Great lecture! I've been a subscriber of "Sharpbrains" for 2 years. Nonetheless, It amazes me that as our level of technological, sociological, and cerebral complexity increases, so does our ability and need to discover and validate that which we already knew at one time - yet FORGOT! Technology speeds "us" up, yet dulls our contemplative fortitude. We are more "connected", yet we are "superficially/autonomously" relating toward each other. It's true: "At "heights" we must look "downward".
