This reminds me of the essay Cynicism is dangerously naive

Perhaps the essay agrees with Dali's first point, that links cynicism and naivety. But what of Dali's second point? In the essay, cynics play the game of seriousness in order to hide base motives, not madness. And the danger arises from thinking that every-one is like them; discern their base motives and you can strike a deal. Perhaps Dali means something very different?
