Great references! Thank you for commenting. I dislike the figure of speech "A lot to unpack," but the Catt dialog on "the glitch" and electric current has a lot going on and I found it well worth the listen. In interview 2/2 on electric current the "Demystifying Science" pair strangely fall into the orthodoxy of wanting to block and control dialog in order to manage the apparent controversy illuminated by Catt's perspective. They fight back even as they clearly express curiosity about, and sympathy with\ Catt's views and laments. I came away noting there's a profound natural block in the discourse of science towards a commonsense which is obviously insufficient to accommodate the world as we now find it. It so happens that N. Chomsky gives a lucid presentation on the history of science that pertains directly to Ivor Catt's laments on blocking of science by an engineering orthodoxy. Chomsky - Mind, Language and the Limits of Thought https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NffP06zqkw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NffP06zqkw The talk begins with a proposal for 3 problems — "Plato's, Orwell's and Descartes'" — supported by a review of modern scientific thought, then segues into a supporting illustration of modern effects of these problems in the orthodoxy of NATO policy in Serbia. It's the tightest package of criticism of contemporary thought I've come across and will not be a waste of time for viewers at any level of interest and familiarity with the history of thought. There are two versions of this presentation on Youtube made to different audiences on different dates. I prefer the clarity of this one.
