What is wisdom? - Mar 31,2013

I will talk about how technology is giving us increasing control over everything, but we cannot handle it because we have been accustomed to living in a world in which we have no control. When you suddenly use technology that gives you the illusion (not the reality) of total control over yourself, your relationships, and over the world, what happens? I will argue that it leads to despair, depression, and the loss of the ability to enjoy life. I will talk about how a healthy person has perfect control over his or her thoughts, emotions, and body, some control over relationships, and no control over the entire world. An unhealthy person has no control over his thoughts, emotions, and body.
