On Higher Education: At jet speed we will mount a whole series of conferences around the world, which will represent a continual learning process at a higher level. The future of conferences is related somewhat to jets.

On TV in Education: You cannot communicate our curriculum or our criticism through television. That problem did not arise with the movie period when prohibition was the big bugaboo.

And attention spans being very much shattered.

On Education: The classroom is becoming obsolete. The education thing is completely up for grabs. Compulsory education will disappear. It’s meaningless. Why should people be compelled to become educated? The right-hemisphere kid, who is a classroom problem, tends to know more about the media than his teachers.

Literacy came on the workman level before it came at the reading level.
