About This Quote

The family is the cradle of the world's misinformation. The family is where children are raised. Parents pass along their knowledge to their children, who then pass it on to their children. This process continues for hundreds of years, providing us with our current set of facts.

The information given to the next generation is the best that has been passed down over the years, but it’s far from perfect! As an example, while many people might believe that Julius Caesar was assassinated while he was in a bath tub, actually he was strangled to death in the Senate by conspirators who had made it look like he was murdered while bathing. These facts come from one or more generations of history. They reflect imperfect human nature and are therefore called misinformation.
