Worshipping the Intellect

"There seems to be an inverse corrolary between those who worship the intellect and those who use it. [Sam] Harris, like so many atheists, is a devout worshipper of the intellect."

This quote goes well with the quote from St. Thomas More that I just posted a little bit ago. Education is different from simply acquiring information. Education means having a deeper view, a more connected view, a more holistic view, of knowledge. Not just information, but actual knowledge.
