Cosmic Trigger - ROBERT ANTON WILSON
My own opinion is that belief is the death of intelligence.
As soon as one believes a doctrine of any sort, or assumes certitude,
one stops thinking about that aspect of existence. The more certitude
one assumes, the less there is left to think about, and a person sure
of everything would never have any need to think about anything
and might be considered clinically dead under current medical standards,
where absence of brain activity is taken to mean that life has ended.
