We created a coterie of lunatics. All supporting one another. It felt good and meaningful. But you see, having such friends is both a blessing and a curse. While it is good as a support system, we are prone to inductive effects. Ever seen people yawning one after another? We automatically mimic what the other person is doing. It's like the transference of an electric charge. No wonder why people say, 'stay away from negative people.

The deductive method is the mode of using knowledge and the inductive method the mode of acquiring it.

Inductive reason which alone makes man master of his environment is an achievement and when once born it must be reinforced by inhibiting the growth of other modes of knowledge.
