"الميم للإيمان الأعمى يضمن استمراريته الخاصة عن طريق الوسيلة اللاواعية البسيطة لتثبيط الاستفسار العقلاني."
— Richard Dawkins
Simplified Meaning:
When people believe in something without questioning it, that belief continues to survive because they encourage others to do the same. Think about a rumor at school. If no one ever questions the rumor and just accepts it as true, it keeps spreading. People might tell others not to ask questions or think too much about whether the rumor makes sense. By doing this, the rumor sticks around and becomes stronger. This idea can apply to many beliefs or traditions. For instance, some superstitions endure because people simply follow them without thinking critically about why they exist. To avoid this, it's important to ask questions and think logically about our beliefs and why we hold them. This way, we can make more informed decisions rather than blindly following something that may not be true.
