Power without Wisdom.
“Science has been victorious over the prejudices that opposed its progress, because it has conferred power, and especially power in war.
For such reasons, there is now little active opposition to scientific technique and scientific methods of investigation.
But power without wisdom is dangerous, and what our age needs is wisdom even more than knowledge.
Given wisdom, the power conferred by science can give a new degree of well-being to all mankind; without wisdom, it can bring only destruction.“
– Bertrand Russell, Nature and Origin of the Scientific Method.
(BBC broadcast ,1948)
