"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been deceived long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the deception. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The deception has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back."
- Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Darkness
