"It will be seen . . . that the Erewhonians are a
meed and long-suffering people, easily led
by the nose, and quick to offer up common
sense at the shrine of logic, when a philosopher
arises among them who carries them away . . .
by convincing them that their existing institutions
are not based on the strictest principles of morality"
Samuel Butler
Samuel Butler, un genio, creó un pais fantastico llamado Erewhon (utopia, como ven) habitado por gente con una serie de cualidades muy especiales. De los pocos tipos con los que me identifico por su forma de pensar. Popper es otro, y acabo de descubrir que Popper abre "Open Society and its enemies" con esta cita de Butler. Genial.
