I believe in people's education! Among others,
in many countries around the world, you have no possibility to buy a DVD, the only way to inform yourself is to look on the Internet! For example,
I received message from an Asian teacher who shows these vids to children at school. So dear YouTube Team, if some of my videos will change their status, please just simply remove them! I don't wanna get a strike or account closed. This is my wish, obviously that's the common interest of all viewers! Thank you very much!

A human being is part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. The true value of a human being is determined by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained liberation from the self. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if humanity is to survive.
(Albert Einstein, 1954)

History abundantly shows that people's views of the universe are bound up with their views of themselves and of their society. The debate in cosmology has implications far beyond the realm of science, for it is a question of how truth is known. How these questions are answered will shape not only the history of science, but the history of humanity. (Eric Lerner, 1992)
