The Behaviour of Ashramites [6]

I would like to add two questions:

1. Why do people in the Asram (budding supermen) get furious against anything merely because it is new and unfamiliar? That is common and natural in animals; but human beings ought to have more open minds.

2. Why are they so ready to pass positive judgments on things about which they have insufficient knowledge? It would be better if they could accustom themselves to wait and learn.
