“To think well is a laborious, often painstaking process until one becomes accustomed to being ‘thoughtful.’ Various institutions of society, in their failure to teach or demonstrate how to think well, set people up for thinking simplistically. . . . They often unwittingly promote half-truths — sometimes blatant lies — under the guise of cultural ideas we’ve taken for granted to be ‘’normal.’ On the basis of cultural norms, we usually assume that if everyone is thinking this or doing that, it must be normal and correct.” - Dr. M. Scott Peck
