<strong>Syn<strong>the</strong>tic</strong> <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Intelligence</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Transmutation</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Humankind</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> near future when money, politics, self- <strong>and</strong> national-interest have been<br />

phased out.” To solve <strong>the</strong> problems, “we must declare Earth <strong>and</strong> all <strong>of</strong> its<br />

resources <strong>the</strong> common heritage <strong>of</strong> all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> world’s people,” it concludes,<br />

echoing <strong>the</strong> terminology <strong>of</strong> internationalists <strong>the</strong> world over, especially those<br />

at <strong>the</strong> United Nations, about how to redistribute <strong>the</strong> world’s wealth in areas<br />

such as <strong>the</strong> law <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sea, outer space law, environmental law, human<br />

hinting at a totalitarian society on a global level (again, my emphasis in<br />

italics. Fresco’s statements here are quite stunning <strong>and</strong> remarkable).<br />

At his lecture in Sweden, in response to a question from this correspondent<br />

about what would guide production in <strong>the</strong> absence <strong>of</strong> prices, Fresco said it<br />

again, referring to <strong>the</strong> act <strong>of</strong> thinking as a privilege. “If you give everybody<br />

a right to <strong>the</strong>ir own opinion, you damage society,” he claimed. In <strong>the</strong><br />

interview with The New American, he emphasized <strong>the</strong> point yet again.<br />

“Giving everybody a right to <strong>the</strong>ir own opinion is dangerous,” he said,<br />
