Summary

This quote highlights the various ways people approach reasoning. It suggests that there are three types of individuals: those who are prone to flawed reasoning, those who lack the ability or desire to reason altogether, and those who actively oppose and oppress those who engage in rational thinking. In a world where rationality is not universally embraced, this quote reminds us of the challenges faced by those who value critical thinking and encourages us to persevere in championing reasoned thought despite opposition or indifference.

If, for instance, they have heard something from the postman, they attribute it to a semi-official statement; if they have fallen into conversation with a stranger at a bar, they can conscientiously describe him as a source that has hitherto proved unimpeachable. It is only when the journalist is reporting a whim of his own, and one to which he attaches minor importance, that he defines it as the opinion of well-informed circles.

You know what's No. 2? Transportation. Everyone thinks that No. 1 is transportation, and goes out and buys a hybrid car. Screw the hybrid cars. Don't eat hamburgers.
