Design Revolution: Pulling the Bottom Up Sequence:
"pulling the top down. This really changes the whole strategy of socialism-- the whole attitude that begins with Marx’s acceptance of Darwin’s notion of the survival of the fittest. This is the truth; this is the great potential. I see no reason for pulling the top down.
"There are those who are obsolete or who have been the victims of the specialization of yesterday, victims of all the things that nature had to do. Evolution had to do things her own way, I guess, because man didn’t know enough in the beginning. Now he’s gotten to the point where he does know better. The amount of information you all have is just magnificent, a fantastic thing. It could nô have been available to you yesterday, but you do have it now.
“Therefore I can still understand yesterday’s rampant feeling that the people who are not in gear ought to be done away with-- the idea of pulling the top down in order to have enough to go around. And someone always needs punishing… and others feel they are the deservers. But I don’t think any of us know nearly enough to do that. I don’t believe anybody should be punished.”
