Talking to, and reminding myself here, of course,
paraphrasing a quote I once heard from Joseph Campbell
who once said, "Americans, if given the option to learn
the truth, or attend a lecture on truth, they invariably
attend the lecture."
This most probably applies to nearly everyone.

"The trick to learning a new paradigm is to set aside your
current one while you’re learning rather than attempt to
fit the new knowledge into your existing model."

"What the thinker thinks, the Prover proves". - R.A. Wilson

Once, a man found Mulla Nasrudin searching for something on
the ground outside his house. On being asked, Nasrudin replied
that he was looking for his key. The man also joined in the
search and in due course asked Mulla: "Where exactly did you
drop it?"
Mulla answered: "In my house."
"Then why are you looking here?" the man asked.
"There is more light here than in my house," replied Mulla.

One day, one of Mullah Nasrudin's friends came over and
wanted to borrow his donkey for a day or two. Mulla,
knowing his friend, was not kindly inclined to the
request, and came up with the excuse that someone had
already borrowed his donkey. Just as Mullah had uttered
these words, his donkey started braying in his backyard.
Hearing the sound, his friend gave him an accusing look,
to which Mullah replied:"I refuse to have any further
dealings with you since you take the donkey's word over
mine."
