"意見が広く支持されているという事実は、それが全く馬鹿げていないという証拠にはならない。"
— Bertrand Russell
Simplified Meaning:
Just because lots of people believe in something doesn't mean it's true or makes sense. Imagine a long time ago, many thought the Earth was flat. Everyone agreeing didn't make it true. Over time, they learned the Earth is round. This shows that even popular ideas can be totally wrong. So, don't just trust something because lots of people believe it. Always question things and think for yourself.
