Overview

Excerpt from Man and the Glacial Period Wheresoever workers assemble, there idlers gather to feast on the fruits of honest toil; a part are pitiable paupers, some traffic in unwholesome wares, others swindle the unwary under the cloak of honest dealing and cheat justice by specious pleas, and still others steal and rob. Thus the laborer is always the prey of the idler, and progressive mankind is handicapped by the burden of the helpless and the perverse. In like manner the workshops and market-places of science are haunted by harpies a. Part are the feeble of mind who always absorb but never produce, some starve and poison hungry minds with the husks of fiction and the lotus of myth, others foist falsehood on the unwary under the guise of science and hide from justice behind shields of skillfully-woven words, and still others scoff at reason and rob knowledge of its glory. Thus creative genius is the prey of intellectual parasites, and the progress of knowledge is hindered by the helpless and the perverse.
