"This, " said the Master, "is what Spencer showed as the genesis of stupidity, Stupidogenesis (Essay, Educ. first sentence), but spoken by Chuangtse: 'those people who regard as good whatever the world acclaims as good, and regard as right whatever the world acclaims as right.'...' They know how to give a good speech and tell appropriate anecdotes in order to attract the crowd, but from the very beginning to the very end, they do not know what it is all about. They put on the proper garb and dress in the proper colours and put on decorous appearance in order to make themselves popular, but refuse to admit that they are hypocrites. They mingle with the crowd, and declare themselves in agreement with what the public likes and dislikes, at the same time claiming that they are better than the common men'. (Lin Yutang, Wisdom, 129.) What now, is the main secret? It is that it all goes for ALL members of the crowd, it all is decor over the useful, hence their very cohesion."
