is very different in Jewish script than the modern view, and many
religious terms concern debt and escape from it. I agree to some
extent with Molly that we seem born into some wider knowledge system
and the idea of knowledge as an entity is an interesting tack. I
don't go with the story of the fall though - but if we think about my
grandson, I'm sort of wanting his fall into knowledge and self-
reliance.
The terms always get tricky - for who is more self-reliant in this
world - the skilled man unemployed or the banker who causes that?
