“Study after study has shown people to be stupid, insipid, unfaithful, unreliable, illogical, selfish, unfathomable, mean, absurd, and often insane. That is not to say there is no good in them. Nor does it mean that there is no sense in what they do. But even if there is a sense to it, they are themselves usually unaware of the real sense, and would deny it if you pointed it out to them. Human beings are neither good or bad; they are merely subject to influence.”
Mobs, Messiahs and Markets, P. 42
