Clifford Stoll: The call to learn - YouTube

Uploaded on Mar 27, 2008

 

http://www.ted.com Clifford Stoll could talk about the atmosphere of Jupiter. Or hunting KGB hackers. Or Klein bottles, computers in classrooms, the future. But he's not going to. Which is fine, because it would be criminal to confine a man with interests as multifarious as Stoll's to give a talk on any one topic. Instead, he simply captivates his audience with a wildly energetic sprinkling of anecdotes, observations, asides -- and even a science experiment. After all, by his own definition, he's a scientist: "Once I do something, I want to do something else."

All truth is one.
In this light, may science and religion endeavor together for the steady evolution of Mankind:
From darkness to light,
From narrowness to broadmindedness,
From prejudice to tolerance,
It is the voice of life that calls us
To come and learn.

Quoted by Cliff Stoll at the Embedded Systems Conference 2000. He discovered it on a bell as Cliff hid in a University of Buffalo clock tower to escape police during a violent Vietnam War protest. Cliff was not protesting, yet had been attacked and chased by police simply for being a student in the wrong place at the wrong time.
