COVID Words - Control

from The Prosperos Podcast · host William Fennie

This chat looks into the many ways we view and practice (or try to) control. Interestingly, the technology let us know that whatever illusions we had about being in charge were infantile. Bad connections were only the beginning. The good news is that we practiced discipline, as prescribed herein, and ended up with a recording that’s as good as any we’ve done. William quoted Frank Herbert and got it wrong. The correct quote is : “Seek freedom and become captive of your desires. Seek discipline and find your liberty.” Al has a great quote from Stephen Mitchell’s excellent interpretation of the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tsu
