The Pyramids, grand palaces, cathedrals, Stonehenge, and even the world’s biggest ball of yarn… we are privileged to witness acts of greatness at will in today’s media-heavy world. We wonder at the accomplishments of our ancestors, given such drastic limitations, while readily accepting mediocrity in our own endeavors.
With skills, powers, and resources our predecessors could never have dreamed of, we nevertheless embrace a culture of mere adequacy in the face of great possibility. But, what drives us to fail to achieve our highest goals? What arguments stop us from striving to build a better world, and how do we argue in favor of the bigger actions?
In this episode, we will explore the creation of past great works, and put forth a position in favor of their creation for a new millennium!
