1
00:00:01,042 --> 00:00:05,758
The scientific method, if applied socially, will work.

2
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,761
It does not attain perfection. It's just a far better system

3
00:00:10,901 --> 00:00:14,135
than any other system that we know of today.

4
00:00:14,275 --> 00:00:17,527
I'm not talking about utopian societies

5
00:00:17,667 --> 00:00:20,991
where everybody is happy. There's no such condition.

6
00:00:21,131 --> 00:00:26,356
All social systems are in a state of evolution.

7
00:00:26,496 --> 00:00:32,103
An established society is one that has found a way

8
00:00:32,243 --> 00:00:36,976
that worked for the people in control of that society;

9
00:00:37,116 --> 00:00:42,322
whereas all societies are emergent, constantly evolving.

10
00:00:42,462 --> 00:00:46,551
There's no such thing as attaining a sane world.

11
00:00:46,691 --> 00:00:51,275
Sanity depends on the acquisition of information

12
00:00:51,415 --> 00:00:55,812
and applying that information to the well-being of all people

13
00:00:55,952 --> 00:00:58,305
and protecting the environment.

14
00:00:58,445 --> 00:01:01,311
That's what I mean when I use the word sanity.
