Science, Culture and the Modern World
Free To Choose Network is a nonprofit media group with a global reach and a passion for big ideas. The network originally launched with Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman’s groundbreaking 1980 television series “Free to Choose,” and still believes that people—and societies—flourish when free to shape their own lives, pursue personal goals, and make choices that reflect their values. Through smart, accessible storytelling, their programs spark conversations about freedom, responsibility, and what it means to live well.

Biologist Michael Rose and physicist Gregory Benford challenge the divide between science and the humanities, criticizing the latter’s loose thinking. Their provocative take asks whether modern culture has lost touch with the rigor and logic science demands.
