The Ascent of Man (1 of 6) Knowledge or Certainty - Jacob Bronowski

I wish to hang myself now, we are stuck with Lady Gaga and what she wore that day. When great minds like this are kept secret; I found out about this by 100% accident.

I too saw this first time around. This, and 'Cosmos' completely changed me as a person and made me want to read more and learn more about everything.

I watched the series on it's first broadcast. It was this particular episode however which totally changed my life and my take on reality. The notion that everything has be looked at, studied or declared is done so within a circle of tolerance is utterly profound. It's what separates science form the dogma and the proferred absolute certainty of religion. A truly great man of prophetic vision and a remarkable communicator.

This is one of the most profound video essays ever made. It's brilliant in its message and powerfully moving. See all parts.

Every time I watch a Science oriented film, I feel the fluff of life being pulled away from my personal filter of life.

@lucadepu He is a holocaust survivor who was imprisoned in one of the Nazi death camps. At the end of this episode, before the credits role, his picture as an old man is shown again. Then they show him as a young man in his Nazi SS picture, wearing a prison uniform and labelled "BOR-GRAJEWICZ_STEFAN # 125558."
