It requires ages to destroy a popular opinion

Summary

This quote suggests that it takes a significant amount of time and effort to dismantle or discredit a widely held belief or idea. Popular opinions often develop and gain acceptance over time, becoming deeply rooted in societal attitudes and beliefs. Challenging or changing such opinions can be difficult, as they are often reinforced by societal norms, social interactions, and cultural values. Therefore, debunking or disproving a popular opinion may require persistent and sustained efforts that go against the prevailing social order.
