The Oblivion of Knowledge
"Activity (an unhealthy and injurious activity) is daily increased by (efforts at) education. This same activity is daily diminished by Tau. Diminish it, and again diminish it, till there come to be absolutely none of it left. By nonaction there is nothing that may not be done. One might undertake the government of the world without ever taking any trouble. And, as for all those that take trouble, they are not competent to the government of the world."
