1
00:00:00,119 --> 00:00:05,203
You can't find the answers by declaring a society democratic.

2
00:00:05,343 --> 00:00:08,541
You can only find the answers by research and development.

3
00:00:08,681 --> 00:00:11,027
You can't find the answers

4
00:00:11,978 --> 00:00:15,000
by putting people of high moral character in government.

5
00:00:15,140 --> 00:00:17,950
You can only find the answers by innovation

6
00:00:18,090 --> 00:00:22,587
by studying the systems and the problems and working on methods

7
00:00:22,727 --> 00:00:26,038
of alleviating those problems, not through law.

8
00:00:26,178 --> 00:00:29,263
Law is when you don't have a method of solving a problem.

9
00:00:29,403 --> 00:00:31,430
If people steal or hurt one another

10
00:00:31,570 --> 00:00:34,524
you say "It's against the law to hurt somebody."

11
00:00:34,664 --> 00:00:37,475
If a person doesn't have the means to live by

12
00:00:37,615 --> 00:00:41,610
he's going to hurt somebody to get the money or whatever they need.

13
00:00:41,750 --> 00:00:46,551
That isn't dealing with the problem. 'Law' is really avoiding problems;

14
00:00:46,691 --> 00:00:50,055
it's just nailing a proclamation on the wall

15
00:00:50,195 --> 00:00:52,433
saying "You! Don't do this."

16
00:00:52,573 --> 00:00:55,563
It doesn't work in the long run.

17
00:00:55,703 --> 00:01:00,626
You might cause people to consider an action before they take it

18
00:01:00,766 --> 00:01:04,057
but all laws come into existence because of scarcity.

19
00:01:04,197 --> 00:01:06,258
It's always difficult to imagine that.

20
00:01:06,398 --> 00:01:09,680
When there's scarcity of water, people will steal it, remove it

21
00:01:09,820 --> 00:01:12,274
if not for themselves, for their children.

22
00:01:12,414 --> 00:01:15,052
[You can have] all laws in the world

23
00:01:15,192 --> 00:01:18,334
but if you don't want people to steal water, you build an electric fence

24
00:01:18,474 --> 00:01:21,179
around the water.

25
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,510
You don't need to put up a sign 'Don't Steal Water!'

26
00:01:23,650 --> 00:01:27,411
but those people will die, so we don't want to do that.

27
00:01:27,551 --> 00:01:30,198
We don't want to build a fence around our country and say

28
00:01:30,338 --> 00:01:32,920
"This is the greatest country in the world. We're gonna keep it that way!"

29
00:01:33,060 --> 00:01:36,539
We depend on other countries. If we live to ourselves

30
00:01:36,679 --> 00:01:40,195
I can assure you, we'll die of ourselves

31
00:01:40,335 --> 00:01:43,090
because if the Russians do nuclear testing

32
00:01:43,230 --> 00:01:47,249
and they dump radioactive stuff into the sea, or the Japanese

33
00:01:47,389 --> 00:01:50,403
the world is one big place and the air moves around

34
00:01:50,543 --> 00:01:53,869
and the waters move. Therefore living to yourself

35
00:01:54,009 --> 00:01:56,260
your little isolated colony

36
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,261
your little culture that you want to build

37
00:02:00,605 --> 00:02:03,760
your little city that you want to build

38
00:02:04,060 --> 00:02:06,760
of people with like-mindedness

39
00:02:06,998 --> 00:02:10,230
all of that has no basis for survival

40
00:02:10,370 --> 00:02:13,200
because in the event of catastrophic failure

41
00:02:13,340 --> 00:02:15,853
you will be invaded by the minorities

42
00:02:15,993 --> 00:02:19,321
if they don't have food, water or the wherewithal to live.
