Warum, was würdest du von jemandem halten, der sich darauf setzte, bei Karten zu spielen - auch für Geld (was ich hoffe und vertraue, dass du nie tun wirst) - bevor er die Namen der Karten kannte und die am höchsten waren und die anderen nahmen? Natürlich wäre er sehr töricht. Genauso dumm sind diejenigen, die Theorien (wie sie sie nennen) über diese Welt und wie sie sich entwickelt haben, bevor sie herausgefunden haben, was die Welt von Ihnen ist
