Atrophy

Children are rarely still, while elderly philosophers will sometimes remain rigid for minutes together.

Sir Francis Galton, Memories of My Life, Methuen, London, 1908, p. 278.

    I recently read this post on Philosophers’ Playground :
    “A friend of mine once said that if you ask “why?” once, you are a scientist. If you ask “why?” twice, you are a philosopher. If you ask “why?” more than twice, you are just a three year old annoying your mother.”
