Tao Stoic 128

"Master, those pseudologists!"

"What is it Ven?"

"I heard them speak at the university. Apparently they had a research program investigating 'Jealousy'. They uttered the most absurd pieces of nonsense."

"Indeed, I can imagine that. How can they study a Mindscientific subject without a shred of Mind-scientific knowledge? Do they know of the very basic and ONLY drive behind Mind, ideation, behind ALL ideas and ALL ideation?"

"No Master, they haven't the foggiest idea of that. They proceed to ask questions like: 'What would you do when somebody started a relation with your friend?' (Friend, then, is another word for copulatory mate, and relation means copulation). They do not even grasp what bearing the-, an-, any-, answer has on Reality."

"Certainly, knowledge should not only explain, but enable one to predict. Try the 'million experiment' on them, and they will see their failure, although they will not understand it. Their so-called science is but playing scientists, tavern science, is barber-shop talk, not science."
