@ErcanErdemArdal @metin @mastodonmigration I had Asimov’s quote in mind when I jumped in (of ours becoming a culture of "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge"). Now your *entirely* on-point comment brings me to “Five percent of the people think; ten percent of the people think they think; and the other eighty-five percent would rather die than think.”

Which apparently neither Russell, GBShaw nor Edison said. Test an AI results-bot and weep with me — AI’s pull variations in from them, but QuoteInvestigator finds one nugget in a 1850s Harper’s article, the twist in an ag magazine in 1913, and our venerated three nowhere near it. https://quoteinvestigator.com/2018/09/23/think/
