Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?
Where is the knowledge we have lost in information? ~T. S. Eliot, “The Rock” (1934)
Knowledge, we have plenty of, with more on the way every day. Yet our abilities to exercise our judgment seem evermore impaired as we become overwhelmed with information. We have become enthralled – and paralyzed – by the so-called “expertise” of the few and the relativism of the many. . . . Whatever happened to wisdom? ~Eric Weislogel, “Whatever Happened to Wisdom?” The Global Spiral (Metanexus magazine), Spring 2007
