Did he 'go over' to believing in only direct experience, or did he just loss enough old-time religion to drop the extreme of dogmatic belief? I'm curious how they manage to make having faith only in direct experience a cultural tradition.

Now, aren't we a fascinating animal, eh? You know Everett then?
