DHP Special: A Cowboy in the Jungle Looks at 43/”Knowledge is Power”

by | Sep 18, 2024

Yesterday CJ turned 43. Unfortunately, he was sick on his birthday (and still is today), but he decided to look into the vault of vintage DHP episodes to see what DHP Ep. 43 was, and lo & behold, it was a Fun-Size Silver Bullet episode from 2014 that’s quite evergreen & may be even more relevant today than ever, so he decided to reissue it on the podcast feed along with a new intro & some important announcements

“Knowledge is power”: There’s more depth to the old cliche than there might appear at first glance.

Join  CJ as he discusses:

  • Some of the earliest known usages of this phrase in print
  • Some examples from history from ancient to modern of this principle in practice, including the more ‘culty’ religious organizations, laws against slaves learning to read, the connection between literacy & slave uprisings, and the modern US government’s love of keeping its own actions secret while spying on everything you do

Empower yourself by pursuing knowledge!
