In another nutshell Benjamin Franklin also pinpointed the chink in intellect's amour: "So convenient a thing it is to be a rational creature since it enables us to find or make a reason for everything one has a mind to do." It's fun to watch intellect's champions trying to rationalize the value of intellect.
