     May I semi-disagree?

     In the first paragraph you seem to imply an acceptance of what
     you scorn in your second paragraph.

     In simple layman talk, I think (my private prejudice)
     that if people paid attention to their instinct ("events in
     the life and comsciousness of Man") we'd be a lot better off.
     Your word "unerringly" remains, of course, a big fat problem :-)
