More From Holbrook Jackson

Perhaps the prevalence of pedantry may be largely accounted for by the common error of thinking that, because useful knowledge should be remembered, any kind of knowledge that is at all worth learning should be remembered too.
Thinking Errors May
This society in which knowledge workers dominate is in danger of a new "class conflict" between the large minority of knowledge workers and the majority of workers who will make their livings through traditional ways, either by manual work... or by service work. the productivity of knowledge work - still abysmally low - will predictably become the economic challenge of the knowledge society. on it will depend the ability of the knowledge society to give decent incomes, and with them dignity and status, to non knowledge people.

The endless cycle of idea and action, endless invention, endless experiment, brings knowledge of motion, but not of stillness; knowledge of speech, but not of silence; knowledge of words, and ignorance of the word. all our knowledge brings us nearer to our ignorance, all our ignorance brings us nearer to death, but nearness to death no nearer to god. where is the life we have lost in living? where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? where is the knowledge we have lost in information? the cycles of heaven in twenty centuries bring us farther from god and nearer to the dust.
Ignorance Dust Ideas
We should not be content to say that power has a need for such-and-such a discovery, such-and-such a form of knowledge, but we should add that the exercise of power itself creates and causes to emerge new objects of knowledge and accumulates new bodies of information. ... the exercise of power perpetually creates knowledge and, conversely, knowledge constantly induces effects of power. ... it is not possible for power to be exercised without knowledge, it is impossible for knowledge not to engender power.
Exercise Knowledge And Power Discovery
There is no harmony between religion and science. when science was a child, religion sought to strangle it in the cradle. now that science has attained its youth, and superstition is in its dotage, the trembling, palsied wreck says to the athlete: "let us be friends."

In life's last scene what prodigies surprise, fears of the brave, and follies of the wise! from marlborough's eyes the streams of dotage flow, and swift expires a driveller and a show.

We will not go to heaven,goetz, and even if we both entered it, we would not have eyes to see each other, nor hands to touch each other. up there, god gets all the attention.... we can only love on this earth and against god.
