Thought is one of the manifestations of human energy, and among the earlier and simpler phases of thought, two stand conspicuous — Fear and Greed. Fear, which, by stimulating the imagination, creates a belief in an invisible world, and ultimately develops a priesthood; and Greed, which dissipates energy in war and trade.

True story (I swear!): Years ago while working on my master's degree in math, I rented a room from a guy about my age who was defraying the cost of his mortgage by renting a couple of the spare rooms. The other renter was from Africa. He spoke excellent English and had a vocabulary almost as large as mine. In fact, the African and I could easily talk above our landlord's head, which used to exasperate him and amuse us. "I believe I shall indulge my peripatetic predelictions with a postprandial perambulation." Yes, geeky and pompous, all at once. Our landlord would fleer at us and demand that we cut it out.
He was a journalism major. He could have been president (and better than the one we have).
