Quote from Tumblr

I mean…trying to find ways to translate the knowledge, to teach us to ask the right questions…see, we’re on the edge of a revolution in communications technology that’s going to make that more possible than ever before. Or, if that’s not done, to cause an explosion of knowledge that will leave those of us who don’t have access to it as powerless as if we were deaf, dumb and blind. I don’t think most people want that. So what do we do about it? I don’t know. But maybe a good start would be to recognize within yourself the ability to understand anything. Because that ability is there, as long as it’s explained clearly enough. And then go and ask for explanations. And if you’re thinking right now, ‘What do I ask for?’, ask yourself if there’s anything in your life that you want changed.
