It belongs, you see, to a genre of manuscripts which are to be suppressed on that world.
To the ignorant, fearful and weak these truths must, I suppose, seem frightening, perhaps as other truths concerning nature, long ago, the movement of the earth, the nature of the sun, the distance of stars, seemed so frightening.
But these truths are not really so frightening, not really.
No more than the beating of the heart, the circulation of the blood.
But those who fear to learn need not consider these matters.
Let them remain in ignorance, or labor with excuses and qualifications to maintain their sheltered enclaves of comforting sophistries, such fragile defenses against storms of fact.
I do not object.
