Before the light bulb. Before the telephone. Before the automobile — three giants from three different centuries saw exactly what's happening in today's workforce and said so clearly, publicly, on the record. John Ruskin in 1860. Louis Brandeis in 1912. Dallas Willard in the twentieth century. Three disciplines, one pattern, one question that keeps getting answered wrong. This episode is the historical context for everything that follows — and a warning that what Gallup is now measuring shouldn't surprise anyone who's been paying attention.
