   Crimestop means the faculty of stopping short, as though by instinct, at   
   the threshold of any dangerous thought. It includes the power of not   
   grasping analogies, of failing to perceive logical errors, of   
   misunderstanding the simplest arguments ... and of being bored or   
   repelled by any train of thought which is capable of leading in a   
   heretical direction. Crimestop, in short, means protective stupidity.
