不习惯直接经验，我们可能会担心它。在阅读评论之前，我们不想读书或观看博物馆表演，以便我们知道该怎么想。我们失去了感知自己的信心。我们想在获得体验之前就了解体验的含义。我们对直接经验感到恐惧，我们将竭尽全力避免它。
(Unaccustomed to direct experience, we can come to fear it. We don't want to read a book or see a museum show until we've read the reviews so that we know what to think. We lose the confidence to perceive ourselves. We want to know the meaning of an experience before we have it. We become frightened of direct experience, and we will go to elaborate lengths to avoid it.)
