from The Paxton Quigley Report · host Adam Gottfried

What if the knowledge we depend on today disappeared tomorrow — not from ignorance, but from overconfidence in digital memory? In Lost in Time: Our Forgotten and Vanishing Knowledge, Jack R. Bialik takes readers on a fascinating journey across centuries of lost civilizations and vanishing wisdom to inspire readers to explore better ways to safeguard knowledge for future generations.Jack R. Bialik's life and career have spanned the globe and the technological spectrum. His worldview was shaped by living in many states at an early age and traveling the world, giving him a unique lens on how different cultures operate. With a background in electrical engineering, his professional journey took him from working for the U.S. Air Force to a long, impactful career at Motorola, and eventually to contributions in White House technology initiatives and humanitarian efforts in Haiti.As a global innovator and thought leader, Bialik now dedicates his time to exploring the cyclical nature of human knowledge — how we gain it, how we lose it, and, most importantly, how we can do better at preserving it for future generations. This shift is at the core of his compelling new book, Lost In Time: Our Forgotten and Vanishing Knowledge. Bialik challenges readers to consider whether we are creating a legacy of accessible wisdom or an archive of forgotten lessons.
