Black Dogs: Misguided skepticism?

I like the way this book was written…really interesting points of view regarding reason and spirituality. How the two conflict with one another and coexist at the same time. To what extent can we mold, control, and shape our lives and society? And to what extent do we feel, embrace, and delve into the intangible? While this doesn't have a lot to do with the story itself, one quote from this book in particular stuck in my mind...

…a furious expense of nervous energy we mistook for efficiency.

I feel like that happens a lot in our world...everything is always a frenzy, a crisis, or a crisis averted. how far r we realli getting with this "nervous energy"? is it realli adding to our progress as a society?

Yeah I really liked the characters and how they represented two completely opposite views of reason and spirituality.
