Quotes from Episode 645

In your 40s, you shift from heroic thinking into the second half of your life, which is defined by meaning and wonder. - @JonTyson Click To Tweet Everyone's got shallow connections, but all that's doing is producing. It's making us knowledgeable but not wise, connected but lonely. - @JonTyson Click To Tweet There's a tension in forgetting the past out of a desire to be relevant. We are so afraid to get stuck in the past. - @JonTyson Click To Tweet Sin in secularism is not any particular moral violation. It's not the breaking of rules as such. It is the construction of an identity without any reference point toward God. - @JonTyson Click To Tweet
