Bertrand Russell On Wisdom, Rationality, Hysteria And Our Die-Hard Determination Not To Think

In extremis, homo sapiens is not just prey to hysteria but revels in it.

We delight in hysteria and are rewarded with the psychological equivalent of sexual climax.

Mental masturbation.

Thought replaced by the simplification of fear and hatred.

Surrender to the autonomic system.

Frozen fright or frenzied flight.

Nothing in between.

No middle ground.

Only trenches flanking no man's land
