I can't accept the world as it is now, so I'm doing everything I can to create a viable world for all people, not individual Nations.

We declare it is unfair, that man is the highest stage of evolution that is taught in school. Man destroys the oceans, the fish, the atmosphere and each other. Man flies over a city, presses a button and burns everybody in the city with nuclear weapons. Is he the highest creation of nature? Yet, in my opinion. We have a long way to go. We could either develop Paradise on Earth or oblivion and fall into oblivion. Only the future will answer. What will it be - depends on us.

They built a society, call established. This "well-established" point of view, they then perpetuate, wherever possible.
In fact, all companies are in the process of continuous development and are not well-established and static. And so they fight new ideas that would interfere with the traditions.
Governments are trying to keep the system that allows them to stay in power. Officials elected not to change. They are kept there in order to remain in their seats.

If few Nations control most of the resources of the Earth will be territorial disputes, there will be war. Will have all the same problems as before. Therefore, the majority considers that there is a human nature that people are greedy by nature, and that all of this problem. It's not true. The banker, a serial killer, a bandit, a priest created by their environment. This is not an innate behavior. Exactly the conditions in which we grow and produce our behavior.

A successful businessman chhat want other people's lives. We admire successful people. They're the meanest sons of bitches in the world! All values are perverted. But it's easier to live with distorted values because they serve personal gain. So, if you are focused on personal gain, that's your philosophy: you get out into the world, sticking your finger in everyone's ass; you smile and your hand on their shoulder.

Our younger generation goes to the Park and sees a baseball field or football field. Some of you will say: "Oh, it's okay." This piece of trash! There are no chemical laboratories for kids who like science. There is no place where children could go to study aeronavtika or geodisciplines. Why none of the damn Park, no music, drawing, science, theatre, photography? Why is it always one football or baseball?
I'll tell you what it's for. For the development in men aggressive behavior. One guy grabbed the ball, pulled it from someone else and took that down. Then in case of war or conflict he will have formed a loyalty to his team and aggression.

They bought all the media that are now fooling the public. The media has turned into petty traders corporate interests that control political power.

Individuality is nonsense. Effect every contact with other people, read every book, each new movie, each character in it, all it is piece of who we are.

The people of the future may see our stage of civilization development as the era of intellectual and economic failure. It's hard for them to understand why we perceive the aggression and competition as the norm.

In the days of my youth, which was held in new York, I refused to take the oath of allegiance to the flag. Of course, I was sent to the principal's office, who asked: "Why don't you pledge allegiance? After all, everybody does it!" I said, "once everyone believed that the Earth was flat, but that doesn't mean that the way it is". I explained that their achievements America owes to other cultures and peoples, and I would prefer to swear allegiance to the Earth and all its inhabitants. Needless to say, soon after I left school and equipped in the room laboratory, where he started studying natural history and other Sciences. And then I realized that the universe obeys laws, and that man, like society itself, are no exception. Then, in 1929 there was the stock market crash, which was the beginning of what is now called the great depression. I couldn't understand why millions of people remained without work, have lost their homes and were forced to starve while the plants were idle, and resources were still available. It was then that I realized that rules of the economic game at its core is wrong. Soon after the Second world war, during which many countries have consistently destroying each other. At the end of the war I calculated that all spent on the destruction of tools and resources could easily provide every person on the planet. Since then, I watch humanity digging its own grave. As constantly are being wasted and destroyed priceless exhaustible resources in the name of profit and free markets. I see how social values are reduced to artificial materialism and mindless consumption. And how financial forces control the political system supposedly free society. Now I am 94. I'm afraid that my attitude remained the same as 75 years ago. It's time to stop this madness.

Let's consider this question. I'm on the way to mad, rather, about the habit - mad, which everyone has. Habit to be angry, basically, is that at some point, your attitude to something it is subjective. And love, as I have already said: "a subjective thing" - which is why it often leads to subjectivity in behavior.

In the future, when our children look back, they gasp: "did you not see that the monetary system gave rise to kickbacks and bribery, wasn't it obvious?" You answer: "No, because we grew up in this system, we do not know."

As soon as people realize that the values and attitudes of a person are shaped by the environment to manipulate them becomes much more complicated.

Do the people living in a monetary system or not, but they are constantly manipulated through the media. The deepest beliefs of people imposed on books, movies, television, religions, role models and closest surroundings. Even the concepts of good and evil, notions of morality are part of their cultural heritage and life experience. This control method does not require the use of brute force and it works so well that most do not even feel and do not realize that they are being manipulated.
