Cave of Forgotten Dreams

"It is like you are creating the phone directory of Manhattan. Four million precise entries, but do they dream? Do they cry at night?" Barely a week goes by in which I don't think of Herzog's two question dismantling of statistical data as a useful tool for understanding…

One of life's greatest gifts is Herzog speaking in "Herzog English" while interviewing people who also barely speak English. You can hear him get excited when they start talking about 30000 year old bear bones. Then this dude just rolls up and plays star spangled banner on…
