An unheated debate ...

[Homer]

I have spent the last couple of hours listending to the PBS Television fund-raiser presentation of an interview by Bill Moyers with Joseph Campbell ...... In spite of many other "good" things on TV on Sunday Night.

A statement of Mr. Campbell:

If one thinks they knows; he doesn't know,

If onw thinks they do not know; they know.

In another case he quoted Carl Jung:

Religion is a defence against a religious experience.

[Pete Hanlin]

Hmmm, I missed that show...

However, I think its pretty much a regurgitation of what Socrates had to say (something like, "The knowledge I possess is that I know I don't know.").

He took it upon himself to be a "gadfly" that made the ignorance of those around him self-evident... of course we all know what that vocation earned him in the end!
