[Quote No.43106] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires - desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. [Therefore for the real Truth-seeker, it is vital to maintain a disciplined skepticism regardless of their desires and subject all things to intense doubting scrutiny and the need for sufficient evidence before accepting them as true and then using them, for example, in helping make informed choices.]" - Bertrand Russell
British philosopher and mathematician.
