Ben Affleck and Matt Damon talk about Ramanujan, in Good Will Hunting (1997) ✍️
Ramanujan lived in a tiny hut in India. No formal education, no access to other works. But he came across an old math book and from this basic text he was able to extrapolate theories that had baffled mathematicians for years. … Ramanujan's genius was unparalleled.
“An increase in the material means at the disposal of humanity may even present dangers unless it is accompanied by a corresponding spiritual effort.”
Philosopher and author Henri Bergson, awarded the 1927 Nobel Prize in Literature, reflected on the moral challenges of progress in his 1928 Nobel Prize banquet speech.
He noted that while the 19th century made tremendous technological advances – from steam to electricity – many assumed these inventions would automatically bring people closer and make society better. Instead, Bergson warned, without a matching effort toward moral and spiritual growth, technology can deepen divisions rather than bridge them.
His message still resonates today: our machines may connect us, but only our humanity can unite us.
