If you speak French fluently and live in France then you are happy that your language skills are perfect and nothing more is needed. It is the same with our human thinking.
We are happy that we have made considerable progress in the technical world. We have made very little progress in the world of human affairs. We blame that on human emotions and human behaviour.
In fact human emotions and human behaviour can be greatly changed through the direct teaching of thinking: not logical thinking but perceptual thinking. In one mine, fights between the tribes working there were reduced from 210 a month to just four through the direct teaching of my thinking methods to totally illiterate miners.
