““I really do believe that our attitudes are shaped much more by our social groups than they are by facts on the ground. We are not great reasoners. Most people don't like to think at all, or like to think as little as possible. And by most, I mean roughly 70 percent of the population. Even the rest seem to devote a lot of their resources to justifying beliefs that they want to hold, as opposed to forming credible beliefs based only on fact.””
![“...[W]hy should we pay so much attention to what 'most people' think? The really reasonable people, who have more claim to be considered, will believe that the facts are exactly as they are.” quote by Socrates](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/0d1/socrates-405_absolute-truth_w-hy-should-we-pay-so-much-attention-to_1029000.jpg)
![“People have this belief that what we believe is the effect of the facts that we’re exposed to, and therefore, if we expose people to different and newer facts, they will change their beliefs. This is not true. […] The contents of people’s minds, the belief systems that they hold, are in no way…” quote by Stefan Molyneux](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/08d/stefan-molyneux-1819_faith_people-have-this-belief-that-what-we-bel_2763976.jpg)
