About this episode
We live in an age that is drowning in information and starving for wisdom. We have an entire class of professional experts, our modern magicians and wise men, who populate the halls of government, academia, and the twenty-four-hour news cycle. They have their charts, their models, their algorithms, and their five-point plans. The Federal Reserve cannot predict inflation, the political pollsters cannot predict elections, and the meteorologists have trouble with next Tuesday's weather. And yet, they speak with an air of settled authority, as though the world were a machine they understood and could fine-tune with their policy levers. This is the ancient pride of man, the folly of Babylon and Egypt, dressed up in a lab coat and a business suit. The world believes that power, knowledge, and salvation are found in the corridors of human institutions.
