Science in the world school systems does not differ in
            substance. It is only studied at different levels.

            No one can change the fact that 2 + 2 = 4. What is

            different is that in some countries this is taught in the first

            grade, in others in the second, etc. The natural sciences
            are exact and leave no space for demagogy. Social

            sciences, on the other hand, differ in their approach and

            substance, depending on the country. For some countries
            black is white and vice versa. In the future, the textbooks

            will be the same worldwide. They will be written by the
            best professors and will have to be socially approved. The

            World Assembly, through its educational institutions, will
            confirm the quality of these textbooks and approve their

            use.

            History is very different in many countries. As it is written

            by the victors, it can be vague and create frustrations and

            anxieties. Basically, history creates discord and
            intolerance. I may be wrong, I do not know, but I think

            history is not important. What is important is the future.

            It does not matter and you do not remember what you ate

            last Friday, but it is important what you are going to have
            today.
