On the importance of the 6 senses

- Look. There's Saturn. Saturn is the sixth planet from the sun...How many of the satellites of Saturn can you name? There's Mimas, Titan, Dione, Hyperion of course...

- I can't name any of them and fortunately they never come up in conversation.

- Sigh... Facts. I got a million facts at my fingertips.

- That's right. And they don't meant a thing, Because nothing worth knowing can be understood with the mind. Everything really valuable has to enter through a different opening... forgive the disgusting imagery. The brain is overrated.
