“We have become so advanced that almost all of our problems are the result of broken relationships with knowledge, rather than ignorance. We know and believe a great deal that is blatantly wrong and absurd, and instead of questioning these beliefs, we arm them against ourselves and the living world. The people and organizations I encounter do not so much require training — they desperately need peculiar forms of highly specific amnesia. A kind of knowledge surgery capable of excising those ideas that mimic elegance and efficacy while actually delivering slavery.”
