In this episode, Dr. John Patrick discusses the loss of Transcendent ideals in modern society and its impact on education, science, and ethics. He shares a quote from Michael Polanyi, a Hungarian author and scientist, who warned about the consequences of losing these ideals. Dr. Patrick also talks about his own experience working in Africa and how it showed him the importance of a narrative that everyone believes in. He argues that without Transcendent ideals, technological solutions to moral problems will not work and emphasizes the need for a philosophical depth in education and ethics. This thought-provoking episode challenges listeners to think critically about the current state of society and the values that underpin it.
