“Plumbing and philosophy are both activities that arise because elaborate cultures like ours have, beneath their surface, a fairly complex system which is usually unnoticed.” Mary Midgley
Would like to quote this, although rather than unnoticed I do think some refuse to acknowledge the complexity.
Pretty sure the subtext is that there is also a similarity in what flows underground in both cases.
