"The first and overarching Big Problem is to make the Good Person. We must have better human beings or else it is quite possible that we may all be wiped out. and even if not wiped out. certainly live in tension and anxiety as a species. A sine qua n01l prerequisite here is of course defining the Good Person. and I have made various statements about this throughout these memoranda. I cannot stress enough that we already have some beginning data, some indicators, perhaps as many as were available for the Manhattan Project people. I myself feel confident that the great crash program would be feasible. and I am sure that I could list a hundred, or two hundred, or two thousand part problems or subsidiary problems. Certainly enough to keep a huge number of people busy. This Good Person can equally be called the self-evolving person. the responsible-for-himself-and-his- own-evolution person. the fully illuminated or awakened or perspicuous man. the fully human person. the self-actualizing person. etc. In any case it is quite clear that no social reforms. no beautiful constitutions or beautiful programs or laws will be of any consequence unless people are healthy enough. evolved enough. strong enough. good enough to understand them and to want to put them into practice in the right way.[1].
