Most humans suffer from LBS or "Lazy Brain Syndrome." The lack of being able to think for themselves! ;) People are lazy! Lazy, lazy lazy... Did I mention that people are lazy? Most people would rather listen to what someone else says and take it as gospel than look up the answer themselves. They want to know what they know, and God forbid anyone disagree with them. Once an outside source doubts the accuracy of ones knowledge, natural instinctual defense mechanisms force the person "who knows" to defend his knowledge. Whether he's right or wrong does not matter at that point. It's natural human psychology to argue the point. Facts mean nothing, subjective assumption takes over, and sheer determination to prove you're right. Convincing takes precedence, and debate ensues. Who the hell wants to be told they are wrong?! -- Regards, Eric Wichman Meteorites USA http://www.meteoritesusa.com 904-236-5394Received on Fri 19 Jun 2009 04:10:53 PM PDT |
