Success:
"…It is technically feasible, with the resources we now have–the knowledge we now have-- to actually take care of all humanity at the highest standard of living anybody has ever known. I see no excuse whatsoever for the poverty class. We must take our highest capability and, instead of applying it to the weaponry–how do we kill?–applying it to how do we really make those people successful.
"We’re in for a very great reorientation. We’re learning our lessons. Fortunately all of humanity is in on this. We’re on the air. All of humanity is on the air today. And we are learning. But we are going to have to really learn to really take our highest capabilities and apply them directly to making man a success.
“That’s why I find this very educational… and the people who are here have a great responsibility… and I see earnestness everywhere. But we are just preoccupied with reform, which really doesn’t work.”
