WTF does that mean? I hear people say this a lot. "I just learned this from a website I was on" or I just learned this from this book". Then they go on to repeat it as gospel. What's that all about.

-------------------- The Universe has an interesting sense of irony, in that you are the universe experiencing itself. All you are is a thought.

I have a buddy who always does this, I caught him talking shit about me because I question his sources and encourage him to check sources as well.
People just want to believe what they want to believe.
The less information challenges our paradigm and causes cognitive dissonance, the easier it is to slip past our bullshit detectors.

Intellectual delinquency.
Based on the shallow conclusions most people arrive at, I seriously doubt the majority spends any time pondering for themselves or obtain a single well considered opinion in their lifetime.

Just because 40,000 died in a nuclear holocaust is no reason to ban such weapons.
