notes,50
The disease of Belief in Abstract General Ideas.
"Its most characteristic symptom is his way of conceiving the connections between events. The only reason there can be for accepting a prediction is belief in a connection supposed to be real, in the sense if independent of our thoght, and for which the observed regularity is evidence."
But the term "real connection" is an abstract idea.
"You do indeed believe that you believe it!"
