Quote of the Week

This week's quote is anti-chicken soup for the soul, a particularly devastating kick-in-the-balls and slap-in-the-face to the modern scientist. Naturally I have to share it:

"What could be cruder than a human being, who is limited to a narrow area of knowledge and practice and has the naivety of a child in most other areas? This is one of the elements that accounts for our clinical state of unconsciousness."

- John Ralston Saul, The Unconscious Civilization (1995 Massey Lectures)

Trying to think of a clever analogy to swarm behavior, but my narrow and naive mind fails me...
