Learning:
"It’s really a very great world task to get life the information it needs in order to develop humanity’s highest potentials; how to get the information it needs in the simplest, almost unself-consciously effective manner. Life with the information will do its own learning. It’s not something you can give with a needle. But people have to learn. So how do you provide life with the information it needs to fulfill successfully humanity’s function in Universe? I would not like to get up a system and say, ‘I have a system,’ and try to sell the system to people, but really to see everything we know we can do to help life get the information it needs.
“You don’t necessarily have to go through all the grades of school that we usually do before you can start creating wealth. These things are fairly evident. Once human beings really begin to find out how powerful information really can be, they are suddenly able to master spherical trigonometry and make beautiful geodesic structures, and they are eager to make them. . . . If you get the right information to people when people want something. You can’t get it to them if they don’t want it. I never talk to people unless they ask me to talk to them,”
