Many people would sooner die than think In fact, they do so.

Summary

This quote by Bertrand Russell humorously suggests that the majority of individuals have an aversion to thinking critically and independently. Russell contends that some would rather face death than engage in the mental effort required for profound contemplation. By highlighting the passive nature of individuals who avoid thinking, often conforming to societal norms without question, the quote serves as a commentary on the significant number of people who lack the willingness to challenge their own beliefs or explore new perspectives.
