History's political and economic power structures have always abhorred 'idle people' as potential troublemakers. Yet nature never abhors seemingly idle trees, grass, snails, coral reefs, and clouds in the sky.
There is enough for everyone. People think that there isn't enough, so they get as much as they can, so many people don't have enough.
It is not for me to change you. The question is, how can I be of service to you without diminishing your degrees of freedom?
Humanity is now experiencing history's most difficult evolutionary transformation.
If you want to teach people a new way of thinking, don't bother trying to teach them. Instead, give them a tool, the use of which will lead to new ways of thinking.
For the first time in history it is now possible to take care of everybody at a higher standard of living than any have ever known. Only ten years ago the 'more with less' technology reached the point where this could be done. All humanity now has the option to become enduringly successful.
Windmills installed around the world converting their direct current into alternating current and feeding the electric energy into the world network can harvest the planet Earth's prime daily energy income source-the wind--and adequately supply all the world's energy needs
I am enthusiastic over humanity’s extraordinary and sometimes very timely ingenuity. If you are in a shipwreck and all the boats are gone, a piano top buoyant enough to keep you afloat that comes along makes a fortuitous life preserver. But this is not to say that the best way to design a life preserver is in the form of a piano top. I think that we are clinging to a great many piano tops in accepting yesterday’s fortuitous contrivings as constituting the only means for solving a given problem.
It seems that truth is progressive approximation in which the relative fraction of our spontaneously tolerated residual error constantly diminishes.
Nature is all that we think we know plus all that we don't know whether or not we know that we don't know it.
On personal integrity hangs humanity's fate
You can't change the way people think, all you can do is give them a tool, the use of which will change their thinking.
I live on Earth at present, and I don’t know what I am. I know that I am not a category. I am not a thing — a noun. I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process – an integral function of the universe.
The dark ages still reign over all humanity, and the depth and persistence of this domination are only now becoming clear. This Dark Ages prison has no steel bars, chains, or locks. Instead, it is locked by misorientation and built of misinformation.
Topology is the science of fundamental pattern and structural relationships of event constellations.
The pyramids, attached with age, have forgotten the names of their founders.
Wealth is the product of energy times intelligence: energy turned into artifacts that advantage human life.
It is well known that of every strong woman they say she has a masculine mind.
I'm utterly convinced that we are all here for one another and that every experience that everyone is having is relevant. It all counts. The Universe is so extraordinarily well designed that it needs all those experiences.
The one common experience of all humanity is the challenge of problems.
