I have lived in the pursuit of a vision, both personal and social. Personal: to care for what is noble, for what is beautiful, for what is gentle; to allow moments of insight to give wisdom at more mundane times. Social: to see in imagination the society that is to be created, where individuals grow freely, and where hate and greed and envy die because there is nothing to nourish them. These things I believe, and the world, for all its horrors, has left me unshaken.-Bertrand Russell, 1952, age 80. Religion is little more than superstition and, despite any positive effects that religion might have, it is largely harmful to people. I believe that religion and the religious outlook serve to impede knowledge and foster fear and dependency, and are responsible for much of our worlds wars, oppression, and misery.- Bertrand Russell. Bertrand Russell argued for a scientific society, where war would be abolished, population growth limited, and prosperity shared. He suggested the establishment of a single supreme world government able to enforce peace, claiming that the only thing that will redeem mankind is co-operation Wesley Uwimana The man is visionary, and this was way before the invention of p-pill, forward today, the Scandinavians countries live on this model, It should in my view be spread to the whole world.
