There may be those who through a curiosity or desire of learning, of their own accord, understand the exceeding difficulties inherent with disentangling truth and its adjuncts from pervasive and insidious falsehood. These painful new truths I am adumbrating throughout my philosophy may be conformable to prevailing principles, or may be qualified as discoveries of the highest kind, and of the greatest possible utility to the erudite paucity.
It may feed vain imagination to assume the general public would voraciously cling to new ideas constructed in such a way as to overthrow conventional thinking, to some degree. It would, however, be my hope that the few, the wise, the learned would rapaciously devour my precepts and teachings with the same level of fervor that some people exhibit with regard to love of simplicity. In my way of thinking, pursuit of intellectual simplicity is slothful and representative of an idle mind. And we all know the saying “an idle mind is the devil’s playground.”
Idleness, minimalism, or quick and fierce denunciation of any suggestion of mental exertion is a clear testament to acceptance of the mental condition of someone who, at best, could ever ascend to mediocrity. That being said, let us journey even deeper into the mind.
