How then is perfection to be sought? Wherein lies our hope? In education, and in nothing else. - Immanuel Kant

It is certainly a bad sign of common sense to appeal to it as a witness.

For peace to reign on Earth, humans must evolve into new beings who have learned to see the whole first.

Nature does nothing in vain, and in the use of means to her goals she is not prodigal. Her giving to man reason and the freedom of the will which depends upon it is clear indication of her purpose. Man accordingly was not to be guided by instinct, not nurtured and instructed with ready-made knowledge; rather, he should bring forth everything out of his own resources.
