Quote by Blaise Pascal

The war existing between the senses and reason.

The war existing between the senses and reason.

Summary

This quote suggests a conflict between the senses, which relate to our immediate experiences and perceptions, and reason, which involves logical thinking and analysis. It implies that there is a struggle or war between these two ways of understanding the world. This conflict arises as our senses often provide information that may be conflicting or inconsistent with what reason tells us. It highlights the ongoing battle between instinctual reactions and rational decision-making, and raises questions about the balance between trust in our individual senses and the application of logical reasoning.

If I were beginning my career today, I don't think I would take the same direction. Television is at a crossroads at the moment. And although I am not up to date technologically, I suspect that somewhere out there people are conveying things about natural history by means other than television, and I think if I were beginning today, I'd be there.
