Season 1: Episode 4 - Eduard Lindeman: Freedom + the combination of old ideas
"The meaning of adult education" by Eduard C. Lindeman (1926) (http://bit.ly/2XkHl62)
"We do not discard old patterns of behavior in favor of new: we combine old ones with the result that new patterns emerge. Thus inventions on the physical or mechanical level are always recombinations of existing elements. And we now know by better means than mere analogy that the process of intellectual integration is similar. Freedom is an achievement, not a gift. We do not acquire freedom — we grow into freedom" (p. 70).
