I regularly think about and reference this Wallace interview with Pearl Buck in which he asks if she thinks if there’s any real difference between men and women and she says of course, men are more emotional, more romantic in their thinking.

"basic common sense" is not -- at all -- what the Mystery of the Annunciation is about; nor the Mystery of the Nativity; nor the miracle of the loaves & the fishes; nor the entirety of Matthew 5-7. The Cross is a scandal -- the entire message of the Cross is an affront to "basic common sense"!

It certainly felt that way at the time, as it seems reasons can be refined by reasoning but I had no earthly idea how to refine my motives, nor which motives were worth refining, nor (as all reasoning seemed motivated) how to move “up” from motive to pure reasoning.
