Never in my reading life have I found a chapter in a book that mentions such a range of characters. In Chapter IX of Volume Six, Mason manages to pull together Florence Nightingale, Euclid, Pythagoras, Satan, William Shakespeare and Karl Marx in her exploration of the Way of Reason.
What point does she make? Reason is a yes man who will try to confirm any idea accepted by the Will.
Which is how we get Florence, Shakespeare, Marx, and your children all thinking their own thoughts right.
