       You belong to the austere generation of humanists who still
       insist on wanting to understand the world around them.  This
       demand has become absurd.  Leave everything to habit and your
       discomfort will disappear. Consider do you think you know how
       the telephone and television work. and yet you use them
       everday.  And with the exception of a few learned men how many
       know how their hearts and kidneys work?
