Sometimes it’s a dog-eat-dog world and the rest of the time it’s the other way around.

The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.

This world is — and when I say “this world” I mean it, I don’t mean it in an ideal sense. I mean it in every day, every little thing you do — it’s such a “Gimme, gimme, gimme.” Everybody back off. Everybody’s taught that from school. Everywhere. Big business: You wanna be successful? You wanna be like Trump? Gimme, gimme, gimme. Push, push, push, push. Step, step, step. Crush, crush, crush. That’s how it all is. And it’s like nobody ever stops, you know?

“Another factor encouraging my positive attitude about
problem solving was World War II when the U.S. spent billions of dollars
for weapons of mass destruction in the Manhattan Project. Cost was no
object and it was one of the largest and best-financed projects
undertaken to that date. I realized the same energies that went into the
Manhattan Project could be channeled to improve and update our way of
life, and to achieve and maintain the optimal symbiotic relationship
between nature and humankind. If we are willing to spend that amount of
money, resources, and human lives in times of war, we must ask why we
don’t commit equal resources to improving the lives of everyone and
anticipating humane needs for the future in times of peace.
When
scientists were called upon to solve problems of a military nature, the
answers were immediately forthcoming. This demonstrated to me the
ability of science and technology to solve problems when properly
organized and funded, but it is shameful that these methods are not
applied to solving social problems on a global scale. In my work I am
not attempting to predict the future. I am only pointing out what is
possible with the intelligent application and humane use of science and
technology. This does not call for scientists to manage society. What I
suggest is applying the methods of science to the social system for the
benefit of human kind and the environment.”
