Yes, I agree. I think the most important thing is to get poverty and 
conflicts under control SO THAT education and a grand scale improvement of 
understanding can be created (why I'd call myself a socialist) that is, I 
believe that mankind can progress and develop new ways of understanding - 
the MOQ can be a part of that - but to do this, social value patterns and 
biological ones should be kept well controlled by intellectual ones (in my 
book that would be "rationality"). As it is today, what I would call social 
level thinking is controlling much of politics, and thus the whole world.

I saw an interview a while ago with our old Prime Minister, where he said 
that one of the other prime ministers of the EU had told him (he wouldn't 
say who) that when he had talked to George W Bush and asked him if he was 
sure about the war in Iraq George had answered that he was sure, because God 
had told him it was right. Cheap shot to bring this up perhaps, but it 
illustrates my point of "social thinking" (Hmm, this term may lead to 
confusion)  controlling politics.
