On a regular basis, though, everyone must inevitably get much of their information second-hand. When it comes to anything scientific, political, or even sociological, the average person's experience doesn't come close to being able to judge information from other people/sources. We accept, by word alone, the statements of certain authorities, based only upon a collective agreement that those authorities are trustworthy and, for some, whether we like what they have to say. |

Regardless of one's knowledge on certain subjects, nothing restricts them from applying their own common sense to the question. There is a difference between believing something because someone has told you it is true, and believing something because someone told you and you can understand how it could work that way. |

Without critical thought one is a sheep. Most people are sheep even if they aren't as gullible as some they still hold onto popular opinion without even realizing it. |
