Wow, you're right! I suppose the pictures are nice to have but I do find the placing strange. But I should say thank you for catching the misattributed quotation. I didn't realise it was so long and thought he'd stopped quoting much sooner.

There are shorter responses but I did want to bring up the later sections. Specifically why we consider virtues to be childish but things that should be childish to be adult. For example, the only time you really hear anyone saying "enemies" is on the playground or the battlefield. It would be seen as very odd in business or daily life.

I did read an essay about the fear of childishness. If I could remember where that was I might've worked it in as well.

"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."
~John Stuart Mill~
