RBF Definitions
"The young people see that we cannot correct such negatives as air
and water pollution by local means for, obviously, the air and
water flow everywhere around our planet and affect everybody
and thus, if anything may ‘belong’ to anybody, they realize that
the spaceship Earth’s prime resources belong to everybody.
"The young people see clearly that we cannot control our
environment until we gain enough confidence both in ourselves
and others to permit us to use both our physical resources and
our higher faculties to induce each one of us to deal as
intelligently with all the world and all people as we would with
our most trusted and beloved friends.
"To be able to coordinate and take the initiative, the TV
generation see that they must face up to these facts of the
organic omni-interdependence of our whole spaceship Earth’s
component resources and people.
"The young feel the older ones are no longer capable of such
realistic farsightedness. The older generation has been
frustrated too long. It is too slavish and lacks fundamental
confidence that technoscientific innovations can be made to
work and that man can be both physically and metaphysically"
