on wednesday i heard the eighth of this 10 part series on the radio, an interview with Wendell Berry speaking about agriculture. i really enjoyed the talk so i'd like to pass it along. to me it's a confirmation that wisdom is beginning to flow into the mainstream of agribusiness. the podcast can be found at the link below.
"Wendell Berry is known to the reading public mainly for his poems, essays and novels, not his commentaries on science. But in the year 2,000 he published a surprising book called Life Is A Miracle: An Essay Against Modern Superstition. The superstition the book denounces is the belief that science will one day give us a complete account of things. Science is admirable, Wendell Berry says, but it can only be deployed wisely when we recognize the limits to our knowledge. Science must submit to the judgement of Nature. In this episode, Wendell Berry unfolds this philosophy to IDEAS producer David Cayley."

"The Tao is basically utterly open. Utter openeness has no substance. It ends in endlessness, begins in beginninglessnes".
