More From Sargent Shriver

Our present educational systems are all paramilitary. their aim is to produce servants or soldiers who obey without question and who accepts their training as the best possible training. those who are most successful in the state are those who have the most interest in prolonging the state as it is; they are also those who have the most say in the educational system, and in particular by ensuring that the educational product they want is the most highly rewarded.

One of my optimistic prophecies is based on the assumption that machines could have the best algorithms in the universe, but it will never have purpose. and the problem for us to explain purpose to a machine is because we don't know what our purpose is. we have the purpose, but we still ... when we look at this global picture, a universal picture, to understand what is our purpose being here on this planet? we don't know.
Optimistic Purpose Assumption
If you're doing nonsense it has to be rather awful, because there'd be no point. i'm trying to think if there's sunny nonsense. sunny, funny nonsense for children — oh, how boring, boring, boring. as schubert said, there is no happy music. and that's true, there really isn't. and there's probably no happy nonsense, either.
Children Thinking Trying
We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next to find ourselves. we travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate. we travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge, to those parts of the globe whose riches are differently dispersed. and we travel, in essence, to become young fools again- to slow time down and get taken in, and fall in love once more.

Of all the joint ventures in which we might engage, the most productive, in my view, is educational exchange. i have always had great difficulty-since the initiation of the fulbright scholarships in 1946-in trying to find the words that would persuasively explain that educational exchange is not merely one of those nice but marginal activities in which we engage in international affairs, but rather, from the standpoint of future world peace and order, probably the most important and potentially rewarding of our foreign-policy activities.

The problem with movies and books is they make evil look glamorous, exciting, when it's no such thing. it's boring and it's depressing and it's stupid. criminals are all after cheap thrills and easy money, and when they get them, all they want is more of the same, over and over. they're shallow, empty, boring people who couldn't give you five minutes of interesting conversation if you had the piss-poor luck to be at a party full of them. maybe some can be monkey-clever, some of the time, but they aren't hardly ever smart.

I dislike nothing more than finding fault with a man's nature or talent; it only depresses and worries and does no good; one cannot add a cubit to one's stature, all striving and struggling are useless there, so one has to be silent about it, and let the responsibility rest with god.

If you go into the eastern bloc countries we are huge, and in russia. maybe there is something about the depressing nature of our music and lyrics that some people find an affinity with.

Religion restricts the play of choice and adaptation, since it imposes equally on everyone its own path to the acquisition of happiness and protection from suffering. its technique consists in depressing the value of life and distorting the picture of the real world in a delusional manner - which presupposes an intimidation of the intelligence. at this price, by forcibly fixing them in a state of psychical infantilism and by drawing them into a mass-delusion, religion succeeds in sparing many people an individual neurosis. but hardly anything more.
