"Nous avons maintenant sombré à une profondeur à laquelle réaffirmer l'évidence est le premier devoir des hommes intelligents."

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, people start to ignore simple truths or forget common sense ideas. When this happens, it's important for smart and thoughtful people to remind everyone about these basic truths. Imagine if people in a community forgot how important it is to get along with neighbors. In such a situation, a wise person might need to remind everyone that being kind and helpful to each other makes the community better for everyone. This might seem obvious, but when people forget simple yet important things, reminding them is crucial. So, if you see others overlooking important facts or common sense, don’t hesitate to remind them, even if it feels like stating the obvious. It helps keep everyone on the right track and prevents bigger problems.
