But having flung, as it were, a Buddhist spanner into the unreflecting doctrinaire mechanism of Western Psychology, I'd like to do something similar to the reflexive smugness of the Middle Way, by suggesting that wit (being charming and funny and witty) counts for too little among the Three True Religions (one of which is not Confucianism), and by saying that among those things, other than logic and reason, by which we ought to be persuaded, wit counts as great as any.

Philosophy, politics, entertainment. Art, music, poetry, science. Macrocosm, microcosm.
