Quote by Thomas Henry Huxley
What we call rational grounds for our beliefs are often extremely irrational attempts to justify our instincts.
Summary
This quote highlights the tendency for humans to dress up their instincts in rational arguments. It suggests that our so-called "rational grounds" for our beliefs are often nothing more than attempts to rationalize our natural inclinations. Instead of objectively evaluating evidence and reasoning, we often cling to our instincts and find ways to justify them through seemingly rational arguments. This quote serves as a reminder that what we perceive as logical and rational may merely be a façade for our deeply ingrained instincts and biases.
