principles of Soviet Communism was optimism, so it’s a form of social control by the way that has been widespread in totalitarian types of societies. But I think it has worked very well in America. Take the issue of class inequality. How could that be a problem if anyone can become rich by thinking about it?32

      When I discuss our amazing human ability to arrive at “accurate answers” for the causes of our problems, I have met people who say, “All truth is relative.

I was very early told by some one that “God up in the sky” had made all things, and had made black people to be slaves and white people to be masters … I could not tell how anybody could know that God made black people to be slaves. Then I found, too, that there were puzzling exceptions to this theory of slavery, in the fact that all black people were not slaves, and all white people were not masters …
