It's not practical to be everywhere all at once to record first hand every event. So, at some point you need to rely on others. The more limited your resources

- rendall 8y agoIn my opinion, that supports the thesis even further. It's not necessary to believe something is true in order to use the information: one can provisionally accept it until more information comes in. Ideally, this is how the scientific method works.
- imartin2k 8y agoAgree. Also many people ignore that it is actually possible to accept that something is unknown, at least at a given moment. Many of the most absurd beliefs are the consequence of people not being able to accept that there is not an answer (yet) for a phenomenon. So instead, they rely on "believing" to create an illusion of certainty for themselves.
