Summary

What you don't know won't hurt you . . . maybe. But it could change your mind about things you believe to be true. We all know this, of course, but do we really keep it in mind when we think about what we really know? And what does our tendency to exclude the unknown from our calculations say about our reduced capacity for wonder, our growing hubris, and, ultimately, the loss of our humanity? Find out in this seemingly simple but surprisingly deep "lost" episode of The Corbett Report.

0:00.0	Welcome back to the corporate report podcast. I am James Corbett of
0:06.0	Corbett.com and this week on the podcast I have a rare and weird treat for you. You are about to see a visibly younger James
0:17.9	Corbett introduce you to episode 317 of the podcast Unknown Unowns.
0:25.0	But you're going to think to yourself being a good corporate report here
0:29.0	and knowing the corporate report hymn book off by heart.
0:31.0	What are you talking about, James?
0:33.4	Epheson 317 was the truth about Glass-Steagall, not this unknown unknowns, and I will
0:40.0	rejoin that yes you are technically correct but and the but stems from what I was
0:47.3	just talking about on the most recent flashback episode of the podcast if you haven't caught that yet, I suggest you do. I think it's an important
0:55.0	flashback to Meet Smedley Butler, episode one two three of the corporate report, released in 2010.
1:00.0	And as I noted in the introduction to that flashback episode, I did note that that was one of those episodes that I put out there,
1:07.5	by the time I finished it and put it together, I thought, I'm not sure, I don't think I said this the right way I don't know if people
1:14.2	are going to resonate with it and I put it out there and boy did people
1:18.1	resonate with it and I got a lot of good feedback about that so I shared that

1:46.7	I'm not sure this is the right way to introduce this idea I'm not sure people are going to get it I'm not
1:51.1	sure I said it the right way I don't think I'm going to put this one out. So I think, correct me if I'm wrong, I think for the first and only time, I had a podcast episode completely done and never released it.
2:05.0	But in the spirit of that Meats Medley Butler episode,
2:09.0	that similarly I was thinking,
2:11.0	should I release it?
2:12.0	Okay, I'll release it, and it turned out to really
