-
Well the thing that I see
-
about the world
-
what it should be
-
is all question of imagination.
-
If we imagine today
-
what kind of world we want
-
and that’s the world we created.
-
Everybody has a freedom to
-
imagine in his or her way.
-
My imagination is
-
we want to create a world
-
which will be absolutely free from poverty.
-
Meaning, that there will be
-
no poor person on this planet,
-
anywhere in the world.
-
And once you create that,
-
we’ll create poverty museums.
-
So that people who’d like to know
-
what is it that used to be called poverty,
-
how did it happen?
-
So they will go into poverty museum,
-
they’ll take their children to poverty museum.
-
That’s the kind of world I would like to build.
-
And that will be the world
-
where there will be no unemployment.
-
And when you tell people,
-
Oh there used to be unemployment,
-
there was a big crisis,
-
there was a lot of unemployed people,
-
young unemployed
-
and people will be wondering,
-
what is unemployment?
-
Why should anybody be unemployed?
-
They have capacity.
-
Why one human being should be unemployed?
-
What does it mean?
-
They will be writing thesis
-
to understand what is unemployment?
-
Why did it happen in those past days?
-
And nobody should be on welfare.
-
Why state has to take care of people?
-
Or any charity organization has to take care of people?
-
Because human being has everything inside.
-
How come it couldn’t provide the facilities
-
so that it can bring those capacities
-
and contribute to the world.
-
And we would want to create
-
a world where there will be no unnecessary deaths.
-
We pride our technology,
-
we pride our knowledge.
-
Simple thing.
-
Why human beings die of preventable diseases?
-
Those diseases should be gone.
-
So that’s the kind of world,
-
and a world where we will not make this
-
planet more dangerous
-
than it was before.
-
We’ll make it everyday
-
will be of more safe than it was yesterday.
-
So we start thinking about it,
-
and we start working towards it
-
and it will happen.
-
When we create fictions,
-
social fictions,
-
it will happen,
-
like we do science fictions.
-
We go to the Moon; that was a science fiction.
-
We go to Mars; that was a science fiction.
-
We go to another galaxy; that’s a science fiction.
-
Because we make those fictions,
-
science follows them.
-
Make it happen.
-
In the science fiction,
-
there is some thing that we start
-
talking to each other.
-
If imagination can do it,
-
reality should be able to do that too.
-
And it is becoming
-
more and more possible
-
because all the science and technology
-
is in the hands of us right now,
-
much more than any anytime ever in history.
-
Why can’t we make things happen now?
-
What is our excuse?
-
Why should anybody be
-
uneducated in this planet?
-
Is it because of cost?
-
Cost is gone.
-
Science has made it possible.
-
Technology has made it possible.
-
You don’t have to just come to one classroom.
-
The same class can be taught
-
all over the world.
-
And every single thing can be done.
-
If we do not imagine,
-
it will not be done.
-
If we imagine,
-
someday it will happen!
