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.
