 In this illuminating conversation, Dr. Juan Carlos Rey of crowscupboard.com explores the paradox of human knowledge: how civilizations accumulate, then discard, their greatest insights. Author Jack R. Bialik examines the patterns of erasure in his new book, "Lost In Time" - from ancient cataract surgery to the fragility of our digital archives - and posits that forgetting may be as essential as remembering. With over 30 years in technology and biblical studies, Bialik bridges the empirical and the esoteric, asking whether the next frontier of wisdom lies not in new discovery but in re-remembering what we once lost. Join us as we traverse the margins of memory and ask: If knowledge disappears fast enough, does it still matter? This interview invites you to reconsider what it means to remember - individually, collectively, and globally.  

Keywords: collective memory, civilizational forgetting, digital impermanence, knowledge vs wisdom, Jack R. Bialik interview, human archives, Dr. Juan Carlos Rey, The Observable Unknown, science & spirituality, historiography of science.
