The search and striving for truth and knowledge is one of the highest of men's quality. So often. The pride is most loudly voiced by those who strive at least, and certainly we should take care not to make the intellect our gold.

This characteristic is reflected inequalities of its priests. The intellectual the intellect has a sharp eye for methods and tools but is blind to end and values.
