<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 3050961, member: 74968&quot;]I believe it is the height of hubris to believe that we know anything at all. Socrates reportedly said &quot;The only thing I know is that I know nothing&quot;. There are those who think the world is knowable, and there are others who realize that it is not. In front of the class I have to constantly remind students that because something is newer does not mean that it is better. Because people were born 2000 years ago does not mean that they were less intelligent that anyone today, and being&nbsp; born recently does certainly not make people today more intelligent than those of 2000 years ago. There has been much valuable ancient knowledge lost in the last few thousand years but many of us are so convinced of our own brilliance that we refuse to heed the lessons of the past and of those who lived then. Another recommended read would be &quot;Hidden Connections&quot; by Fritzof Capra.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
