The Theology Pugcast | Knowledge Is Power—But Is That All? : The Theology Pugcast Episode 210 @TheTheologyPugcast | Uploaded December 2022 | Updated October 2024, 36 minutes ago.
Today Chris responds to the truism attributed to Francis Bacon, "Knowledge is power." The question he raises is, "If that is all there is to it, what does that imply--that forms of knowledge that don't lead to power are worthless, do they fail the test of knowledge then?" Chris warns, this is the road to totalitarianism. It isn't a fast road, necessarily--but it certainly gets you there eventually. Tune in to see what the Pugsters have to say about why the old truism isn't entirely true.
