Inoculation Of Sense Like Electricity, Inscrutable
Incertus argues that the inoculation of sense or reason may be possible, comparing it to electricity’s surprising powers. He notes human advancement often comes from unforeseen discoveries, urging openness to such public-benefit proposals. He questions why madness might be easier to graft than correct thinking, urging empirical proof before judgment.
