Episode 275: Nullius In Verba

For reasons I hope to make clear soon, advertising is not foremost on my mind right now. I made a realization that a great change will quite possibly befall us, and… I have no idea when. To understand my thinking on this, though, I feel it's necessary to give some background. Hence, some background in this Episode 275: Nullius In Verba.

In this episode, I read from: William Rosen's book The Most Important Idea in the World: A Story of Steam, Industry, and Invention. Expect more from that book as I finish in broad strokes his theory of invention and its importance to the Industrial Revolution.

Musically, I play: just a snippet from one of my favorite ditties from Monty Python's Flying Circus, listed as "Bruce's Philosophers Song". Since I didn't have anything invention related in terms of an opening, Mark Blyth just repeats the words shit and crap a lot backed by KMFDM; and Julie & Rolf & The Campfire Gang sing us out with "Over the Rainbow."
