All our knowlege brings us near to our ignorance,
All our ignorance brings us nearer to death,
But nearness to death, no nearer to God.
Where is the Life we have lost in living?
Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?
Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?
The cycles of Heaven in twenty centuries
Bring us farther from God and nearer to the Dust.
By TS Eliot in The Rock (1934)

Customer Reviews
Frank, friendly discussions with real depth of content
The first two episodes have been really fascinating. They let their guests speak at length and be very frank.
The first one was from a climate activist with some good discussion of access vs influence and whether activism achieves anything at all.
The newest one is from a Russian Poli scientist who is teaching me a lot about the last year.
