Summary

The quote portrays a humorous situation where the speaker recalls being at a restaurant that advertised serving breakfast at any time of the day. However, the absurdity of ordering a food item like French Toast back in the historical period of Renaissance highlights a comical contradiction. The quote plays on the idea of bending the rules of time and showcasing a humorous interaction with the restaurant's concept of unconventional offerings.

Unless we proceed cautiously, there might well arise a few generations of mystics who conceive of the orgone metaphysically, divorced from non-living nature and who do not comprehend it from the standpoint of natural science. And it seems to me that we have more than enough mysticism as it is.
