This book is SO full OF provocative sentences and

essay, Huxley is commenting on some remarks by Dean
Inge. Huxley doesn't agree with the Deans thesis, but
he does say this:
THE spectacle Of people who are never alone or in

activity. who never stop to mediate or recollect them
selves, fills me with all the Deans uneomprehendiEg

the person who is By nature impatient with thought

There are many good jobs that can be held down

And when the anti-thinking human returns from his
days work, he need not bother about thinking either.
He can turn on the radio instead. Ee
