There's been some research in cognitive science, I'm told, that discloses that there have always been perhaps 10 to 15 percent of people who are, as Pascal puts it, so made that they cannot believe. To us, when people talk about faith, it's white noise.

Summary

This quote suggests that there is a cognitive scientific research revealing that around 10 to 15 percent of individuals are innately incapable of having faith or belief in something. This is likened to "white noise" in the context of discussions on faith, implying that these people are unable to comprehend or engage in such discussions. It implies that for this particular group of people, the concept of faith holds no meaning or significance, as their cognitive makeup lacks the capacity for belief.
