David is one of the most good-hearted people I know. In fact, I wouldn't in a million years try to persuade people that reason is less valuable than the gold it is. What I'm trying to do is free those who are deluded into thinking that they are driven by reason, or ought to be, from that prison.

David didn't say he wouldn't help me. He just said he probably wouldn't believe my story about the circus midgets kidnapping me and force-feeding my single-malt scotch and cocaine for a week.
