Summary

This quote reflects the tendency of Americans to place substantial value on public opinion and to be overly preoccupied with understanding the opinions of the majority. It suggests that Americans have a strong inclination to follow the crowd, striving to align themselves with what they perceive as the general consensus. This focus on average opinion, however, can sometimes overshadow individual critical thinking and independent viewpoints. In essence, the quote highlights the fascination and arguably overemphasis Americans have on understanding and conforming to the prevailing beliefs of the majority.
