All of our knowledge begins with the senses, proceeds then to understanding, and ends with reason. There is nothing higher than reason.

— Immanuel Kant (1768, by Johann Gottlieb Becker; Public Domain)
For too many, the journey begins and ends with the senses. They refuse to move the input to the stages of understanding and reason, and are therefore stuck in an emotionally-driven loop.
—Mike Hazell
