high culture, n.All

High culture (n.) needs ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠a double brain: one chamber for science, one for illusion — the one heated by passions and illusions, the other its regulator.

High culture (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠almost entirely based on the spiritualization of cruelty: the savage beast was never mortified — it merely became divine.
