“Various epochs of the past have had their own characteristic struggles and interests. Each of these great epochs has left behind it self a kind of cultural deposit, like a geologic stratum… How shall we secure breath of outlook without sacrificing efficiency of execution? How shall we secure the diversity of interests, without paying the price of isolation?” -John Dewey, in 1916
(This very image, this form of media, this example of communication and reflection is an answer to Dewey’s inquiry. Technology taking us back to subject matter and method being the same experience.)
We can learn a lot from these cultural deposits if we choose to. This reminds me of the following quote:
“A generation which ignores history has no past — and no future”.
Robert A. Heinlein, Time Enough for Love (1973)
