41. And taking it even further...
There's also all of the confusion people experience with conflicting information, such as the evolution vs creationism conflict; moral issues dealing with the likes of abortion, marriage, controlled substances, and single-parenthood.

Every day new scientific discoveries are made, and every day people with influence over others develop ways to ridicule them and keep the populace in the dark

I think that deep down inside, most people know that they're suckers but they don't have the guts to confront it, so they go along with everyone around them because it FEEEELS GOOOOOOOD.

I find it amusing how American folklore glorifies nonconformity, yet most Americans conform to whatever pathetic little sub-culture they surround themselves with.

It's the irony. "Oh Bartleby, oh humanity."
