Future Society Quotes

• El descubrimiento más notable realizado por los científicos es la propia ciencia. Su importancia debe compararse con la invención de la pintura rupestre y de la escritura. Al igual que estas primeras creaciones humanas, la ciencia es un intento de controlar nuestro entorno adentrándonos en él y comprendiéndolo desde dentro. Y como ellas, la ciencia ha dado sin duda un paso decisivo en el desarrollo humano que no tiene marcha atrás. No podemos concebir una sociedad futura sin ciencia.

  Jacob Bronowski

• Today is the parent of tomorrow. The present casts its shadow far into the future. That is the law of life, individual and social. Revolution that divests itself of ethical values thereby lays the foundation of injustice, deceit, and oppression for the future society. The means used to prepare the future become its cornerstone.

• At one time in the mid-'70s I became the president of the Boston-Cambridge chapter of the World Future Society. Because I'd been in my studio by myself since 1968 on up. And the thing is that my social life consisted of being involved in organizations like that. I would get people to come and speak, and speak myself and that kind of stuff.

• I have nothing from my childhood. I think you carry those books with you. It's like in [Ray] Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451." Books are outlawed in this future society so people become the book they love by memorizing it.

• We need to organize ourselves and protest against existing order - against war, against economic and sexual exploitation, against racism, etc. But to organize ourselves in such a way that means correspond to the ends, and to organize ourselves in such a way as to create kind of human relationship that should exist in future society. That would mean to organize ourselves without centralize authority, without charismatic leader, in a way that represents in miniature the ideal of the future egalitarian society.

  Howard Zinn

• We cannot create blueprint for future society, but it is good to think about that. It is good to have in mind a goal. It is constructive, it is helpful, it is healthy, to think about what future society might be like, because then it guides you somewhat what you are doing today, but only so long as this discussions about future society don't become obstacles to working towards this future society. Otherwise you can spend discussing this utopian possibility versus that utopian possibility, and in the mean time you are not acting in a way that would bring you closer to that.

  Howard Zinn

• If future society assumes the contours foretold by Marxism, if the jungle of our cities turns to the polis of man and the dreams of anger are made real, the representative art will be high comedy. Art will be the laughter of intelligence, as it is in Plato, in Mozart, in Stendhal.

• Si los fabricantes están tan seguros de que no hay nada malo en los alimentos modificados genéticamente, los pesticidas y las carnes clonadas, no deberían tener problemas en etiquetarlos como tales. Después de todo, el cáncer matará a uno de cada dos hombres y a una de cada tres mujeres que viven actualmente, informa Samuel Epstein, presidente de la Coalición para la Prevención del Cáncer. Al igual que nuestros antepasados, actuamos de formas que desconcertarán a las sociedades futuras. El complejo militar-industrial lubrica el sistema de agricultura de masas con combustibles fósiles. Toneladas de metales pesados y otros residuos peligrosos, incluso radiactivos, se pulverizan sobre el suelo agrícola estadounidense.
