Morality Makes Stupid.- Custom Represents The Experiences Of Men Of Earlier Times As To What They Supposed Useful And Harmful - But The Sense For Custom (morality) Applies, Not To These Experiences As Such, But To The Age, The Sanctity, The Indiscussability Of The Custom. And So This Feeling Is A Hindrance To The Acquisition Of New Experiences And The Correction Of Customs: That Is To Say, Morality Is A Hindrance To The Development Of New And Better Customs: It Makes Stupid.
