"When I spoke [152] of these people who emphasise on the World problems without mentioning the World-Solution, Master, I rather meant these so-called scientists. When they mention only one of the million mini-causes that are added to the main-cause, and let the main-cause alone, are they then, scientists?"
"Spencer said that every cause has more than one effect, and every effect is a cause (Essay, Progress). Scientists, now, do not like that. They can only work with one cause/one effect, otherwise: force during time, upon a mass equals accelleration, etc. become unworkable. But what do you consider the 'Main-Cause' to be?"
"Naturally, too many people, all of them too much of a crank."
"Ah, but is not that CAUSED by general stupidity, starting
from pre-Neanderthal, or, to speak in Ontogenesis, the very baby
in the cradle?" [152]
