Author of quotes: Ivan Antonovich Efremov

The same thing can be said about schools, most of them producing callous and bone graduates, completely devoid of curiosity, which was not the case 20 years ago. School program mired in the details instead to create a system of ideas about the world, as a result of successful disciples, "wonks", completely devoid of creative thinking. They get into UNIVERSITY, and then come to the company, in bureaus, research institutes, completely devoid of a holistic view about the world.

For the socialist and Communist slogans disappears for a long time petty-bourgeois, Philistine greed and envy and the desire for easy money and things.

Give the teenager 12-14 years view of himself as Creator, Explorer of the unknown is generated already by this time the stereotype of a "successful street", which filled the entire Western noosphere and ingrained in our.

The desire for expensive things, fast cars, huge houses, etc. - a legacy of the Freudian complex of the psyche, developed through sexual selection. The only way of overcoming this complex through a comprehensive understanding of mental and psychophysiological processes, which for 2,000 years practiced in India and Tibet.
Training and education should begin with the study of psychology as the history of the development of human consciousness and history as the history of the development of social consciousness. Physics, chemistry, mathematics is required, but not sufficient discipline for the consciousness of modern man with its huge population density and, as a result, information density, with the inevitable brainwashing that is required to maintain the current social order.

To think that it is possible to build an economy that will satisfy any human need, the trend is what permeates the whole of Western (e.g. American), and our own, in a vulgar and literal meaning of "to each according to his needs", the fiction is an unaffordable utopia, akin to the utopia of perpetual motion, etc.

Generation, accustomed to honest way of life have become extinct over the next 20 years and then will occur the greatest catastrophe in history in the form of widely disseminated technical monoculture, the foundations of which now persistently implemented in all countries, and even China, Indonesia and Africa.

When all people are honest and hard work will be unusual, what the future may await humanity? Who will be able to feed, clothe, heal and transport people? Dishonest as they are currently, as they can conduct scientific and medical research?

We can see that since ancient times, the morality and honour (in the Russian sense of the word) much more important than swords, arrows and elephants, tanks and dive bombers.

All the destruction of empires, States, and other political organizations occur through the loss of morality.
This is the only valid reason for disasters in all of history, and therefore, examining the causes of almost all disasters, we can say that the destruction is in the nature of self-destruction. Incompetence, laziness and playfulness "boys" and "girls" in any endeavor is a characteristic feature of this time. I call it the "explosion of immorality," and this, I think, is much more dangerous than nuclear war.

A certain asceticism is not such a terrible evil as many people think. People should samoogranichitsja yourself. After all, if you give the unlimited will to meet the needs, humanity will soon turn into a huge theatre of different household tragedies. Try to give the layman pyatisotletny "Fiat" of pure silver. "I want a gold or platinum - can utter Philistine. - As a neighbor here furniture black wood, but I only have, like, red...". And so on, ad infinitum, because such requests there is no limit. There's even a kind of Genie would lower hands. Therefore, the question is not to saturate the world of luxury goods, but to translate these human needs into higher and higher spiritual level. That man might easily do without a fashionable trinkets, without cordials and liqueurs, even tasty, but that he was choking from thirst to embody in images, words, sounds, paint. Thirst of creativity.

Some of the economic problems that now seem very important today, in fact only a question of economic nonsense, of course, for the highly developed countries. Annual epidemics change of clothes, the pursuit of fashionable things as a natural consequence of the fear of sounding conservative, thousands of wines, viands, drinks - the new entourage does not necessarily capture a train on the route "the present future". Yet these benefits brighten Genesis, but in the future when our lives will be much more interesting, I think "food" and "fashionable", the problem will progressively disappear.

If it happened, what the reality surpassed our dreams, it would mean that people simply stopped dreaming.

The diversity of the Universe is inexhaustible!
