are many different areas which are taught, such as alien cultures, histories, manufacturing processes, different sciences. D: Is educationcompulsory? Hereitis mpulsorythata child attendschool from a certain age onward. P: Thisis a totally alien concept because everyone naturally wishes to learn. That is their personal evolution. It does not need to be a mandatory situation. Everyone wishes to learn because that is the growth, as surely as physical growth. Education is eagerly asked for and given. Because ofa different outlook on education; education here on Earth is not looked at equally. D: And ifsomeone doesn't wish to learnthey don't have to? P_ No, this is not a compulsory situation. An equivalent here on Earth might be a choice to become a cast out of society or one who cannot relate to other people. This is strictly an analogy, in that everyone wants to have friends and be respected and liked. This is an inherent natural drive on this planet, and on that planet itis the same situation. There are those who, through no fault of their own, have defective minds; or you might say, are retarded. And the drive is not evident in these unfortunate people, which is, asI said, no fault of their own. Itis simply that it is that way. D: Are these people allowed tofunction in normal life or arethey confined anywherer... P: This is dependent somewhat on the level or the severity of their dysfunction. Those who can find a niche in society are encour- aged to. Those who are unfortunately not even able to do this, are sheltered and cared for. This is something which has been worked on for many, many years. Many thousands of years to elevate the race through selective breeding, to rid the population of these unfortunate specimens. D: So this is not aplanetofperfectpeople. Do you have the equivalent of policemen? Anyone to enforce laws? P: No, there is no equivalent because everyone is self-enforcing. There isno need for armies or police. A military or law-enforce- ment atmosphere is simply not necessary when everyone is self- policing. D: Then you have noproblem with negativetypes ofpeople? P: There occasionally are inferior people and there are occasionally times where someone who is functioning quite well will become-not necessarily non-functioning, but ill-functioning. _ The Social Stucture ofthe Alien Planet 37
