      I wanna live in the day when we believed the universe did laps around the earth. For one to assume knowledge inevitably brings one closer to their god or a general better outlook on life is sadly mistaken.

      Isaacson take of the century is narrowly Western-based with the civil rights/technology recognition. I don't think we have made larger/noticable leaps of such compared to other centuries.

      I like the way Rose gets WMB to reveal.

      Interesting Kissenger observation of the changes of self-observation.
