HJFinAZ: HHmmmmmmmmmm........ "IF", I remember correctly, Herbert Spencer wrote something similar to this.. I do believe it can be found at the bottom of p.570 in a certain book I read..
At the end of Appendix II
"Spiritual Experience"
"There is a Principle which is a Bar against all Information,Which is Proof against all Arguments and which cannot fail to keep Man in everlasting Ignorance-That Principle Is Contempt Prior To Investigation"
Herbert Spencer
