"Remarkably
virtually everyone in developed countries desperately tries to believe
that they are immune to indoctrination. They think for themselves and
readily know the difference between truth and falsity, fantasy and
reality, superstition and science, fact and fiction. Technologically
sophisticated cultures are conditioned to accept belief systems,
behaviors, and values that would have been rejected out of hand by their
stone-age predecessors. Primitives would instantly sense the obvious
threats to survival and adjustment, or simple nonsense, inherent in many
of the treasured beliefs of modern society." - Wilson Bryan Key, The Age of Manipulation
