Summary

This quote highlights that the most dangerous threat to truth is not necessarily deliberate lies, but rather the power of persistent and unrealistic myths. While lies can be exposed and discredited, myths often have a persuasive and ingrained nature that makes them difficult to challenge and overcome. These myths distort reality and hinder the recognition and acceptance of truth, ultimately impeding progress and fostering a culture of misinformation. It serves as a reminder to critically examine popular narratives and consider the impact of deeply ingrained myths on our understanding of the world.
