“I am certain that none of the world's problems have any hope of solution except
through all of the world's individuals becoming thoroughly and comprehensively self-educated. Only then will society be able to identify, and inter-communicate, the vital
problems of total world society. Only then may humanity effectively sort out and put
those problems into an order of importance for solutions that will work for all life on
Earth.” - R. Buckminster Fuller
