Krishnamurti on Technology

‘The brain has put man on the moon, it has invented terrible things that kill, and also technology has given man great comfort, hygiene and communication. But the brain is limited because, at present, it is incapable of going inward.’ This week’s episode on Technology has four sections. The first extract (2:49) is from Krishnamurti’s first talk at Brockwood Park in 1982, titled: Technology Is Invading Our Consciousness. The second extract (12:55) is from the first talk in Ojai 1981, titled: Is the Crisis One of Technology or Is It in Ourselves? The third extract (37:32) is from the first talk in Madras 1982, titled: Can the Brain Go in a Direction Other Than Technological? The final extract in this episode (1:04:45) is from the seventh talk in Saanen 1978, titled: Technology Stems From Measurement. Each episode of the Krishnamurti podcast is compiled from carefully chosen extracts from the archives, representing Krishnamurti’s different approaches to many of the fundamental issues and questions we all face in our lives. This week’s theme is Technology. Upcoming themes are Insecurity, Selfishness and The Brain.
