From "Stretch of the Imagination"
Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Atheism (materialism) means treating the dead as if they were unborn. I won't. By accepting the sacred, you reinvent religion.
To mark a separation between holy and profane, I take a ritual bath after any contact, or correspondence (even emails), with consultants, economists, Harvard Business School professors, journalists and those in similarly depraved pursuits; I then feel and act purified from the profane until the next episode.
