Power of Knowledge
Knowledge will forever govern ignorance and people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which
knowledge gives – James Madison

GALLOPING KNOWLEDGE
• By the time the child born today graduates from college, the amount of knowledge will be four times as great
• By the time he is 50, it will be 32 times as great
• And 97% of everything known in the world will have been learnt since that child was born
• The memorising of reams of facts will not be necessary; they will be quickly available on computers.
• But future man will need great wisdom if only to know what is it he wants
So: Continuous learning and contemplation
