' Self-Congratulatory Delusion '...

Human beings never think for themselves.. For the most part,, members of our species, simply repeat what they are told, - and become upset, if they are exposed to any different view... The characteristic human trait, is not awareness but conformity... We are stubborn,, self-destructive conformists... Any other view of our species, is just a self-congratulatory delusion. .................. Michael Crichton
