The Creator's wisdom and goodness to us in this respect became obviousto me in this land. I could no longer doubt that it is better for us tobe ignorant of the future.
From Kiliak I sailed over a black sound to the kingdom of Askarak; therenew wonders greeted me. While in Cabac, people are to be seen withoutheads, here, on the contrary, individuals come into the world with sevenheads. These are great universal geniuses. In former times, they wereworshiped with almost divine veneration, and were... made senators, chiefmagistrates, &c. As they had as many plans and expedients as heads, theyexecuted with zeal and rapidity many different things, and while thegovernment was in their hands, there was nothing left unchanged.
But as they made several sets of ideas effective at once, it happened, very naturally, that these ideas came in contact with each other. Atlast, they mingled together so intricately, that the seven-headedgeniuses could not discriminate in from out. The affairs of governmentbecame so disordered that centuries were required to restore them to thesimplicity from which these all-knowing magistrates had brought them.
