This level of free thinking is raw power in its purest form. How many of us were taught to think like this? Governments and their institutions need people to believe what they are told; to be accepting of the beliefs of the masses. And, there are people who accept this way of thinking easily because they don't want to be independent thinkers; to them it's far more comfortable to "go along" than stand out from the crowd because of what they believe. How do the sayings go? Ignorance is bliss and knowledge is power.
