People are certainly remarkable creatures. What makes anybody think they are smart.
Because they use scholasticism to reason instead of empiricism. They pretend they know everything based on their own personal beliefs about a subject, not because they have any actual proof or personal experience.
Most people see the world this way, clad; as described by someone else. That is the herd mentality. Some don't believe shit until it is seen with their own eyes and makes sense in their own minds, but that isn't the norm. Usually we just turn to some book somewhere to tell us how to live and breathe. It is much easier that way...
