So much happens these days,
-
Ne Sinchronizuotas
the triple evolutions called Cybernetics, Human rights, Weaponry
-
Ne Sinchronizuotas
I guess much happen happened on the month has happened on the century
-
Ne Sinchronizuotas
And I think we have to call upon not politicians these days but observers,
-
Ne Sinchronizuotas
Anthropologists, Sociologists, Psychologists.
Doctor Margaret Mead; all three of these.
-
Ne Sinchronizuotas
the coming of age,
-
Ne Sinchronizuotas
in somewhere all the box are follows, new guinea
-
Ne Sinchronizuotas
male or female
-
Ne Sinchronizuotas
Doctor, where do we begin?
-
Ne Sinchronizuotas
We're told that we have so much to offer to underdeveloped countries.
-
Ne Sinchronizuotas
We speak of primitive societies in a very patronising way, don't we?
-
Ne Sinchronizuotas
Well, some of us do, but in general we call them developing or emerging nations today,
-
Ne Sinchronizuotas
which is not as patronising because it is recognising not where they've been but where they're going.
-
Ne Sinchronizuotas
And, certainly people all over the world who've been exposed to, during and since World War II,
-
Ne Sinchronizuotas
to the new possibilities that are offered by the whole scientific revolution, want what we have.
-
Ne Sinchronizuotas
They don't want their children to die, they want themselves to be able to live longer,
-
Ne Sinchronizuotas
they want all the new possibilities of the modern world.
-
Ne Sinchronizuotas
So when we say WE, it's because we identify ourselves with the special products of our own type of civilisation.
-
Ne Sinchronizuotas
Something we have, because there aren't things we haven't got that they have, wouldn't you say?
-
Ne Sinchronizuotas
Well, but it doesn't make very much sense to say we don't have what they have, I mean
-
Ne Sinchronizuotas
we don't have the simplicity of living at the dawn of the world, and we'll never...
-
Ne Sinchronizuotas
it's like going back and trying to regain lost innocence.
-
Ne Sinchronizuotas
Uh, we would like to have some of the things of which they have in earlier form,
-
Ne Sinchronizuotas
uhm, just as they have an earlier form of technology,
-
Ne Sinchronizuotas
we now have a later form of technology which is far better.
-
Ne Sinchronizuotas
Now, we haven't yet later forms of human community that are as much better as our techological forms.
-
Ne Sinchronizuotas
But nevertheless, to live in the society where you regard a hundred and eighty million people as fellow citizens,
-
Ne Sinchronizuotas
and to hurt or kill one of them is uhm, regarded as doing something to your own, is great improvement
-
Ne Sinchronizuotas
to living in a society where there are a hundred and eighty people that you regard as human beings,
-
Ne Sinchronizuotas
and you regard the rest of it, the whole rest of every human being you've ever met as nothing.
