Open-mindedness and idiocy

"An open mind, in questions that are not ultimate, is useful.  But an open mind about ultimate foundations either of Theoretical or Practical Reason is idiocy.  If a man's mind is open on these things, let his mouth at least be shut."  
— C. S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man
