"What we are doing here, " said the Master, "is best described by Wyndham in his book 'Web'.
'The ideal start would consist of a clean slate inscribed with just two words- Knowledge and Reason. Unfortunately that is a long way from being practicable. The best that can be done is to provide a place where there is freedom to question the axioms, the prejudices, traditions, loyalties and all those attitudes implanted in us before we could think, which together make us citizens of the world as it is, instead of becoming citizens of the world as it might be.'
"Would that not be precisely the task, the vocation of our learned institutes, our universities Master?"
"Indeed, they should but they didn't, and still don't. There is no such place in this religion-ridden world other than our's here. Knowledge and Reason, is not that 'the Way', and 'True Words', as written on everything here? From this, does there not follow an idea of a well-organised world-citizency, worldgovernment, and unavoidably, a NON-CHOSEN but lottocratical government?"
