The greatest troubles of the civilized world have come from a plethora of knowldege applied without heavenly-guided understanding that agrees with the Will of God.

Seeking knowledge alone (science?) can be a very devilish state bringing human dismay and supernatural demise of a society.

Does Hayek recognize this inescapable consequence?

Many of the early scientists were all Christians.

Stop living in the poison of the neverending-today. Wake the heck up. There is more to life than modernity.

Yeah, questions to keep you busy for a while. Here's a fat article that claims to put Hayek on the bright side.. If Aquinas is right in the teleological determination of physical nature, we wouldn't be too far off to say that rational thought is not independent and has a direction that we cannot attribute to ourselves. IOW, what I am thinking is not entirely mine. It's much easier to say we have it contained.

My explanation is helped by the concept of orientation. We don't know the whole of it, but can point in the right direction. This is how Hayek is helpful, without having to pin him down as a lost soul.
