"I HAVE often reflected, with Concern, upon the Condition of Humanity, in this Regard : And nothing can be more afflicting, than to behold one Part of the rational World making a Trade of misguiding the other !
[...]
Vulgar Minds are most struck with what is most incredible ; and the Way to convince, is, to amaze them. Reason makes few Proselytes : But Mystery rarely fails. And the less they know why, the fonder they grow of the Imposture."
Italics in the original... from 1724.
Not much has changed in 300 years, perhaps not even in 3,000 years.
The less they know, the fonder they grow.
Hocus pocus, transform your focus.
Just believe in anything,
Tie your thoughts up in a string.
Not in ones or twos or threes,
But all together, then you'll see,
What a fucking mess you've made.
Hocus pocus, you've been played.
