"For you to be free, the mind must be let free to be itself -- not let be itself, but let free to be itself. The man who knows the difference, knows the difference."

Yeah! Hooray for the ability to "know the difference".:)

People will do virtually anything to avoid thinking their thoughts, and the very existence my profession proves it. No other animal needs a "psychologist" to help it find out who it actually is and to manage what it is thinking behind its back! ......For when it comes right down to it, aren't the vast majority of human problems caused by the misuse of imagination? By people imagining things that just aren't so, and then acting on them? It's not just stupidity, but stupidity filtered through imagination, which is a farce multiplier. ...."

When, from a view-of-possibility unknown to them, a whole species is dumb, how can any individually be properly so identified?

The answer of course is that they can't, and that only the doubly dense so involve themselves.

...Oh yeah, this equally applies to an individual, and his judgment of the intelligence of his own thinking.
