[National Review]Is the unexamined life the only one worth living? John Derbyshire in the National Review confuses innocence with ignorance and makes a plea for "carelessness and in-attention." Perhaps what he
wants to say is that we spend too much time thinking about the
wrong things, but what he in fact argues is that we spend too much time thinking:
there are regions of life, thought and behavior that are beyond reason's scope, and ought to stay there.
