1. Any law that degrades human personality is unjust. All segregation statutes are unjust because
segregation distorts the soul and damages the personality. It gives the segregator a false sense of
superiority, and the segregated a false sense of inferiority.

2. Virtue is the true happiness in some ways: The virtuous person, is the compassionate person, for
compassion is what brings happiness to the world. Happiness comes when your thoughts, work, and
speech are harmonized and filtered through a spectrum of virtuous behaviors. Freeing the mind of
greed; lies and abusive speech; and avoiding killing, stealing, and sexual misconduct guides us to a happy
life. Happiness requires being true to the principles of your nature (to be a virtuous person) and applying
those principles to others. When this is realized, harmony is achieved. And it is when things are as they
should be, when conflict or friction is minimized-people can flourish. That flourishing is what is meant by
happiness. And the way to that goal was through the practice of four key virtues: sincerity, compassion,
curiosity, and justice.

3. Most colleges consider philosophy a humanities subject rather than a social science. Philosophy
emphasizes foundational questions about reality, human nature, and the relationship between mind and
matter. Philosophy majors use logic and critical theory to address topics such as morality, the external
world, art, and objectivity. Many social science disciplines look to the principles of philosophy to try to
understand human behavior, morality's impact on decision-making, and the development of social
institutions.

4. Through a unique, purposeful and practical educational method we can learn how to rise above the
remaining - moreover constantly growing - gap, disagreement, distrust, rejection between people,
nations, and still connect towards a higher, common goal, purpose. The first such common goal, purpose
is collective problem solving, survival in the globally integrated, independent system we evolved into.
Later we will see that the special unity, peace above remaining, growing differences, distance so give us
a completely new, qualitatively much higher overview, outlook on reality, an unprecedented, vibrant,
dynamic collective consciousness, perception of reality which wouldn't be possible without the contrast,
tension.
