It’s really too bad that the wisdom literature of the past has been connected to some really unfortunate thinking and some would keep us pretending that we haven’t learned anything in the past two-thousand years. I want to respect the wisdom of all of these past lives, but don’t limit me to thinking that didn’t understand basic germ theory or DNA or the principles of electricity or quantum mechanics. I won’t make that Either/Or decision. Binary works for the current generation of computing, but the universe is much bigger than that kind of thinking, just ask Schrödinger’s cat.
