    One last question: Suppose Lord Russell this film were to be looked at by our descendants,
  • 00:00:06
    like a Dead Sea scroll in a thousand years  time, what would you think it's worth telling
  • 00:00:11
    that generation about the life you've lived and   the lessons you've learned from it? Russell: I should like
  • 00:00:18
    to say two things, one intellectual and one   moral: The intellectual thing, I should want
  • 00:00:26
    to say to them, is this: When you are studying   any matter, or considering any philosophy, ask
  • 00:00:37
    yourself only: "What are the facts, and what is the   truth that the facts bear out?" Never let yourself
  • 00:00:46
    be diverted, either by what you wish to believe,   or by what you think could have beneficial
  • 00:00:54
    social effects, if it were believed. But look   only and solely at: "What are the facts?" That
  • 00:01:03
    is the intellectual thing that I should wish to   say. The moral thing I should wish to say to them
  • 00:01:09
    is very simple. I should say: Love is wise, hatred   is foolish. In this world, which is getting more
  • 00:01:21
    and more closely interconnected, we have to learn   to tolerate each other. We have to learn to put up
  • 00:01:31
    with the fact, that some people say things that   we don't like. We can only live together in that
  • 00:01:41
    way. And if we are to live together and not die   together, we must learn a kind of charity and
  • 00:01:48
    a kind of tolerance, which is absolutely vital to   the continuation of human life on this planet.
