That’s why we keep allowing ourselves to be talked into supporting unjust wars (not to mention actually dying in them), or voting for people whose main job seems to be to amass as much wealth for the rich as they can get away with. It is also why so many people are duped by exceedingly costly sugar pills sold to them by homeopathic “doctors,” and why we follow the advice of celebrities (rather than real doctors) about whether to vaccinate our kids.
当然，也许人类向来缺乏批判性思维。因此我们一次次被说服支持非正义战争（更不要说为此丢掉性命），或者投票给主要目标似乎是尽可能为富豪聚敛财富的人。如此多人也因此被主张顺势疗法的“医生”卖给他们的极其昂贵的糖衣药丸所欺骗，我们也因此在孩子是否接种疫苗的问题上听从名人（而不是医生）的建议。
