, it depends on what others do to help bring it about.
today would-be offensive
Much of a behavior acceptable today would be socially offensive in a saner or more logical arrangement.
today our-society type
I am afraid to live in the society we live in today. Our society cannot be maintained by this type of incompetency.
years today way
Politics is an obsolete way of doing things. Although it was good a hundred years ago, it has no place in today's high tech society.
war today university
Our universities today are better equipped than ever, and the wars keep getting worse.
thinking culture today
Anthropology studies different cultures; mainly primitive, but it doesn't think its own culture is primitive, unfortunately. There is no field that you can study today that isn't trapped in the culture in some way. It's hard to escape your culture.
common declare earth eventually heritage needed ongoing resources social
What is needed is the intelligent management of Earth's resources. If we really wish to put an end to our ongoing international and social problems, we must eventually declare Earth and all of its resources as the common heritage of all the world's people.
opinion study dangerous
Opinions are very dangerous, because they aren't based on scientific studies.
engineering agriculture people
Very few people can communicate with one another. The only language that's not subject to interpretation is mathematics, chemistry, basic science, engineering principles, and applied agriculture. But other than that, many systems today are subject to interpretation.
good-life needs
You don't need to get rid of religion; you have to outgrow the need for it. In other words, instead of hoping for the good life, you make the good life.
children culture taught
We are not taught to be thinkers, but reflectors of our culture. Let's teach our children to be thinkers.
law hatred greed
Human behavior is subject to the same laws as any other natural phenomenon. Our customs, behaviors, and values are byproducts of our culture. No one is born with greed, prejudice, bigotry, patriotism and hatred; these are all learned behavior patterns. If the environment is unaltered, similar behavior will reoccur.
cities world way
We live in a world where our social system is old, our language is old, the way we acquire goods and services is outdated, our cities are detrimental to our health, chaotic and a tremendous waste of resource, and most of all our politics and values no longer serve us.
beautiful girl islands
There is no such thing as beauty. If your culture says, 'This is a beautiful girl,' that's within the framework of your culture. If you're brought up in an island where people have pointed heads, that would be 'beautiful' in your terms. All these mythological structures is what gets us into trouble; the artificiality of our values that get us into trouble.
