I have no time for the pursuit of happiness. I never heard of it until I was in my mid-50s, shortly before I left America.

We already have as much freedom as we need. There will never be equality, as people are not born equal. Some are better gifted genetically than others, and some are born in the middle of the Amazon rain forests or the African jungles.

My prime concerns are safety, the advancement of civilization, and the prevention of human extinction.
