About this episode
We live in an age that is drowning in information and starving for wisdom. Our culture prides itself on its data, its metrics, its endless stream of expert opinions, and yet it cannot answer the most basic questions of life: What is a man? Our civilization has rejected the only possible source of wisdom, and as a result, it has become profoundly and spectacularly stupid. It is a highly educated, technologically advanced, credentialed stupidity, but it is stupidity nonetheless. The world believes wisdom is a commodity that can be manufactured in a university, or downloaded from a podcast, or purchased in a self-help seminar. They treat it as something man generates from within himself. But this is like trying to build a ladder to the moon out of fog. Human wisdom, left to itself, is a closed loop.
