The speaker discusses a course that focuses on technology and technology is the opposite of science. The course is a combination of rooting in the Arabic language and learning about the past. There is a risk of losing information if there are similar incidents, but the course aims to improve science and technology rather than just discovering new things.

			Of course, the one that happened
earlier, we root ourselves in the

00:00:03 --> 00:00:06

			past because this is a religion of
transmission. This is not science

00:00:06 --> 00:00:09

			and being up to date with
technology, scholars of the past,

00:00:09 --> 00:00:12

			they were more pious than us. They
knew the Arabic language better

00:00:12 --> 00:00:15

			than us, the tradition was shorter
to them. generations were shorter

00:00:15 --> 00:00:19

			chances of things being lost or
misunderstood less dad is where we

00:00:19 --> 00:00:22

			learn our religion from technology
is the opposite technology, you're

00:00:22 --> 00:00:25

			always trying to push the envelope
and discover something different,

00:00:25 --> 00:00:28

			always trying to improve. So you
want innovation in science and

00:00:28 --> 00:00:32

			tech. It transmitted knowledge.
The proof is how far back you can

00:00:32 --> 00:00:37

			go. So if I if there's an incident
that happened, let's say in 1905,

00:00:37 --> 00:00:43

			and you have a newspaper reporting
on the incident from 1906, but I

00:00:43 --> 00:00:48

			have a newspaper reporting on the
incident from 1905. The same year

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50

			that it happened, Well, which one
is going to be more authoritative?

00:00:50 --> 00:00:52

			Let's say All else equal.
