Quote by Charles Babbage
A powerful attraction exists, therefore, to the promotion of a study and of duties of all others engrossing the time most completely, and which is less benefited than most others by any acquaintance with science.
Summary
This quote suggests that there is a strong inclination towards prioritizing the promotion and pursuit of certain studies and duties. However, these particular studies and duties do not necessarily benefit greatly from scientific knowledge compared to others. In other words, there is a tendency to place greater value on certain disciplines or responsibilities that may not rely heavily on scientific understanding, despite there being a strong attraction towards them.
