not just random

Here’s Clifford Stoll’s talk at TED.

I especially enjoyed the ending - the anecdote in the last three minutes. Here is his quote from the very end, which I found particularly noteworthy:

All truth is one
In this light
May science and religion
Endeavor here for the steady evolution of mankind
From darkness to light
From narrowness to broadmindedness
From prejudice to tolerance
It is the voice of life
Which calls us
To come and learn.

The fact that he is teaching high school science classes is inspiring. He would be one energetic teacher, able to instill excitement into the minds of his students.
