The road to hell is actually paved with the skulls of the priests! (The skulls of the bishops are the lampposts which light the way). Maybe fun to touch on that in the next one. Missed you buddy great to listen to this one today! Hope the travels have been fruitful.
Finally! You can stick the WAWTAR name around some kinda branding. I love that name but Heavy Things Lightly makes more sense as the head name. I'm a chemical engineer... a few many miles away from a quantum physicist, but we overlap a bit. One of my wife's favorite professors (tremendous man who I never had the pleasure to meet--Dr. Phu Tran from Norco College, God rest his soul) worked at Cern, and one of my favorite old physics professors built a "Gamma Ray Telescope," so I've had the joy of interacting with some of these brilliant folks all the while wondering... why does this stuff matter? In the case of the Gamma Ray Telescope, that professor happened to discover nuclear-powered retired Soviet satellites that the CIA DIDN'T know about. The call, we imagine went something like this: Prof: "Hey CIA, I just discovered some satellites that are emitting gamma radiation above Australia." CIA: "Oh, yeah we know about those." Prof: "These ones? Are you sure?" CIA: "...Oh, THESE ONES? Uhhh I'll call you back." Or so goes the community college folk lore. Being around these folks, I can't help but think that this line of inquiry and work is important, but... maybe it just lacks communion.
Very good episode... however I still think that the phrase is ambiguous. The idiot scientists do believe they're making the world a better place. We as Christians can say we know their hearts better than them, but from their perspective they have all the best intentions.
You should reach out to Joseph P. Farrell the Oxford trained Patristics scholar turned researcher who connects the dots between writings of the church fathers and esoteric science.
One of the best podcasts out there

Another old saying: “Curiosity killed the cat”.
Looking tan John
"What are you guys looking for?"
"We don't know, but we need a trillion dollars to find it."
John isn't an "ortho-bro"
He's something more like an "ortho-uncle"
I have spent all of my life worshipping the god of just learn stuff, it has been fun but it is getting kinda old.

But it's not the good intentions that pave the way but lack of wisdom. It seems the phrase itself was coined in a lack of wisdom.
@@hobojoe704 I'm sorry, buddy, I don't seem to understand your point... could you elaborate?
