About This Quote
Most people believe most of the things they believe only because they believe that most people believe them. This is a bit of an exaggeration, but there is a grain of truth to it. The reason why the beliefs of society are transmitted to us is not because they are true, but because we have been conditioned to accept them as true. We don’t do that on purpose, though – we just don’t know any better. Some people who have been around long enough make it their business to try to change the beliefs of society.
