I found both expert lectures to be very interesting. It was quite profound how Aldous Huxley thought we should base our existence on intelligence and good will (charity and good deeds) to make the world a better more EVEN society. Throughout history there has been hierarchy including the present day. The present day hierarchy is measured by our social/financial well-being. Everyone is striving to better ones self with the perception of being better than the next guy/girl. I think if everyone put all their efforts into good deeds trying to erase poverty, violence, genocide, war, and so forth. There is not enough energy or time to achieve such a goal.
Now that we have so much technology the advancement of the human mind has grown astronomically. I think Francis Fukuyama might be right about religion. Adding religion makes it easier to have “Good Will.” The load is lightened up for everyone. As far as I know most religions don’t acknowledge self preservation and advancement. We are all to be united as one to whatever our GOD may be. I think for the world to be a better place we need to grow in our intelligence and through the help of religion perform our good will.
