Social change cannot come above the intellect, it comes about by people suffering. And the more people are related to that, the more they lose respect for an existing government. They will seek another direction. If there are too many people who seek a new direction, then the existing government calls upon the army and police to manage society โ that is called fascism.
Jacque FrescoPolitics is an obsolete way of doing things. Although it was good a hundred years ago, it has no place in today's high tech society.
Jacque FrescoDon't forget - you're dealing with aberrated people. They're not responsible for their answers. They're victims of culture. That means they have been influenced by their culture.
Jacque FrescoI didn't want to teach my kid how to read, so I used to read to him at night and close the book at the most interesting part. He said, โWhat happened then, daddy?โ I said, โIf you learn to read, you can find out. I'm too tired to read. I'll read to you tomorrow.โ So, he had a need to want to learn how to read. Don't teach children how to read. Don't teach them mathematics. Give them a reason to want it. In school, they're working ass-backwards.
Jacque FrescoEverything that you've learned: 'Make a lot of money, have a nice house'. But they never teach you at school how to relate, how to communicate with others, how to share values with others. ...They teach you how to make a living. You become an optometrist, he becomes a physicist, she becomes a structural engineer, he's an architect. In the future, none of that. Everybody is trained to be a generalist, so they understand different cultures, different values, how we get to be the way we are. So no-one can ever use you for war or killing anybody or hurting anybody
