BOREDOM with established truths is a great enemy of free men

Summary

This quote suggests that being bored with accepted or established truths can hinder the freedom of individuals. It implies that when people become disinterested or complacent with existing beliefs or ideas, they may become less inclined to question them or seek new knowledge. Consequently, this lack of curiosity and intellectual exploration can restrict their ability to think freely and maintain their personal freedom.

Mediocre people have an answer for everything and are astonished at nothing. They always want to have the air of knowing better than you what you are going to tell them; when, in their turn, they begin to speak, they repeat to you with the greatest confidence, as if dealing with their own property, the things that they have heard you say yourself at some other place. A capable and superior look is the natural accompaniment of this type of character.

Growing up in the Midwest, people don't drive Porsches and Ferraris. They drive Fords and Chevys. And so even if you have the opportunity to buy a more expensive car, it doesn't occur to you because it's not what you relate to.
