Eisenhower quotes Eric Hoffer in a response to Mr Biggs, a terminally ill veteran's letter to Ike. Even in ademocracy too many people tend to want not to have to think about tremedously complex and difficult questions. And not just ordinary people, even Congressmen and politicians. Healthy skepticism is often missing, and few people wish to look at the difficult questions and problems in any detail and think for themselves, preferring to trust a higher authority.

Dwight Eisenhower, Quiet Radical
Wall Street Journal 03/05/2012
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
