“The world as we have known it is
passing away and the world that is emerging is one that appears to be
fraught with danger.” Miller
“It feels as if I have fallen unexpectedly
into a deeper whirlpool which tumbles me around so that I can neither stand on
the bottom nor swim to the top.”
Descartes

idea. The more knowledgeable we
become, the more we realize the world around us is changing. This in itself is a terrifying notion because
to these two men the world is getting worse, not better. They feel as though they’re drowning in
their own knowledge and self awareness with little to do to help themselves and
those around them.
