I Love a Good Quote
“Even the self-assured truth-finders and self-proclaimed freedom-fighters reject Truth. As admirable as such endeavors may be, they still only really want it so long as it to some extent confirms what they had already presumed to be true.”
-Criss Jami-
“People tend to accept information that confirms their existing beliefs and feelings, and reject information that contradicts them. This is called “motivated reasoning,” and it means that providing people with corrective information often does not work and may even strengthen their original beliefs. This also means that when people receive new information, their existing beliefs and feelings may have more influence over whether they believe or reject this information than rational reasoning.”
-Rachel Hilary Brown-
" In today's society people no longer seek or desire truth. It is more comfortable to exist in a bubble with people who "think" the way they do. When thoughts and actions contrary to facts constantly go unchallenged, people lose the ability to think for themselves. People become so entrenched in group thought, the cognitive section of the brain is no longer functional." -Me-
