Summary

This quote suggests that the biggest obstacle to truth and freedom within society is the collective mentality of the majority. It implies that when a large group of individuals unanimously agrees and aligns their beliefs, they can become a powerful force that suppresses the pursuit of truth and limits individual freedoms. This highlights the potential dangers of conformity and the dominant influence it can have on shaping societal norms and values, ultimately hindering progress and the expression of diverse perspectives.
