"Master, what you are doing is just wait for a catastrophe that is big enough (say, 100 million lives) to make people interested in a sane organisation of society, a World-Government, is that not so [154?"
"Behold no. I am too busy with living and my study to 'just wait'. What is going to happen does not worry me at all. That is the Tao/Stoic for you. What I have to do, naturally, is to put science on paper, in other words, make it available when required. That is all there is to it. This book and 'The WorldSolution of World-Problems' are no more than availabilities, capacities, (catalysts, ideas), not party-propaganda, indoctrination, advertisement. Nothing more can be asked of a scientist. One cannot, as Epictetus has it, force the solution down their throats. When such a large catastrophe should occur, it is only advantageous for mankind, no cause for grief. Mankind, then can study, learn and act. But ten to one, such a catastrophe will be slightly larger, comprising 5 milliard, i.e. me and you. Yet, I am not worried, and not just waiting." [154]
