#RELIGION: A set of #beliefs held as #dogmas, dominating the conduct of life, going beyond or contrary to #evidence, and inculcated by methods which are emotional or authoritarian, not intellectual.
—Bertrand Russell

I mean by intellectual integrity the habit of deciding vexed questions in accordance with the #evidence, or of leaving them undecided where the evidence is inconclusive. This virtue, though it is underestimated by almost all adherents of any system of #dogma, is to my mind of the very greatest social importance and far more likely to benefit the world than #Christianity or any other system of organized #beliefs.
—Bertrand Russell

"The speed with which people will disavow themselves tomorrow from what they do today will astonish you." - Futurist Jim Carroll

Just watch.

There will be countless people tomorrow who will say, "Well, I wasn't really a supporter." "I wasn't behind it." "I never really believed in all those ideas." "Ya, I always thought it was wrong."

They will suggest they are innocent. They were doubters all along. They had nothing to do with it.

That they would have spoken up except that....

The list goes on.

Tomorrow, they will try to bend the truth to whatever new reality they want to slide into.

Remember this post.

You'll watch it happen.

The speed with which people back away from their previously strongly held beliefs indicates that those beliefs were really nothing but temporary expediency.

This happens with innovation and leadership too. Think about it! Think about all the excuses, attitudes, and shifts in perspective when they disavow their previous stance as the future suddenly appears. 

Who are they?

People who aren't very good at innovation, but who are great at excuses.

Take a look around you.

You are surrounded by them.

People who are shallow in their belief system, narrow in their ethics, and quick
to disavow their past.

And in your mind, you know that their minds are often just simply empty vessels of expediency, where they will do and say and act with whatever repulsive idea, hateful belief or conspiracy-laden agenda that fits their shallowness.

Or whatever agenda-of-the-moment they can adopt, espouse, and support that fits into their belief system.

Just watch.

You know I'm right.

“A person who falsely believes he or she is knowledgeable will not seek out clarification of his or her beliefs, but rather rely on his or her ignorant position.”
